There's no such thing as pure evil, but I see no reason treating them like as if they aren't. Those who support settler-colonialism, are the scum of the earth; each and every one deserves to be seen as effectively no different from Hitler (who himself also was not pure evil). IMO there are some acts, genocide and colonialism chief amongst them- which sever the perpetrator's being from the rest of humanity- not indefinitely, but by continuous choice, on their part, to do so.

Exactly where I sit. For me and where my struggle against settlerdom is concerned, it's essentialist and frankly wrong to call every single white person ever the devil, incapable of empathy and unworthy of love; but it's perfectly level to accuse the neocolonial of such. 'Caucasian' isn't a choice, but 'Cracker' is-- to bring it back to the topic point, much like their older brother settlers regarding the state of Israel and its relation to Amerika, being born Jewish isn't exactly a choice, but becoming a Zionist is.
Embracing settlerdom is a choice; a vile and evil one that I see no reason to not label such. If anything, you're gentler than me-- I see no path to rehabilitation or reparation for the genocidal; and this encompasses the neocolonial settler as far as I care to see it.
