>>3768279The lie we have all been taught to believe is that Hitler was the most evil man in the world, when the clear truth is that he wasn't even the most evil man in Europe. If you were to use the Holocaust as a metric then you should examine the morals the responsible parties and their intent as evil in most case can be argued from a subjective point of view when concerning the "why" of someones actions. Himmler, Hitler, Goebbels and the like all believed all believed in bringing about a greater future for their peoples and eradicating the scourge of Marxism which they saw as evil, the perpetrators of this evil to them were the Jews that supported, established it and even attempted to destroy their homeland with it during the Spartacus Rebellion.
If you base it off of pure body count then the Marxists and Stalin are the holders of that title, let alone allowing people like Lavrentiy Beria and Genrikh Yagoda to exist at all. I don't think its hard to argue that it is objectively evil to drive around the city and pick a girl to take home and rape for the night before forcing her to accept gifts as a sign of consent, because you hold the position of power that Beria did.
History aside, ask a Muslim today, what they consider to be evil and they will probably say the US. Ask an American and they will give you a different answer. Ask a Chinese and they will say whatever their government tells them to. Evil is subjective based on the morals you hold and therefore your definition of malicious, ill-meaning and intentionally destructive holds true to you, but not to others. Was the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima an act of evil that maliciously and intentionally killed ~200,000 Japanese people in the hopes that it would save 1,000,000 American lives? The Japanese would say yes, the Americans would say no.
An argument of if Hitler was evil is not an argument about evil, it's whether you believe your morals are superior to whomever disagrees.
