Your point with the “great” things is so true. All the “great” people of history that get remembered for a really long time are mostly some despots / royalty / tyrants that have done TERRIBLE things. Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Hannibal etc. and we now treat them like some super geniuses that built great empires. Some of them are even ‘worshipped’ in pop culture. Oh and yeah they killed a bunch of people but eh… price of being a great man I guess.

I wonder if Hitler will ever be talked about like this.
