    I am very accostumed to that childish knee-jerk mentality. For example, when it comes to the Brittish empire, there is positive effects to be accounted for, but the image of that empire is so rosy and white washed.
    I suspect that Brits are looking at the US now and thinking "damn, that used to be us". And it's a lot easier to see everything in rosy tones when it's the past you're talking about and the effects aren't visible on a daily basis.

    Indeed, thats a mitigating factor, nostalgia like that breeds ignorance. But when you are directly faced with the obvious facts of the centuries long fucked up shit your ancestors did, and still ignore as a minor thing or half assed acknowledge ("oooh it wasnt so bad, what about all those acheivements..."), then thats something else really. Desperately trying to semi-justify massmurders and such with saying "we brought them alot of good" is really fucked up either way.

    But atleast brits arent remotely close to the Japanese (or italians relation to faschist past), who completely and utterly collective brainwashed themselves in the fucked up horrors they are guilty of (they dont even have the excuse of being centuries ago and hard to relate to today), they frigging upstaged the nazis with some of that shit. But ask one of what happend in Nanking, and you will be in utter disbelief the response you will get...

    Heck yes, the Japanese may like to revel in their isolationism, but all through East Asia there is a lot of bad blood for nothing so much as an admission of any wrong doing in that period.

    Btw, I call this tribalism.

    Stalin and Mao both killed in their respective nations. There is no other picture as far as I'm concerned. No economic rise can justify the deaths of millions of people.
    Well, Pol Pot did the same, did he not?
    Very few positive things outweigh killing 70 million people. I mean, you'd have to do a damn good thing to make people forget that you killed 70 million human beings.
    I'm sorry, but I killed myself then felt a funeral in my brain.

    You're always waiting to step in with a tangential comment, aren't you? Noone said European countries should be admired for their history, that was Salman's idea. So stop poking the strawman with needles.
    Back off Charlie.

    I don't care for any of those leaders, European or not. I was just reminding Seven that there was just as much evil in their history as the history of many modern European nations, which shouldn't be overlooked.

    What is wrong with you? Why do you have to bring that up? How is that relevant? This thread is about the worst killers in the history of the world, and you have to "remind" us that European history is violent? For that matter, several of the people on the list *are* European. What on earth are you after?

    I still object about the numbers being wrong. There is absolutely no way Stalin to be placed above Hitler so i have to conclude that the point of the guy who made this list was to show that communism is worse than religion and
    nazism !

    I'm semi-serious :D

    Is it just me or is Ze making no sense whatsoever in this thead?
    Its not just you, he is being the perfect example of the knee jerk argumenting I was referring to (Salman is way worse though :D).

    I mean Stalin and Hitler are big fucking boogeymen to even the monsters on that list and European. But somehow Ze deems it necessary to totally pointlessly and irrevelanty out of the blue, remind Seven that Europeans did this or that, just because its Mao who was mentionned. I mean, seriously Ze, in a list with Hitler and Stalin topping it, you really think Europeans are being overlooked? WTF are you on about really?

    There must be an ulterior motive, because you really cant be that clueless to deem it necessary to remind others here of the violent evils of Europeans when its painstakingly clear which figures the topic is about, and the continent the top worst ones are from...
