Because- It is the opposite of what you were expected to say!!

No, just a bit mad and at the wrong place at the right time with the right ideas, right ideas until he thought about taking over the world and all that.

He built motorways, provided jobs etc when Germany was having a bad time, thats why he was voted in.

Yes!

Hitler was EVIL.

No, he did not regard his acts as being wrong.

He believed what he was doing was right and just and noble.

He was deeply wrong and what he did was evil but he himself was not.

Actually eastern expansion was always part of his ideology, as was his ridding Europe of Jews. He didn't get in for his policy on providing jobs or banning hunting- he got in because times were really bad and people looked to the extreme nationalist wings to repair damaged pride from world war one and make Germany great again.

Bet he was good in bed. That drive, ya know. LOL

Anyone who says he wasn't evil has a very questionable sense of morality if not completely lacking.

Or a confuse idea of philosphy....go figure...

It is ambiguous to a certain extent based on perspective though, today, nearly every if not every sane person would say that he was for the atrocities he committed. He clearly didn't think he was evil, just that he was doing the right thing 😬...and his followers probably thought the same thing as well.

Since when is believing that you're evil a requirement for being evil?

'Course he wasn't evil. There is no "good and evil" as such anymore, they're outdated and old-fashioned ways of thinking, obviously with religious roots. Hitler was a mentally unstable sociopath with delusions of grandeur. He was no more 'evil' than anybody else.

Hitler was the nicest, kindest, jolliest, heartiest old fellow who ever lived. If all white people were like him, the world would be a better place.

Hitler is evil at one of its purist states: Completely sick, insane, ambitious, and unaware that what he is doing is wrong. People talk about point of view, but when that point of view murders millions, it's 100% evil.

Nothing puts a smile on your face quite like genocide.

And killing the Jews, I'm guessing. These were plans he had from the start, he just didn't know they'd come true. When an egg is hatching, it'll become a chicken, because it's set to be a chicken. Hitler was a nut, so he set to become an even bigger nut.

Uh-huh...I was joking, y'know.

Or was I...? 👿

Hitler only followed in the footsteps of what many did before him, he only did it on a larger scale. Evil is in the mind of the beholder.
