It’s also worth mentioning that every historical villain has redeeming qualities. In fiction, there are villains that are so evil that cannot be redeemed, and their punishments are worth it. But in reality, nobody can go that far. Examples:

- Hitler has committed one of the worst crimes against humanity, but he is against animal cruelty. He even passed laws against it. He is also against communism, which has always been a failure, as it killed more people than almost every disease has. And if the horror stories in Soviet Union, Cuba, and Cambodia aren’t enough, you should look at how bad Venezuela is.
- Before Osama Bin Laden was a villain, he was a hero. He lead a resistance group that fought against the Soviet Union, which was trying to take over Afghanistan.
- The Ku Klux Klan may be a hate group that still haunts America up to this day, but even they won’t tolerate the Westboro Baptist Church and their acts of hatred.
- Genghis Khan was a ruthless killer that killed many people and conquered most of Asia, but he fought for the freedom of religion, and under his rule, the Mongols didn’t live under oppression.

Yep! That's why I said all aspects are interchangeable. Hitler was also really good with children, and some say it was mostly Heinrich Himmler that was at fault for the most atrocious things such as the concentration camps. It's those things that make me feel that what should decided as a villian should be your decision.
 
Tbh I'm not a fan of the autumn theme on this forum, but I think that it looks really good when the night sky is up in the banner! Does anyone agree?
 
So people say that electric cars are better for the environment than gas-powered cars because they cause less pollution. Actually, they are worse for the environment. Charging electric cars use enough power to emit much more carbon dioxide than gas-powered cars. Unless if you’re using solar power or wind power, but they aren’t any better than fossil fuels either. Windmills are a threat to birds, and solar panels can produce even more toxic waste than nuclear power.

Even when it comes to environmental issues, practicality wins. But practicality will eventually rule in favor of renewable resources over non-renewable resources as we can’t use the same stuff forever.

Yea all the materials and rare earth minerals used to make computer, screens, and electric batteries also pollute the environment.

But yes, this information is correct.
