Wait, were you not being sarcastic with your comment? No one takes the justifications of history’s monsters as fact. Like, I get Christopher Columbus thought he was an explorer who discovered things. It doesn’t change the fact he murdered people and found things that were already discovered. I’m sure most of the people who committed atrocities in history have cute alternative names they would prefer were used to cover up what they did. We separate the historical fiction that historical figures would impose on us from the historical facts of what they actually did.
