There's nothing objectively wrong with what he did. People die anyways. In 100 years 99.99% of the people alive today will be rotting corpses. It's just your opinion that it's bad to torture and rape children.

Herbet Kitchener helped devise the concentration camp scheme in the second Boer War where tens of thousands of women and children died due to disease & starvation. He was also a closet poof who had a boytoy living with him.

Maybe not exactly 'evil' but he strikes me as someone extremely stern & duty bound to the point of being callous to human suffering & willing to do whatever it takes to get to the top.

Asian dictators fall squarely into cartoon villain territory. luring out and killing well meaning people, ruling by fear and terror, doesn't aim for wellfare but further hold on subjects, etc.
Mao and Kim Jung Il are good examples.

Ghezo was actually probably one of the less evil kings of Dahomey because he at least thought about ending slavery and reining in the human sacrifice a bit, but he still made a skull throne and lived in a palace whose adobe walls were made with the blood and bones of the hundreds of slaves they sacrificed every year.

Im surprised that image doesnt also include all Hitlers personal ideologies about jews and judeo-marxist beliefs in Mein Kampf or his impartialness to Krystalnacht. I know thats not necessarily an order of execution, but you cant argue Hitler made public a profound hate and disregard for their lives, not to mention a motive for the extermination of people.
