No, I mean nazis and fascists today who have not committed any crimes YET, they just believe that people of other races should be killed. No crime in behaviour, just a belief - is it justified to find them repulsive?
Apparently you find only their beliefs repulsive and not those people who are potential new Hitlers. Because of such attitudes holocaust was made possible because people like you were too tolerant and waited until they killed millions and only then found them repulsive.
It is OK to be tolerant. But it is also OK to be aware of the dangers which tolerance towards extreme intolerance might cause.
And I do not believe that you are capable of finding me ignorant. Ignorant people are usually not able to judge other people´s ignorance. At least you will not find me repulsive because of this belief.
I'm not saying I'm not aware of the dangers. I'm just saying I'm not going to jump the gun in terms of being judgmental. If someone does something terrible, I will judge them for it.
"Everyone is a potential new Hitler".
From certain perspective and under certain interpretation of the word "Hitler" it might be true but still I would not reduce the differences between the potentials of different people to do harmful things. Everyone can be dangerous or harmful or whatever. Yes, but it does not mean that there are not any differences here - some people simple have much bigger potential to become harmful or dangerous.
OK, I think that I have gone too far from the OP´s topic. In fact, I think or hope that I can see your point and I have no wish to force you to find certain people repulsive. The reason for my first question for you was that I just wanted to make sure if you really mean it and it seems that you do, so it is perfectly OK. Thanks for the willingness to discuss this issue with me.
Is it normal that I find men who hold feminist beliefs repulsive?

Everyone is a potential "new Hitler".
Google "Godwin's Law".
