So you're saying that the belief is so "nasty" that assigning it any non-zero probability is a bad idea.

No. I'm only saying that it's dangerous, and that even if you truly think that such a belief would have the advantage of reflecting reality better, you still have to trade that against the disadvantage of it being extremely unsuited to your cultural environment.

And yet, you claim to be a socialist.

How is this even relevant outside some weird partisan definition of "socialist" and "cultural environment"? And how is this not a purely political jab at all?

My point is that I don't believe this constitutes your true rejection, and was trying to argue by pointing to a belief you hold that isn't exactly mainstream.
