    He was a force for evil in this world.

    Have empathy instead for the victims of the policies he advocated.

      Have empathy instead

      It might be surprising, but it’s not a limited resource that needs to be spend sparcely. You do not need to make the world worse for those in an other tribe in order to make it better for your own tribe. That false dichotomy - which you and him probably share - is the root of a lot of evil in this world.

        People’s empathy absolutely can get exhausted.

        That’s why, for example, I am pissed about the situation in Gaza but I am capable of going to work instead of spending every day sobbing on my couch.

        It’s not surprising at all to see the people who spent an entire year advocating for genocide also having empathy for a dead nazi.
