Was Hitler...EVIL?

there is a saying:
actions make the man
however he could have been and probably was mentally screwed up
so bad that the only place fit for him to be would have been a psyche ward.

The question remains though, is it evil if you do what you believe to be right?

We could say that the 9/11 terrorists are evil, they killed hundreds of innocent people, but they would describe themselves as noble freedom fighters.

It should be clear to us all that Morality is a point of view, it is shaped by your beliefs, but who are we to tell others that their beliefs are wrong, or even evil.

It is easy for us to call Hitler evil, because we all hold similar moral values...but are any of us so impartial and just that we can decide what acts are evil and what are good?

well by definition evil has nothing to do with relativity or perspective. either something is morally wrong or it's not. just cause someone thinks what they are doing is right doesn't mean it is.

amd since you're so high on darwinism:

oh i see where you're coming from. there's nothing wrong with that is there?

Hmm, yes I recall declaring myself a follower of the Darwin theory...and, with all due respect, Morals are a matter of opinion...everyone has a different moral perspective, the dictionary isn't a tool for relative debate.

In fact, he did do what HE felt was best for humanity...so he wasn't acting out of malice but HE thought he was doing what was right.

Although he may have been wrong and his beliefs on what is right and wrong where extremely warped, does that actually make him evil? [/B]

If Hitler truely felt that every single race was inferior to german/aryan/supermen, and that he was obligated to make sure that all non-supermen were destroyed, does that make him good?

I think only a Sociapath truly beleives that what Hitler did was not evil. Whether evil is a social construct, or a true existance, by definition, Hitler is infact evil.

No doubt about it....doesn't care why he did it, doesn't care who says what...doesnt matter if morality exists or not....if anyone is Evil, Hitler is it. ✅

If you want to argue that Hitlier is not evil based purely on point of view then the world you are living in is entirely without morality or any possibility of value.

By any reasonable or useful definition of the word evil, Hitler was it.

Let the total relatavists cry that there is no such thing, but an ounce of common sense says otherwise.

It's called common sense, kid. And it's supported by every basic law of human decency and accepted morality. The fact that Hitler believed killing millions of people out of hate was RIGHT just shows how skewered and ultimately evil his thought process was. [

Yes, from the perspective of himself and the Nazis. Yes, morally bad or wrong. Exactly. From his point of view it was not morally bad or wrong, therefore it was not evil.

So if a person thinks he is doing good, he is not evil?

dude, not exactly the stuff you want to rattle around. yeah your entitled to your opinion, but when your opinion is as hateful and bigoted as supporting social darwinism (genocide as most affecionately call it), as you are strangely proud to admit, then you probably deserve a tiny bit of biased irrational opposition (as i tend to give) seeing as it tends to include the submission of minorities and has resulted in such events as the appartheid, segregation of african americans in the U.S., genocide in Rowanda, extermination of native americans, human "cleansing" in the ormerly called Zair, and everybody's favorite: the holocaust

To take that further, you can only be labeled evil if you are doing something which you know and feel is wrong but continue to do it anyway.
