Okay, so how am I supposed to explain this as a somewhat normal sounding human. Look, I hate everyone. By everyone I mean humanity in general. Granted, I hate the idea of humanity dying is worse, but by in large I genuinely believe that all humans are capable of being beyond evil. So, when I say what I am saying, it's because I firmly believe that there's not enough hate in the world.
Allow me to explain. I firmly believe that most of the general population is not hateful enough to everyone, equally. As in, people pick a group to hate unreasonably instead of just everyone in general. Like, if you think there's a group that can be free from hate, you're likely a very calm and unreasonably trusting person.
Okay, wait, here's an example. Do you hate the British for slavery? Valid, but did you know about the Barbary slave trade (here's some more links btw: such as who was targeted, a place for a directory for autobiographies, a history collection article, and lastly a BBC post on the matter) or perhaps you'd like to learn about the Dahomey Tribe of West Africa (Have some links: Wonder's of the African world - slave kingdom, Black Histories article on the tribe, and a Wikipedia article on the tribe. Long story short, The Dahomey really liked slaves.
So, here's the thing. I am not saying that these groups of people were uniquely evil either, rather that to assume there is such a thing as a uniquely evil group is interesting. As in, it is somewhat rare that there is such a thing as unique evil. Scale wise, maybe, but actively unique ideas that our ansestors or humanity in general hasn't thought up before, is rare. And I really do mean this, I am certain that if you bring up any for of gross inhumane treatment done by one group I could likely find another group that also did it.
Now, that doesn't mean that it's okay, or that every group has done this. Case in point, I don't think that the Dahomey has sailed their slaves over the Atlantic or that the British had fully striped their slaves of all orginal culture (like, the only culture of that the Britsh have removed form the world that I could find was the Irish). So to assume any group is uniquely evil is confusing to me. Because for as long as humanity has exsisted, we have raped, stolen, enslaved, piliaged and done way way worse. And to a certain extent, it is fantastic that we are able to look back on the past of humanity and see it for it's horrible and bloodstained disgrace that it is because that means that we are able to change. But, it is stll frustating to just claim something is a uniquely evil concepts.
Not to mention, most of our modern day understanding of morality and ehtics is wildly different from both our history and places in other geographies. Like, say, in the grand majority of western countries the age of concent is 18, where I quite prefer it, but some other countries use the age of 12 or 16 or age of puberty. How are we supposed to hold all of the people to the same legal standards if our legal standards do not. Besides, we can't demand someone to be held up to modern day standards when said standards are wildly different that it used to be. So, we kinda get into a case of hindsight blinding us to context. Like now we can say, no shit we should kill baby Hitler, but would you be able to say that then?
As horrible as it was, most of humanity was serving under rather loose morality for a long time. So, trying to look at history through our modern day hindsight or our particular life context (such as culture or personal life story) kinda leaves us a bit blind to the original context. Such as, the NAZI party gained a lot of power thanks to coming out during an economic depression, use of force, being lead by a somewhat charismatic war vetern and using retoric that appealed to the people. Now, to assume that the only reason Hitler gained power was racism would be bluntly over simplification.
So, my belief is that it's because we're used to just having a binary view of things. Which is more or less just the concept of over simplifying problems to the point of removing context and understanding of the situation. The study of history is supposed to avoid bias, which is somewhat impossible as every human has a build in bias, it's why we have things like favourites or types, but like most scienes it's supposed to try to reduce the bias as humanily as phsyically possible.
So, TLDR, I am sick of people saying things in a surprisingly biased point of view and it's pissing me off. I also think people should work on the ability to hate everyone, equally.
