I bring that up because I think that is exactly what allowed the German people to live in the Third Reich. I think that is exactly what allowed for people in the South to live in a slave owning society. And I think that every empire that has ever existed has needed this trait to have their population accept the morality of their society militarily occupying another society.
I don't think this really has anything to do with the concept of adulthood, no

Children in the third Reich were expected to be Nazis. Children in the south were taught slaves were subhuman.

That has more to do with existing in a given society at all than it has to do with being treated as an adult.
