Only appears to be harmful? Who decides whether one's pain is an illusion? And it's not "restorative justice" if too many people are going to be ultimately punished at the end.

I may not understand why Hitler did exactly what he did, but that doesn't mean I don't have good reasons to judge that he did a lot of wrong, and doesn't change the fact that someone like him invokes a feeling of revolt and disgust at him due to what I deem unethical acts against others.

In themselves pain and pleasure serve poorly a moral guides and even then require a higher principle to distinguish between good and bad pleasures and good and bad pain. Other than that your only argument is your incredulity.
