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.
Skepticism is fine, but why are you trying to rehabilitate Hitler's public image or deny what the Nazis did from the burning of the Reichstag to the capture of Berlin?
You're making his point. You're question is loaded. "Why try to rehabilitate his image" implies he is horrible to begin with and doesn't even attempt to ponder if he was actually as bad as we've been taught. You ask as if it's a foregone conclusion. We're not even sure what happened with the Hawaii fires and that was just 2 weeks ago with smart phones and internet etc. But we're supposed to just accept whatever we're fed about the Holocaust?
