Who Is Actually "As Bad As Hitler" Or Worse?

[Dino Velvet]

People enjoy using Hitler's name when describing someone they dislike. The Hitler Brand has been watered down from excessive use. But, who in history is actually worse than Hitler? Body Count isn't the only criteria here as truly evil intent goes a long way too.

How 'bout Genghis Khan?

Wow, this is a weird photo. Here's The Duke John Wayne playing Genghis Khan in The Conqueror.


"Howdy Pilgrim, who's in charge of this cow pasture?
Tell him Temujin, the Conqueror is here to see him."

Marlon Brando almost got the part. Now he would have made an awesome Khan.

How about Caligula? He said he wished the romans had one throat so he could cut it. He banged most of his sisters, possibly his uncle, made a horse a senator, declared war on the Pacific Ocean, and was generally all-around bat-shit bonkers.

Stalin was also worse than Hitler. Lots of messed up stuff over time that is not taught to many children.

What abou Mao? He's responsible for the most deaths in history.

John Kyl is as bad as Hitler (Not intended to be a factual statement).

In terms of sheer numbers of human beings killed, I can't imagine anyone surpassing Hitler and Stalin. Those two have to be the worst murderers of all time. They got like 13 million civilian deaths between the two of them.

That's not counting soldiers. In the Battle of Stalingrad, more than one million German soldiers were killed. and the one's taken prisoner were never heard from again

Julius Caesar wiped out a large part of the population of Gaul but life was very hard and short for most people at that time.Attila the Hun caused untold death and destruction to many races.

Caligula didn't kill people anywhere close to the scale of Hitler. Also, he made his favorite horse a consul not a senator, and he supposedly slept with his favorite sister, not "most" of them. He was still batshit bonkers, but let's not blacken his reputation unduly.

I'd say Chairman Mao was the worst mass murderer whose atrocities can be reliably gauged. Stalin is a close second, and Hitler, for all his name is bandied about, a distant third.

God. He wiped out every single human on Earth except for Noah and his immediate family.

... And now watches over us as we finish off the non-believers allowing the earth to absorb the gelatin from their corpses as our leaders sit atop a throne of their skulls. God did this. High five, Almighty Father from Heaven!

I wish it were that easy.
