Genuinely confused here: are you saying that those who are on the side of the professor are conservatives?

For a different professor, there's Dr. Bob Altemeyer, who wrote a book in 2006 (after 40 years of research) that includes a section on evidence-based deradicalisation[0] of authoritarian followers, pp240-245: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TropeCodifier ?

Oberleutnant (as he was then) "Kongo" Müller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siegfried_Müller_(mercenary) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGAUW1ZF2xI

Generalmajor Reinhard Gehlen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhard_Gehlen#Gehlen_Organiz... https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/bnd-bundesnachrichtendienst-n...

SS-Sturmbannführer Wernher Magnus Maximilian Freiherr von Braun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun#American_car... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJ9HrZq7Ro

  You too may be a big hero
  Once you've learned to count backwards to zero
  "In German, und Englisch, I know how to count down
  Und 我学习中文!" says Wernher von Braun

    Ps: Repentance is one of the things that sell better as science fiction.. (Linebarger?)

    Not to be dismissive, just "providing" another perspective while I take a walk to think about that:

    In the other bidirection..

    If Steve and Ive grokked each others' Jobs..

    (You could complete the couplet but I may or may not recommend it)

    Edit: Atticus would have been more convincing (to me) if he was more ex-Confederate officer and less Mary Sue

    Ps2: deprogramming (ie something that could be applied to Scott Locklin.. I have read his Optiksy takes while thinking about his quasiracist ones.. & tentatively conclude that the Buxton [e: dissonance] angle^W ansatz is in the realm of.. plausibility)

    Ps3: there's the Peenemuende slave Labor museum^W monument. Compare German (P/Tin Drum) and Japanese (??? sporadic priests^W Buddhist chaplains I guess) tatemae?
