I disagree, simply because I can’t think of a leader (more specifically any American one) who had such a following of “like minded believers” (whether or not they are naturally like-minded).
And excluding moral, good VS bad, etc…in the context of him setting “goals” and achieving however many he accomplished, I’m sure he has been more successful in that sense. And only in that sense.
I do not support what he did, but if there were a presidential candidate who were positive/constructive version of him with equal prowess and ingenuity in what they believe in I don’t think we’d be complaining (as Americans).
And just to throw an example out here, they would torture prisoners in order to gain medical knowledge, most of that knowledge is still used today.
Finding good in the inherently bad isn’t that strange of a concept. I had a New Patient Checkup this morning, I didn’t scorn my new doctor for using practices coined by the Nazi’s.
Anyhow I didn’t mean to go way off-topic, I just don’t see how everyone is being so angry just because of a single name. He no longer effects us as an individual and I’m sure those who were effected by him have made personal leaps and bounds in their lives to fulfill their lives.
Regardless of who it’s quoting, the quote holds true to the extent that it isn’t impossible to take positivity away from it. And that people may be getting upset/angry when they could be gaining a wealth of growth instead.
