Bin Laden has to be up there for convincing his followers to kill themselves for his cause.

Old thread, but Pot all the way as he ''cleansed'' Cambodia of some 20+% of it's population.


*''Honorable'' Mention-
Patrick Purdy

[clip]

On the morning of 17 January 1989, an anonymous person phoned the Stockton Police Department and warned of a death threat against Cleveland Elementary School. At noon that day, Patrick Purdy, a disturbed drifter and former Stockton resident, began his attack by setting his Chevrolet van alight after parking it behind the school. He then moved to the school playground and began firing with an AK-47 from behind a portable building. Purdy fired more than 100 rounds in three minutes killing five children and wounding thirty others including one teacher.

Re: This is really sad ...

No option for Mao Ze-Dong? He's inarguably the biggest mass murderer in history. During his 31 year reign around 70 million Chinese, Tibetans, Mongolians, Manchu, Koreans, and other nationalities were killed by his policies. That's roughly twice as many people killed by the second-place holder: Joseph Stalin.

Surprisingly thats my pick too. He is so devilishly nonchalant about everything.

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that no-one mentioned Mao untill the third page of this thread and he killed 70 million people almost 10x the number that Hitler did.

osama bin laden? really guys?

Come on, Hitler was so bad that his family changed their family name. His direct male decendants actually had themselves sterilized as to not carry on the family seed (for fear that it was a genetic defect that lead to his behavior). Nobody else on the list can make such claims that I know of. Hitler is evil incarnate & the very embodiment of it in modern history.

When people want to make a non sequitur slam on someone......who do they turn to? HITLER! 'nuff said!

 

[squallumz]

true story. we had a family friend who was a godson of hitler. i saw pictures and everything! the guy was in the fucking hitler youth.

amazing!

As with most other toplists, there is no conclusive answer to this (though the thread starter already knows this.. but many others here don't seem to). Imagine for a moment that some of the mentioned serial killers would have gained dictatorship of a country along with all the power and army resources that goes with it. He would very quickly get into the really large scale systematic murder (millions of people). Just because they didn't happen to have the possibility for that doesn't really make them any less worse than those that did have power, backing and circumstances to enable going through with it.

Furthermore, give any "good" person too much power and he will tend towards atrocities. The line between a normal "good guy" and the worst kind of shit-eating, ebola-spewing rapacious motherfucking bastard has started to look somewhat thin to me after observing the human nature for a time. Most people have the capacity and willingness to torture, rape and kill given the opportunity, correct circumstances and enough time for them to develop a callous attitude. What's more important, most people have the cowardice, spinelessness and apathy to just let things spiral out of control without doing anything about it.

"When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."
-Edmund Burke (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville as well)

Though perhaps the most important aspects allowing for large scale atrocities is that people bullshit themselves into thinking that they're actually not doing anything wrong. They buy into any kind of dogma, superstition or a word from an "authority" that "makes it all right" and extremely violently resist any sort of opinion to the contrary, mentally and physically. Individual dictators wouldn't have become as bad as they have if they wouldn't have had the power base to do it.

Sorry fellas - I don't think there is any validity in comparing "who was worst".

In a way, Stalin was right - "The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of a million is a statistic".

How do we define which is "worse" ?

Is a rapist worse than a murderer? Or are they both equally bad?

Roughneck wrote words of wisdom. No wonder.. unlike the vast majority of people here, he has actually experienced war and apparently many of the worst kinds of things that go with it. I certainly haven't.. and I hope that I never will.

^ so to sum that post up, the answer to this question might be Automate.

My first thought was Hitler but that is only because I probably know more about what he did on the surface than anyone else on the list. I think I have to do some research before making a selection here.
