Comment on What's a word for "I actively endorse it for others even though I dislike it”?

Your sentiment is both positive and negative, so probably too subtle for one single word you might need a phrase or a clever oxymoron or something like "enthusiastic nonchalance".
Maybe you "critically champion" or "gallantly tolerate" it or something. Maybe try German.
Frankly though, I'd save your hatred for the worthy, keep it pure otherwise you might not get the right mix of fear and anger to reach true endarkenment.

Not sure I could construct a “plausible” single word either. The best two-word-phrase I could come up with would be “Gönnendes Desinteresse”.
Apparently “Gönnen” has no simple, positive translation when applied to others. To yourself, it’s indulging in something, allowing oneself to have something. Applied to others, it means anything from a lukewarm “I don’t begrudge you (thing)” over “I’ll let you have (thing)” (in the sense of “I’ll let you have that victory”), a more explicitly approving “I think you deserve (thing)” to a cordial “I’m happy for you to have (thing)”.
So basically, it means some form of “Disinterest while approving of others having something”. I suppose the missing piece is having a single word for “I think others should have this thing”.
