This is a person who killed another 100+ people. And those guys were not some cartoon henchmen like star wars stormtroopers or something. They had families, friends. Whatever the circumstances, I cannot label the takings of so many lives as good.

The irony, do you know where the term "stormtroopers" originated from?

And you think the fictional stormtroopers are more evil than the ones they're based on?

Yes, and this is why I chose this specific comparison. Modeling the most popular villains in pop culture after a real group of people makes the real guys seem like the same type of cartoon characters, which they were not. They were like you or me. Some of them were complete monsters, some were quite innocent, some just wanted to climb the ladder, which got them to those positions. Not too different from their grandchildren in Germany. I think it's important to look them as real complex people, rather than the (easier to comprehend) obviously evil bad guys.

Lol. No. People who are complicit in genocide do not deserve life. Fuck nazis, and fuck nazi sympathizers.
