We do.

Joseph is equating the Dark One with Hitler, Nazi Germany, and simply the evilest things in relation to our world.

What he doesn't understand is that things don't work the way he thinks they do. There is no complexity in Once. The Dark One isn't some political entity that goes on a reign of terror. It isn't some entity that seeks to subjugate and destroy people in their entirety. THe Darkness itself is shown to be a realm destroying enity and there is no reason that anyone should think otherwise.

There is no will passed one.

There is no honor in being the Dark One.

And most of all, there is a clear misunderstanding of characters. Rumple isn't like Hitler or any evil person in our world. He is simply a coward that makes deals that he may benefit from in order to get his son, his things, regardless of the cost others pay.

Plus, he overvalues the Frozen characters. They are over and done with. Several people have bested the Dark One and he never subjugated anyone. Cora bested him and he was totally befuddled when he lost that contract. He isn't the devil, he is just a coward that seeks to bully others in order to get what he wants and to fulfill things in his fatalistic mind.
