it's almost as if pure evil caricatures are extremely rare in history. That everyone that has ever done something great, good or bad, has done it for a multitude of nuanced reasons. it's almost as if looking at history through the lens of purely good or evil is pointless; that the real lessons are in understanding the true reasons why people did what they did, from every angle, and judging them after you know the facts.
Luckily the facts on Hitler are insurmountable and obvious. Turns out, like with Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Ivan The Terrible, and others; he was absolutely one of those pure evil characters that are rare in history.
"But you don't understand. Mao didn't know about the killings! Overall, he did more good than bad! His ideas were good, but things just didn't work out!" Nope, fuck all of those shithead apologetics.
the facts on Hitler are insurmountable and obvious
Insurmountable? Obvious? Like we haven't had decades of propaganda, misinformation, half-truths, and sometimes straight up lies being fed to us?
When did doubt, skepticism, and disbelief fall out of favor with the common man? When did it become fashionable to be a good little drone, to toil until you broke, being fed with syrup and dyes? Do you really think Hitler was a cartoon villain? Really? That one day, for no reason at all, he just decided that a whole demographic of people needed to die? No reason, just 'cuz?
Do you believe things because the talking heads in the box tell you they happened? Do you believe inflation isn't real because KJP says it isn't as bad as it feels?

Real people aren't one dimensional Overwatch characters.
It's one of the things that helped me connect the dots, to put the perfectly fitting puzzle pieces together. Before becoming red pilled on WW2, I already knew that the people in power lied to us, about everything, in the news, in media, in government, about our history (specifically about slavery and the civil war), but I still adamantly believed what I was told about WW2 history, for reasons I could never adequately explain. Then, through curiosity, I began to visit demonized free speech forums, where I was exposed to censored information and discussion, including everything surrounding WW2, and the world began to make a lot more sense.
Looking back, it's rather astounding how flimsy the current "conservative" normie right position is, about how contradictory my position was before. It posits the well supported position that the people in power are liars, that they have control of pretty much all aspects of society, and yet WW2 history is sacrosanct. The lesson is clear as day: don't trust liars. And yet, many on the right continue to trust liars on specific subjects. It's rather maddening. Fortunately, though, more and more are waking up.
