Hitler was a megalomaniac, narcissist, racist, and drug addict. All of that and more, caused his “evil” actions. But in this, I’m using a different meaning of evil. As in, a descriptions of actions that are actively, obviously, grossly against peoples well being and societies best interest. That evil.
I’m not using it as a diagnosis for a person, as though it’s an explanation of their behavior.
The question you’re asking is still a 3rd use of “evil”. As indicating condemnation of a person and their actions. Which of course I do.
Do you think Hitler was evil?
