alot of what i am saying in this thread is from a baseless nationalistic standpoint, not a personal standpoint, more an outsider with no biases looking in. where as i feel you guys are looking at it from a humanity as a whole, borderless we're all the same standpoint

when my entire side of this discussion is from a nationalistic viewpoint for lack of a better word. one group of humans taking on another group of humans.

from hitlers vantage he was the best of guys, he was freeing his country of those commie bolshevik jews, and trying to make a great nation for his people to become greater and prosper. it was at the expense of others to gain that, so again it might not have been "right" for humanity, but if he was successful, he would have been in the "right" for his people for sure

but since he wasn't successful, and conquered nothing, he is wrong and a demon.

yet alexander the great killed probably more people, actually conquered places and all that and we view him as a hero of human history. although he's probably a bad example because the nation he put into place immediately splintered and fell apart after his early death lol
