was hitler wrong if he truly believed what he was doing was for the good of the many?

Question

i'm sure this question brings most people to a definite answer
but ask yourself if your answer is truly your own or what youv'e been taught to feel
if it's just an answer without insight
isn't that the same witchhunt for wich we condem him for
it's just a thought
i won't say where i stand

Answer 1

Hitler was mentally ill. He did what he did out of LOYALTY to his people..so in his mind, he did what he did because he thought (in his own twisted mind,) that he was for his people..now, would that make him wrong? I ask you this: How many world leaders don't give a rat's *** about what their country men think of them? How many world leaders are self absorbed with themselves,.and the power they have over others? So to answer your question,..and this is a touchy one, He was evil in the things he did and went about it, but if he had been a sane man, and did things that were not immoral and did it for the people he truly felt were the 'best of the races'..then he wasn't wrong...but that being said, He was mentally ill, and the way he went about things, of course, were evil and of Satan...but what most people dont understand, is the the Lord is a forgiving Lord, and if Hitler didn't know the Lord, truly...He will be forgiven ...

Answer 2

I do not agree with the methods but yes, one has to admire the actuall good that German people earned and learned because of A. Hitler. I really do not like what the President of USA is doing now, but I do not dislike the man, in 50 years maybe some good will be seen of him.
Hitler was not really in charge as much as he thought he was, but the way he got that country to work after the Great Depression,even though it was very evil, it is to be acknowledged.
I dont like Presidents,Kings,Popes,Mullahs or whatever any calls a Leader. It is my opinion that a Ruleing Council of 9 should be elected every 2 years to run a country, tribe or area. 7,5 or 3 whereever population is lower, but 9 to run a big country. This way a Hitler type could never attain power again.

Answer 3

You really ask some of the most evil questions ever!

I have not been taught anything. Everyone except for maybe you was born with the feeling of compassion, love, empathy and just loving people, wanting the right things, wanting to do the same to others as you would like to be done to you. Maybe you would like not to be fed, be kept in a camp freezing to death by starving or freezing. How could ANYONE think this is right. Is this not something maybe HE WAS TAUGHT???

Look, just because Psycho Hitler THOUGHT he was doing what was right didn't mean it was. That was not the case either, the case was, he wanted the Germans to be the supreme race. He is condemned for the millions of killings he himself ordered... how many? Do you know? Look it up... MILLIONS!! All leaders do something because of what they believe or what they are taught. President Bush sent troops to Iraq because he believed there were weapons of mass destructions, were there? Ummm no! So, why are our troops still losing their lives there? For Oil?

The witchhunt was not against Hitler but against the Jews, Gays, Jehovah's Witnesses just to name a few. Not against Hitler! The witch hunt was againt anyone who did not believe the same way Hitler did. Hitler did this because he believed in the Aryan race, such as Natzis do. That they are the true and pure race, but come one, honestly there is NO PURE RACE! The only one without insight was Hitler. Blaming everything bad on the Jews.

Maybe you have not seen all the information on the Holocaust. Maybe you are one of those who don't believe it existed. If you do believe it existed them obviously there is NO JUSTIFICATION for it. The only one who was taught to feel anything was Hitler, he was taught to feel hate for everyone but his supposed Aryan race, which HE didn't even fit in the category!

I see your ID is "high" you must be to ask questions as absurd as these. Go back to your antisemitism and saving rapist and molestors that's a real winner!

There is no room for more evil in this word like you or your wierd thoughts. There is enough of that. I can see why you ask these questions under mental health and not world news or something else like history... you are mental.

Anyone can justify what they do, doesn't mean it's right. Killers can justify killing, but they go to jail and should be killed themselves ASAP for taking a life.

This is not my opinion... it's what I know.

Maybe you need more education before you ask questions like this.

Answer 4

Hello............. I think that nobody has the right to take another person's life, regardless of what they believe. When Hitler made his choices, he may have thought that it was for the greater good, the betterment of mankind his goal, yet when the world rebelled, the only way he found peace was to kill himself. This says to me that he knew what he was doing was wrong. He was a coward. If he truly believed that what he was doing was the right thing to do, he would have used every last minute to fight for what he believed in. I doubt that he would have made it to trial, but I know that he left a scar on mankind as a whole. To see him as a martyr is to live in a fool's paradise.

Answer 5

Manson also believed that he was doing what he was doing for good. The results are always the best judge for us. He destroyed his nation and the white race he was proud of. He actually did so much damage that swifted the balance of the world. In what racial theory fitted the alliance with the Japanese? But the worst about Hitler was the theoretical legacy he left (and torments us until now) which enables people like you even think about it.

Answer 6

By definition Hitler was a schizophrenic and absolutely believed that what he was doing was okay and even good. I think that he was wrong and that the things that he did should never have been done but in his own mind he was right so I just think that he was wrong but needed mental help that's all.

Answer 7

In his own mind he believed himself to be in the right. If you think back through history you will find that a lot of people who started wars and defended themselves from those same people, believed that they had 'God on their side'. Unfortunately this thinking is still prevalent today and so we continue to have conflicts in the name of a god. If you could come up with a way to resolve religious differences between all the peoples of this planet, then we may be able to have 'Peace on Earth'

Answer 8

But we are each faced with challenging our own ideas, beliefs, and assumptions. We must, for the betterment of our world. Just because we believe something does not make it right in any place, time, or world. Critical thinking builds our intellect and wisdom, and must be employed in order to challenge our own beliefs.

Hitler's ideals, when held up to the light of any widely-held philosophy or belief-system in the world, is morally abhorrent.

Just because he 'believed' in it does not make it right. Any person can believe any twisted thing, but that does not make it the truth, or right, in any shape or form.

Answer 9

He killed lots of people and that is wrong in itself regardless if he thought he was right! He tortured lots of innocent people including children...he was a maniac!

We have the right to condemn him...just ask his victims!
Trying to do what is best for the world does not involve killing lots of innocent people...but trying to help others where it is needed! Like...feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and housing the homeless. ~this sounds more productive then killing people!

Answer 10

some will cite Hitler's civil government ahead of the conflict and factor out this "success" or that "success". yet those "achievements" have been "achieved" on the cost of each loose corporation interior civil society and via the explotation of hard paintings and via deceit. however Hitler 'achieved" ahead of the conflict, that's gainsaid while seen in easy of the stunning, unfathomable and systematic genocide that he orchestrated.
