Hitler as the face of evil : Comments

By Mamtimin Ala, published 21/6/2024

When Hannah Arendt observed Adolf Eichmann at a trial in Jerusalem in 1963, she was aghast at witnessing an average German individual, a bureaucrat, appearing so ordinary and speaking so persistently to defend his position.

History lies at the core of every conflict.
And as we know it is usually written by the victors.
At the Nuremberg Trials the doers of evil were put on
trial while the equally evil doers the Soviets sat in
judgement.

Adolf Hitler had a death kill count of 17M deaths.
Joseph Stalin had a kill count of 23M deaths.

And history is full of many more evil doers. Ranging from
Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Mao Zedong, Slobodan Milosevic,
to currently - Vladimir Putin, to name just a few.

Let us stop allowing evil dictators to take office no
matter how "charming" they may appear. And if we do have
someone evil in office surely we can find better ways to
get them out than murder, war, or by aggression?

We've got a former US president running for office again.
An unstable man - with a deplorable record. Whose time
in office may end democracy as we know it. Will he be given
an opportunity to wreck havoc?

Time will tell whether we have learned anything from the
past.

Hitler as the face of evil; that would be the face of evil in a modern sense, however, when the evil achievements of the Nazi regime en total are viewed in a human historical context, then he was a standard run of the mill personality with above ordinary ability to organise a defeated Nation into a powerhouse of productivity, made the more difficult by evil intent on the side of the victorious Allies. What creates evil is the surround sound system of plunder!
It stands as a stark example to copy for the opportunist.

The problem with genocide is that it works effectively to solve otherwise unsolvable problems. Take for example the current state Israel finds itself in now, surrounded on all sides by a ruthless enemy much loved by influential elements of the West wishing Israels elimination.
The same environment which was facing Hitler before his infamous rise to power, presenting him now as the notorious “Hitler”.

Is it a case of “what goes around comes around”. There is endless potential for the rise of many more Hitlers; don’t give up yet!

We only have to look at Israel's current government
and the war crimes that it's committing. The abused
have become the abusers. The tragedy of the Palestinians
is also the tragedy of the Jews. Israel will destroy itself.

Look at Putin and what he's getting away with. Then look
at the US. What will happen if Trump gets elected?
How will things change not only in the US but for its allies,
including us in Australia?

Imagine a world without war.
What would it be like?
Without war and conflict to whittle away at the population, it is likely that that would surge.
We would quickly become overcrowded?
One upside of war and conflict is that it helps to limit population growth.
So unrest throughout society provides a discernable benefit?
As has rightly been said; 'tis an ill wind which blows no good'.
