I'd disagree that Hitler was pure evil, actually. The man did love his dog. He did many despicable things, but he was still human.

Yes. A human being, who was evil.

Evil, maybe, but "pure" evil? Ehh...how can we honestly decide if someone is "pure" evil or "pure" good?

It's ridiculously easy to get people to spout views that sound a lot like his, though. There's been people on FS who've said they think it'd be acceptable to sterilize entire groups and kill off others. It's rationalized as, "they're stupid," "they do all these bad things," "they're hateful and we'd be better off without them." It's out group, in group stuff, and a lot of times, even though people will see how it's wrong when someone's talking about a group that they like or that they don't think deserves poor treatment, they won't see how it's wrong when it's about a group they don't like or think deserves poor treatment. They're blinded by the fact they think they're fundamentally good people and they think they're rational.

That's why breaking the world down into simple categories like good and evil isn't a wise thing to do. It gives people the change to see themselves as good even when they're doing terrible things.

NAYRT

That's one view. I'd say people who want to sterilize all people of any group are evil, though.

I wouldn't say they should be sterilized for it. Just that they're evil and can fuck off.

I have to wonder where you draw the line, and if you are okay with other people drawing the line in other places. Because at some point, it's not functional to say "everyone who does X is evil and therefore can fuck off" because there won't be anybody left.

Being human doesn't stop someone being evil. I'm not sure a non-human can in fact be evil, it wouldn't make any sense.

It's an open question, but some would certainly argue a sentient rational non-human being could be evil.

Well true, but they're hypothetical (so far - we don't know if whales etc count, certainly can't understand or communicate with them if they do).

A tiger isn't evil, though, and neither is someone suffering a psychotic break (as you suggest with "rational"). Hitler's another matter.

Sure sure.

But I'd like to repeat that it is very much an open question.

What does a person have to do to be considered "evil"? Who gets to decide if someone is evil or not?
