Originally posted by BackFireThe Nazis started on most of their acts that are generally disapproved of when Europe was under martial law. That circumstance produces a much lower level of general depravity than peace time can.
The witch hunt was stupid and arguably evil. Just as the Nazi beliefs and acts are.

"Did he now? I think you're barking up the wrong tree, AC. Hitler didn't consider his acts evil, he seriously thought he was cleansing the world of an evil race, namely the Jews. And purifying his own people to live into a new age. And historians say, the Nazi regime was the best fortified army in existence with a completely unified front, second only to the Roman Empire. Hitler brought a country back from the brink of destruction into a major power. You have to admire the man for that."
I didn't say Hitler considered his acts evil. Read what I wrote carefully. Whether he thought them right or not, he clearly knew that people would oppose him. Yet he continued, with the intention of carrying out his will and removing all who get in his way.

Evil is conducting yourself in an immoral way. However, certain people would disagree with this point. Take for example a criminal's way of thinking. Now they would think how they conduct themselves is not against their moral being. It might be against the norm, but not against their typical thinking patterns, thus they are not immoral. The person who does not conduct themselves as the criminal will seem it differently. He/she will see the criminal as evil; that the criminal is conducting himself immorally. Once again, the good vs evil concept comes into play. Two sides of the coin.
You dont understand. Stealing jewlry is not evil but murdering is.
Yerssot posted a definition of evil: “Causing ruin, injury, or pain; harmful.”
So, Hitler WAS evil. What he MEANT to do doesn’t matter in this context. He was also stock-raving insane, believing certain groups of people had the power to bring a nation to its knees.
It’s along the same lines as the racists here in DK, who whine that refugees and immigrants threaten Denmark. A paradox, as these racists see themselves as better people than the refugees/immigrants but still seem to think they’re stronger. And what a weak culture the Danish must be, if it take a turban and Arab-pop to bring it down.
Shaber> Ah, I prased that wrong.
Racists see themselves as better than our refugees/immigrants. But they also seem to think the refugees/immigrants are somehow stronger than they are (the racists that is), otherwise why feel threatened. And as you usually find racism on the extreme right(white)-wing I find this a peculiar idea – as the extreme right views themselves as über-people anyways.

lol, only the ones most detached from reality think they're "uber-people!"
Most who are hostile to immigrants amongst the British (nowadays) feel threatened because they feel weaker than the immigrants.
hate hitler all you want. But hes ones one of the greates military geniouses in the worldother German officers made up the plans based on his ideas, it was when he stopped listening to the Generals and other officers and executed his own plans and military strategy that they went down the drain. He was a good manipulator with big ideas, but as a military strategist he was totally helpless without the aid of his loyal high ranking officers.
