Similarly, just leave the old-timey American south alone. Don't try to bring your desegregationist or abolitionist values and way of life to the American south, or your anti-apartheid values to South Africa, or your anti-genocide values to Nazi Germany.

Germany declared war on pretty much all of the neighbouring countries and some non-neighbouring ones. But the argument probably holds for the South. Over a million people died gruesome deaths in the war. It is unlikely that they prevented an even larger evil.

We will see about South Africa. It is on a fast track to a failed state status currently. They went from surplus energy production to blackouts. Same with food while the farmers are being systematically pushed out or murdered.
