Yeah, but you have the luxury of judging the actions of people who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago from the comfort of your living-room recliner.
According to your extremist logic, the following were all pretty much Hitler as well:
- Mayans
- Egyptians
- Chinese
- Mongols
- Romans
- Macedonians
- Persians
- Russians
- Omayyad Caliphate
- Ottoman Empire/Turkey
- All african tribes who sold their brethren into slavery
- French
- British
- Portuguese
- Spanish
- Dutch
- Germans
Pretty much any civilization that has ever existed has committed atrocities.
What they did was brutal and there's no excusing this, but they also did good. You can deny it all you want but this is a fact.

They have the luxury of my judgements having absolutely no impact on them. As their good acts do not compensate for the atrocities, we should be ashamed of what they've done, and try not to do the same in the future. Remembering the good without keeping that in mind leads to the same tragedies playing out again.
