I did not see King Leopold who killed 20 million blacks people in DRC chopping their hands
Where is MAO he killed abouthe 50million chinees and not mentiond here?
Why isn’t Leopold on this list?
Mhhhhmmmm
Where is leopop, bush, Obama?
WHERE IS KING LEOPARD OF BELGIUM 😡
Why king leopald is not in the list
To say Leopold II is their yet in the case of Genghis Kahn on the other hand fighting against the aristocrats and the rich stop the enslavement of women turn out to be a good fellow OK, now why some people praise Ernesto Che Guevara?
Now comparing Genghis Kahn with Che Guevara then some who are Che fans he is like the modern day Genghis Kahn in that kind of sense.
Mao Zedong is like top 3, stop pandering to China.
I am always amazed as to how such individuals are able to rise to such power. You would think the people they rule over would revolt at an early stage before the power reaches a point that the people could no longer prevail against extreme cruelty and dominance. I think one thing they have in common is that at the beginning, they make promises to the people and actually make good on some, so they gain the trust of the people. Then, their poisonous narcissistic ways surface and the seeds they planted during the “trust” years are used to further their totalitarian desires and secure their position. It has to start in this manner. Otherwise, it’s hard to imagine they could get as far they did if the people had an idea as to what they are in for. This of course doesn’t apply to the outside countries they invaded. I am talking about the original country where they 1st rose to power.
Where is George bush?
Where in Benjamin Netanyahu?
Where is Barack obama?
Where is modi?
Vlad 🇷🇴
Ay yo Dictators stand up!!!
All my Dictators be like aaaayyyyyyy
King Leopold II The Butcher of Congo. 10 million
not eat yet always sad
Where is Tony Blair and George Bush? Pretty biased for Americans and the west.
40 million by fire, arrow, and sword is insane
Good List, not many people know that Pol Pot is the Asian equivalent of Hitler. Maybe he didn’t kill as many as Hitler but he is definitely right up there behind Hitler.
Aurangazeb alamgir must be in this list
Vlad the Impaler wasn’t evil to his people and NO he didn’t eat bread with blood, however he did like to impale criminals and enemies.
Fun fact: he once impaled some rats for fun while being captive
Where is Churchill responsible for Bengal famine killing approx 3 million Bengalis
Iddi Amin?????? I believe his “atrocities” have been grossly exagerated since didnt cooperate with the British so they painted him with the most vile deeds…my opinion though.…Ooor you are just ticking the inclusion list lol
Don’t forget Oppenheimer, his neglect of morality led to all that died by nukes in history directly killed and indirectly killed.
