“You know, when I think about it… I guess there’s some good things this tyrant did. He’s still a tyrant, but there are some good things he took credit for that he did.”
Ok, you grasp the concept of shades of gray. That’s a good start,but do you understand how the proportion of each shade matters?
If a person helps out an old lady with correct directions towards the city center, only to grab her purse and run when they finish can we say “they’ve done some good things”? Should the helpful directions even have any weight in our judgement of them?
If a person grows Tesla and SpaceX only to get enough power to steal from and turn several countries towards fascism, do the good things even matter, considering their actual end goal?

Yes the good things matter, unless we’re back to all black?
So it’s all white is what you’re saying? If not, how much do you perceive is white and how much black in this grey area?
