Regardless of how evil a person is, the old saying that everyone has a good side as well as a bad one rings true. Here is a list of examples of "Even Evil Has Standards" where commonly bad people or organisations do good things.
- The Ku Klux Klan denounced all actions of Fred Phelps, leader of the Westboro Baptist Church. This shows that even than the Ku Klux Klan, a group infamous for its racist hatemongering, thought that their actions were too hateful for even them.
- Another example regarding the Ku Klux Klan involves D.C Stephenson , whose actions were so evil that the Klan itself diminished greatly.
- Also, the Ku Klux Klan was supportive of the Prohibition movement.
- Street and motorcycle gangs such as Hell's Angels, often volunteer to protect funeral services/burials from being harrassed by the members of the Westboro Baptist Church.
- Fred Phelps, the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church was a Civil Rights lawyer during the 1950's and 1960's, and the Westboro Baptist Church is openly against racism and use of violence in their teachings.
- Certain groups like Al-Qaeda refuse to support ISIS, which they find too extreme for even their standards.
- In 2014, they expressed outrage with a Syrian extremist who had sliced off the right hand of a man who was busted for theft, and tweeting about it live. Al-Qaeda is also shunned when ISIS burned a Jordanian pilot alive.
- Many of Hitler's supporters were opposed to the Holocaust. Surprisingly, even Heinrich Himmler tried to talk him out of it at first.
- While the Nazi Party and Imperial Japanese had an alliance, some imperial Japanese officials had also helped save Jews from the Nazis during World War II.
- Likewise, some Nazis had helped save Chinese civilians from the Imperial Japanese during the same period.
- Francisco Franco was involved in rescuing Jews from the Nazis by giving them Spanish citizenship en masse. His actions led to the rescue of a minimum of 46,000 Jews.
- While the Nazi Party and Imperial Japanese had an alliance, some imperial Japanese officials had also helped save Jews from the Nazis during World War II.
- Alejandro Toledo as candidate for president of Peru, started an international campaign for extraditing Alberto Fujimori in 2001.
- President Alan García of Peru supported military actions against Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, the final year of his second non-consecutive term, as well as the same year that Gaddafi died. He also presided planetary commmitee anti-apartheid between 1986 and 1990.
- Criminals that were arrested for crimes against children are often brutalized, raped, and even killed by other inmates, who severely frown upon such despicable things. In one instance, a criminal was arrested for raping and killing a little girl named Katie. When the other inmates found out what he did, they entered his cell and painfully tattooed "Katie's Revenge" on his forehead.
- An inmate at Russia’s Black Dolphin Prison was interviewed for the documentary about Russian prisons when he was asked about his life as a mobster. He explains that adult men were the only targets that he was allowed to kill, because women and children were viewed as defenseless, therefore attacking them was against the rules.
- The Nazis refused to burn Paris when the Allies were approaching.
- Many Nazi officials refused to enforce Adolf Hitler's orders to destroy Germany during his latter years, considering it too extreme even for them.
- Malcolm X, despite his radical beliefs, was known to denounce some of the more volatile Black Supremacists following a change of heart, such as the Nation of Islam and was ironically assassinated by black supremacists for being soft.
- Richard Nixon was a kind family man, opened up relations with China, helped end segregation in the South, improved life for Native Americans and withdrew from Vietnam.
- Most law enforcers in Tudor Britian refused to enforce the stricter version of the Tudor Poor Laws that would make vagabonds slaves if convicted (with the death sentence for repeat offenders), though they still enforced whipping and exile.
- Those who were Able Bodied Poor were offered work at the pariah, and were paid for their service, while the government allowed parishes to give aid to "Helpless" poor, mainly the eldery and the disabled, while children were given apprenticeship paid while learning a trade.
- Many Angry Mobs would actively attack during British history as a response to certain wrongs, before the Angry Mob there was also Peasant Revolts.
- Many Black Supremacists do not support those who preach death to other races, prefering instead for racial segragation (this is a divide amongst Black Supremacists, some of which believe the fight against Whites should be with words and others who truly believe in violence).
- Nick Griffin, the leader of the BNP, has constantly claimed he does not support thugs that actively harm others - despite it being classed as a White Supremacist group, the modern BNP also has people of non-White ethnicity in it and claim to be "pro-British" - this has made the National Front label them as "soft".
- Adolf Hitler was kind and caring towards animals (including his dog Blondi, who he was very upset to have killed, but did so because he feared she would be tortured by the Russians if caught) and was also a vegetarian for ethical reasons. He outlawed vivisection on live animals and championed animal rights. Depsite his obsessive hatred for Jews, he actually gave preferential treatment to some of their race; One example of this was Emil Maurice, one of Hitler’s chauffeurs and a founding officer of the SS. Hitler had been friends with Maurice since 1919, but in 1935 S.S. Commander Heinrich Himmler pushed to expel Maurice and his family from the S.S. after he discovered that his great-grandfather was Jewish. S.S. members had to prove their family’s racial purity history back to at least 1750, but Hitler made an exception for his old friend (much to Himmler’s annoyance) and allowed him to stay. There are also two examples of Hitler protecting men who were considered Jews under Jewish law. Hitler’s commanding officer during WWI was Ernst Hess and although he was raised a Protestant his mother was Jewish. Deemed a ‘full-blooded Jew’, Hitler afforded Hess some concessions up until 1941, when he was sent to the concentration camp in Milbertshofen for hard labor. Although it’s not known to what extent Hitler personally saw to Hess’ protection before he was sent to the camp, the Fuhrer definitely intervened in the case of the Jewish doctor Eduard Bloch. Bloch had been Hitler’s physician when he was a young boy, and he attended to his mother when she was dying of breast cancer. As the Hitler family had little money to spare, Bloch had charged his treatment at a reduced rate, and even refused to take any money at all on some occasions. Hitler remembered this act of kindness for years to come and letters written to Bloch from 1937 reveal that Hitler referred to the doctor as an "Edeljude" (noble Jew). Bloch reached out to Hitler in 1938 when his medical practice was shut down, and he was consequently given special protection by the Gestapo. Bloch and his wife remained undisturbed until they were able to successfully complete an emigration request to the United States in 1940. Hitler even held correspondence with Mahatma Gandhi. Hitler also admired World War I soldiers, regardless of their ethnicity. He also (unexpectedly) halted the relentless onwards serge of the wermacht 30 miles form Dunkirk allowing the stuggling Allies to reach the beaches. He also posted troops at the Canadian Memorial at Vimy Ridge to keep anybody from messing with it.
- Hitler's chief ally, Benito Mussolini, appointed Jews to government jobs before he became more of a puppet as the war dragged on and accepted a sword from an Algerian leader, at least showing a facade of respect for local culture despite his wishes for a new Roman Empire. This, of course, makes some sense as the Roman Empire was culturally bigoted rather then racially bigoted. A black man even served as a General in the Italian Army, which was incredibly unique given the time period. The underlying reason though was that it to helped maintain an effective empire. Mussolini fought the Mafia to the point where in the 30's, the Italian Mafia was almost completely crushed with their members either executed, imprisoned, in hiding or having immigrated to America. After Mussolini restored order to a reeling Italy in the 1920s, Winston Churchill even praised him saying that Mussolini’s fascism ‘had rendered service to the whole world,’ while Il Duce himself was a "Roman genius.” When Mussolini invaded and conquered Ethiopia, he had put an end to slavery there. In the mid-1930's, slavery was still being practiced in Ethiopia, against the rules set out by the League of Nations and International Law. When Hitler began the extermination of the Jews, Mussolini turned Italian-occupied Europe into a safe haven for Jews, although anti-Jewish laws were in place, he refused to deport them to concentration camps. It got to the point where leading Nazis complained about his leniency with the Jews.
- The Ustaše, a Croatian fascist terrorist group led by Ante Pavelic, that killed the "undesirables" such as Serbs, Jews, and Roma (Gypsies) in such a horrible fashion, that even the Nazis didn't want anything to do with them.

- Joseph Stalin fought against the Nazi War Machine. He was absolutely devoted to his daughter Svetlana, whose homework he checked nightly - although things changed radically when she grew up. At one point, Svetlana played a game with her father where she pretended she was the dictator of Russia. It appears that Stalin enjoyed playing with her as he and and the whole Politburo pretended to obey her orders. Stalin also had IIya Ivanovich Ivanov arrested for attempting to create a hybrid of a human and ape. Ivanov tried to inject human sperm into non-human apes, then tried injecting non-human ape sperm into female human volunteers. Both experiments ended in failure.

- Joseph Goebbels once demanded that Adolf Hitler be expelled from the Nazi Party.
- This happened many years before Hitler's rise to power, when Goebbels was far more concerned with opposing capitalism than people of Jewish descent. Repeatedly urging the socialists and Nazis to unite against the capitalists, he was horrified by Hitler's antagonization of socialism as a "Jewish creation" and his assertion that the Soviet Union should be destroyed. At the time, Hitler was still jailed and had finished work on Mein Kampf. Goebbels demanded that the jailed Hitler "be expelled from the Nazi Party". However, after his release, Hitler granted Goebbels a private audience, offering to overlook Goebbels's previous support for socialism if he would accept Hitler's leadership. From this point on, Goebbels was completely loyal to Hitler.
- Akhenaten seemed to genuinely love his family. He also preferred it when people where depicted realistically in art, rather than idealized.
