    Horray, we are the point of “actually, a lot of people were as bad as Hitler”.

    No, you dickwads. The man murdered 11 million people in 12 years outside of combat action, most of them within the last 5 years of his terror. Thats not counting any of the victims of the war itself: You know, 900.00 People starving in Leningrad alone and so forth. Thats why he is vilified.

    Dont know why this reflex to downplay his atrocities is always there.

    Oh and i have plenty of hate for the other fucks on that list. And Stalin. And Mao. And Pol Pot. And Idi Amin. And Netanyahu. And Kissinger. Because some people actually managed to dislike genocide as a concept and not just when it hits the people who look like them.

      Churchill caused the deaths of 6 million Indians at a conservative estimate

      Leopold killed 20 million in the Congo. That’s pretty equivalent numbers
