I like this as a thought experiment: Lemmy, at what point does someone stop being nice? And is there a difference between acting or being nice?

It’s like when people romanticise the old London gangsters and say they were polite and always looked after their mother. That still doesn’t make up for a lifetime of criminal intimidation, physical assault and murder.

If someone’s polite but just waiting for a local chapter of blackshirts to form they’re not nice people.
