This makes fairly good sense as Hitler is normally considered to be the archetype of evil in the modern world. However what i find fairly strange is that Carla and Ra mention that Hitler wasn't successful in polarizing towards the negative. How on Earth can someone as negative as Hitler not reach the threshold of 95% service to self?
You have to understand that most of the direct killing that went on was done by subordinates, not by Hitler himself. Power over others isn't measured just in terms of how broad your influence was, but also in terms of the relative intensity of each encounter (i.e. one could polarize to harvestable grades of negativity in a relatively small social circle, because intensity of negativity is completely relative).
Directly controlling someone unto the point of death, versus say the act of telling someone else to control someone are fundamentally different. Say I tell you to kill someone. Do you do it? Or do you wrestle with the moral conundrum of the act? Do you see how the actual polarizing act is mostly just passed off to the person who actually has to decide whether to take a life or not? Also, another factor in the purity of negative polarization is a component we cannot see at all (what does a given individual WANT). What happened in the holocaust might not have been what Hitler even remotely wanted, and if that was the case, his attempt to control other self was largely a failure, which would essentially just depolarize a negative being.
So frankly, the fact that Hitler wasn't harvestable grade negative doesn't even surprise me. Many seemingly negative beings are not consciously negative, they are just really really confused, continuing to unconsciously replicate the 'chain of pain' that occurred in their youth.
