    Who was the most evil person?

    Something I have been digging into for quite a few years is the nature of evil but it did lead me to a question. Who is the most evil person in history and more importantly why?

    I am sure Hitler, Stalin, Columbus, Mao Zedong and Gangis Khan can easily be argued but I am specifically curious to hear 'why' and I think it could make for an interesting discussion into the nature of evil.

    Re: Who was the most evil person?

    I'm afraid we have to answer the question "what is evil" first to answer this one... but that's what you want to know in the first place lol. If we rule out religious dogmas, evil would be... the act of intentionally causing harm of any kind to other human beings, or to cause harm in a way that is not intentional but that can be reasonably expected to be detected as harmful? I'm pretty sure you can light this definition on fire, but anyway.

    Re: Who was the most evil person?

    My take..
    Humans are social creatures. That means relying on cooperation to survive and thrive. Our subconscious minds might be constantly on the lookout for groups to fit, as well as judge every individual on their value with regards to being in a group with them.

    I think "evil" is just a human way of expressing someone who feels repulsive with regards the aforementioned value. Someone who has a waaaaaaay negative value.

    Does this make any sense?

    My Vote Is Stalin... He Was Simply The Worst & Was Responsible For More Deaths Then Hitler During His Reign.. Also Some Stuff About Columbus Is Simply Made Up... About Hitler Some Historical "Facts" Are Simply Lies..

    See I dunno if it’s just about kill count I mean I feel like it’s much more evil if you know what you’re doing is wrong and do it anyway. So it’s difficult to rank the people mentioned because we don’t really know what was going on in their heads. Some of them may have been so delusional as to believe what they were doing was right.

    This reminds me of Jordan Peterson's analysis of Hitler.
    You see, post WW1 it was difficult times and no wonder that people were consciously or subconsciously looking for something to blame.
    Peterson believes that Hitler's subconscious mind picked up on the increased reactions when even hinting on blaming Jews. Over time, this made Hitler dive stronger and deeper into until he's resolve was unyielding for his cause was just.

    There's this YouTuber who claims that in the old times - going to war was looked at as something fun. With deaths so common and lives so boring, a different perspective on wars appears.

    I'm not sure if judging people of the past by today's standards is fair when we call conquerers evil.

    I do not know what Peterson said, but Hitler was evil right from the start. You don’t just become a serial killer. You either are one or aren’t. Maybe he shifted from someone who just generally didn’t give a fuck into someone who actually wanted to hurt people over time, but he was always an amoral little bitch.

    Precisely, the same thing could be said about Chairman Mao.

    Now, some people here are mentioning that he was an evil person.

    I view Chairman as the one who replaced the existing barren land into a strong foundation who was then used by Deng to construct the country and become strong as what it is today.

    Now, some people here are going to argue about the great firewall, the social credit system, or the advanced deep learning AI for surveillance. I'm going to ask you a question. How the fuck can you govern and secure your country with over 1.4 billion pop?

    US and China are almost the same in terms of land size. But China is like errr. Imagine Canada. Like Canada, which had most of its population living in the south. The same thing can be said in China where most people live on the eastern side. and the US, whose pop is around 330m~ was already having a hard time reducing its crimes in some areas. Don't believe it? Try living in Indiana or Detroit. I have a fair share of time living in Dolton, IL. So yeah, that's my opinion on the matter. It's a choice to be made. Security in exchange for "privacy" or Anarchy, but "free".

    I got off-tracked. Fuck. Anyway, I just want to clarify that most of the deaths, particularly during the Great Famine in the late 1950s is "30% natural disaster, 70% man-made error". I'll repeat, manmade e-r-r-o-r.I also believe that he's 70% good and 30% bad. If you fucking think Mao and Deng, and the current Xi Jinping are bad leaders. I'll just say that the CN people have shown through its history that it wasn't true. Read about the dynasties of Ancient China and how they fell. OH! And also. Want living proof regarding this matter? check how Taiwan was founded.

    But if you're thinking that death is directly proportional to how evil people are. Then people like Gilles De Rais or Max Robespierre aren't that evil eh?

    In other people view. Yes they're evil. But if you look at their perspective post-ww1. You'll see a glimpse of how they feel. How the German Empire was ran by the powerful, rich Jews and betrayed Germany.

    I do not give a shit about ‘other people’s view’. This is not subjective. He was evil. The ends do not justify the means, except in some very specific cases which have nothing to do with Nazi Germany. Like for instance I would kill 1,000 people to save my family, my family matters more to me than 1,000 random strangers. But other than those very basic primal instincts, nothing justifies what Hitler did.

    I'll get a quote from somewhere around the 1960s~

    "People ask me who my heroes are. have only one -- Hitler. I admire Hitler because he has pulled his country together when it was in a terrible state in the early thirties. But the situation here is so desperate now that one man would not be enough. We need four or five Hitlers in Vietnam."

    Good or bad. Evil or virtuous... is subjective. It's all about perceptions of the mind.

    What we know as "bad" today was known as "good" in 1941. Or in the future where it would be revealed that Hitler was abducted and controlled by the Aliens. Hence he was innocent after all. As far as we know, Hitler personally never killed anyone.

    Muslims believes that if they killed someone and asked for forgiveness from Allah, their sins will be forgiven.

    Christianity condemns suicide as "God" gave you a timeline and knows when you should die (like Death Note). But when you committed suicide, you are not following the timeline given to you and that is a sin. But to the Japanese Shinto, committing suicide (seppuku) is honourable.

    Many people condemn the killings that happened at Auschwitz or Treblinka. But don't give a fuck when a slaughterhouse that kills about 100 million+ chickens per day worldwide.



    So yes. It is subjective.

    Ah yes, the Dolchstoßlegende...
    and LITERAL NAZI PROPAGANDA is not a proof...

    I'm pretty sure we are excluding religious dogmas from the discussion, because else, this would be theology, not philosophy, and the question would have been worded as "what truth does X divine being teach us about the nature of evil?", which I'm pretty sure is not Helz's idea.

    Also, the fact people disagree on a topic does not mean the topic is subjective, it means the answers human beings give are. If I say something is hot and you say it's cold, it doesn't change the objective fact this thing's temperature is 15 Celsius degrees. Same goes for evil: it's not because people disagree on what it is that it does not exist as an objective reality. Maybe it doesn't, but you can't just assume that.

    Chicken slaughter is a good point, though. Do we consider harm against non-humans evil? Why?

    I think she's evil. She doesn't agree with me.

    You might say that a cat's perspective and a human perspective are not one and the same and call it subjective. But so too is the perspective different for people from different times and places. Would you judge the first Homo Sapiens by todays viewpoints and standards? If not then where do you draw the line?

    If evil is not subjective, then yes. On the basis that humans are not the center of the universe and we've other options.
    If evil is subjective, then no. On the basis that for humans "evil" would be limited to their own perspective, presumably something like described in #3.


    Question: is this a double standard?
    vegans and vegetarians refuse to eat meat in order to not support those animals having terrible lives and deaths. But when given the choice to support the opposite, by buying meat of animals who had a paradise life and as humane deaths as possible, they refuse.

    The German Army is still fighting strong in WW1 (To be honest this is hard to evaluate considering how the trench warfare system works. Basically, it's like TvT where both sides are playing marines and siege tanks exclusively). Then one side types GG whilst having 180/200 army supply.

    Then the ones who typed GG" are Hindenburg and Ludendorff who was manipulated by the conservatives powerful jews who represented rich landowners and industrialists.

    Oh course the SCVs would not know what's happening in the front lines right? After the siege tanks and marines came home. They didn't understand why they surrendered... or lost. Hence the blame game. They formed their own thinking and the stabby thing would make sense.

    When you are a commoner, starving... and then there's a man named Hitler who promises you that you can eat and make Germany great again (Ohhh remember this statement from Cheeto in chief). The German people believed him, and he delivered. He literally made Germany great again. Oh, I'm talking about the great depression here. Things are tough around that time.

    So yeah... Again, the whole world started to suffer economically, the German are starving, Hitler became the Fuhrer, and everything changes in a positive way. Connecting the dots now?

    Per that definition, suicide would be the ultimate form of evil (the ultimate breach of "internal rules" being to go against survival instincts). I'm not sure that's what you really believe.

    @ ozy: The part about ancient viewpoints and standards would have a role to play in defining what is evil and what isn't, but not due to the nature of evil itself changing: it would simply mean intents were completely different back then. There's also the option to define evil as "immorality" in a world where morality = the rules that hold societies together, in which case you could say Gengis Khan was absolutely not evil (but a great man).

    @ paopan: I... am not interested in continuing this discussion in this thread lol, sorry. It will derail the discussion anyway.

    In fact, if it was subjective, you would not be able to explain yourself at all to begin with. Don’t confuse having different interpretations of the same situation with morality being subjective. We all follow or at least recognize the same rules, but our interpretations of events differ.

    If morality was so subjective, we would literally be unable to explain what repulses or attracts us (if you will) morally at all. But you LITERALLY are: the examples with the backstab myth show a very clear application of moral rules that everyone can understand (if not agree with). This heavily attacks the idea of a subjective morality.

    At the head of the bridge waits for every animal that humans encountered during their lifetime.

    The animals, based on what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away.

If I had a person wash me, feed me and open doors for me I do not think I would look at them as my 'owner' but its all a question of perspective.

    Im kinda surprised that while conversation on evil is about it being subjective conversation about 'who' was evil is centered around deathcounts and such. If Hitler's actions were to protect his people could it be said that he was more moral than many serial killers? Is a hedonistic motivation to the determent of others objective evil or do results matter more than intentions?

    On the Hitler part - I think he could have won the war easily if he used Jews as a resource instead. I believe the more objective conclusion from that is that he's intents weren't so pure as he led to believe?
