some mongol people to this day.

People tend to ignore their ancestor's warcrimes. Even if they admit they were evil they can't bring themselves to hate them.

This applies to most old empires, many people can't bring themselves to hate the entire empire despite their barbarity.

People should absolutely cultivate a balanced and accurate understanding of the past. I don't think anyone should cultivate hate.
