ive heard hitler was a nice man but a brutal ruler,would it be bad to say that?

Answer 1

I think there is some confusion about your use of nice and brutal in the same sentence. Perhaps you are trying to say that there are indications that he had a nice manner with people at times.

But he may very well have been psychotic, so you are looking at an imbalance in personality and temperament. I admire that you are trying to balance your opinion, but I recommend that you go to the History Channel and look at some films or videos and watch carefully the development of this subliminally motivated leadership and see how it consumed the perpetrators of it in the use of occultic and perverted/deviant measures to concentrate power through terror and torture.

Also, some have stated that he appears to have been a good leader. I have noted from watching historic films and further reading, that many Germans at that time may have been suffering from a malady called dimentia. There was a prevalent psychology regarding failures of their people to win WWI and economic depression, that may have led to a general malaise, mania and dimentia*. While Hitler stimulated their psychic energy to draw on his enigmatic personality, most people do not see this as leadership but a further tragic event for these people, as they lost their root sense of value and real principles in striving for a nationalistic sense of greatness. Fascism is a fascination with power. And absolute power corrupts absolutely.

*The term dimentia referred to here is a general malady where persons close down their mind to reasoning because they believe they do not have any options. Thus they begin to blindly accept the conclusions that those in power draw for them.

Actually, like all human beings, and no matter what we think of Hilter, he was a human being, and had the moral choice of GOOD and EVIL. It is not only possible that the same person can be say , nice to people in his social circle and in everyday life, and then go to the office and arrange agressive wars and genocide.
If you were to meet the man socially, then he would be good mannered, polite, civilized as having been brought up in the society and time he was and a pleasant man to be with. It was his occupation that was the bastard thing about him. He was in the business of slaughter and tyranny.
Hilter was brought up in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by European society. A society that had two faces. One, was the polite social world of the social graces and the belief in the cultural civilizations at the time. Two, the brutal world of class oppression and ruthless war. Although before Hilter there was honour in war, he dishonered it. For instance, in war you didn't deliberately kill civilians, despite the allied propoganda of the first world war.
It is not bad to say this. For one of the great tenents of our civilization is the freedom of expression and the pursuit of truth. It is our way to acknowlege things or people for what they are. This is one of the attributes which make our civilization-superior. Our way, the right way. And don't worry, Hilter has million in the bank of bastardry. A few pence withdrawn won't effect the account that much.
So yes, he had good points. Everyone does. And he had bad points. Everyone does. His bad points were just a lot bigger than most. But the greatest weapon we have against such is the truth. Continue to search for it, tell it and have enought moral courage to call a spade a spade. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Hitler a nice man??? he is responsible for the deaths of 6 million people! I hope he burns in the deepest pits of hell!

Answer 4

a nice man, no, but an outstanding leader, yes. A leader does not necessarily mean he was a good person or did the right thing, but look at how many people followed this man. This astounds me!

Answer 5

by all indications hitler was mostly asocial to those even within his inner circle. one of his favorites albert speer was even ridiculed by hitler, in addition his longtiem girlfriend and eventually his wife eva braun was at times nothing more thena mere distraction to him taht was often kept at arms lenght. there are soem rumors that eva had an affair with one of hitlers attaches

Answer 6

He was not a nice man... it all comes down to the fact that it was the man who ordered death and torture for so many people.

Answer 7

No one who committed genocide could possibly be nice. Maybe he was friendly to people to their face, but he wasn't a "nice" person, he was just evil.

Yes, it's wrong to say that he was nice.

Answer 8

How can someone be considered nice when they killed so many people?
