Was Hitler objectively bad?

[Zen Badger]

He's responsible for the Volkswagen so he can't be bad.

What?

That's the most evil thing he ever did!!!

Hey I just got back from South Carolina and the rental car company gave me a Jetta. Very nice little car.

Although every time I went to reach for the gear shift I had an overwhelming tendency to want to salute.

Was Hitler bad? I have heard some people say they dont believe anything is good or bad (objectively) that morality is just as if someone's favourite food is pizza, another is chocolate...

Although I completely disagree and I do believe Hitler was a bad man, a very bad man, infact I would call him evil...

Anyways was Hitler a bad man?

No, he was not a bad man.... but then it has never taken much to be a man. Unless you are a "transexual" man... then it's quite difficult to be seen as a man. Though that depends somewhat on where one lives.

Anyway, If I hold his level as 'bad', then what do I call those worse than him? As I see it: He was a misguided man, many men are misguided, but since when was a person 'bad' for being misguided? He was a man of principles, and he followed them very well. Your question, I find, is not wether Hitler was bad: it is wether his principles were bad. I think this same thing could be said of many people typically called 'bad'. And of the people declared 'good', a similar thing can be said.

Morality is relative, and according to the consensus, Hitler would be a very bad dude. Maybe in a thousand years, he will be looked as a hero. Look at Genghis Khan, he terrorized Europe, but today, he is quite revered. Similarly, slavery was a desirable thing. The Greeks had slaves, so did the Romans and the Western world had them until the 19th century. But now that's considered evil. Morality is a work in progress.

Although I agree with your assessment of both Obama and Chuirchill, I think it's drawing a fairly long bow to compare them with Hitler

I don't. The trio are all crazies supported by socialist twits. As far as this bogus 'moral' analysis goes, I do not care about people's imaginary constructions. 'Evilness' is a not a real quality.

I don't mean to be unkind, but why would I want to read your blog after that analogy?

Anyone who can't see the symmetry between them (other than the fact that Hitler, unlike Obama, was a good public speaker) is not someone I want to have as a reader. I do not cast pearls to swine.

What retarded reasons might they be? Do you perhaps mean the abolition of democracy in Germany

There's one example, democracy is retarded.

political murders

Politics is murder. Well, murder and robbery. Not that I'm judging, mind you.

The Nuremberg Race Laws

Which openly copied Progressivist measures?
Anyways, yes, everyone hates Nazis because they were anti-democratic, inegalitarian, didn't like jews, blah, blah, blah. The problem with Nazis, from the standpoint of economic and civil order, is that they were socialists and people obeyed the government. I could care less whether or not they liked gypsies, without the stupidity and herdishness of the German people (as with the Americans under FDR) they would have been more soap-boxing dolts.

It's clearly just Progressive mythologizing, OH GOD FDR SAVED THE WORLD FROM SATAN (wrong, the Nazis never could have conquered the world) AND GAVE US SWEET DEMOCRACY (unfortunately true). I don't give a shit about stuff that happened over half a century ago to people I've never met, except for their entertainment value, and Nazis are definitely the coolest of that pack. I also like Genghis Khan and root for Melkor in Lord of the Rings. You know why? Because they weren't Progressive pussies and milk-sop democrat idiots. At least their crazy involved cool outfits. The only people who don't get this are religious fanatics, like social democrats.

But then again, what would have happened if, early on, he had been assassinated, and somebody actually competent managed to take over?

The world could quite possibly have been a better place. The basic idea of a single world governmnet is a good one, but Hitler decided to kill millions of people for some reason.

[Minimalist]

The Allies killed millions to stop him, as well.

Obviously, "killing" is not an example of an "objectively bad" behavior. As with everything it depends on who is getting killed and who is doing the killing.
