The evilest person who committed the most horrendous deeds, propagated the worst ideas, or was responsible for other moustache-twirling affairs.
Anyone who is currently alive does not count.
I sorta don’t want to go down the rabbit hole. To find the answer you would literally need to compare attrocities. Im aware of quite a few but watching the actual footage of the aftermath and such is literally sickening. I’ve heard pol pot.
At this point, putin.
Hitler is a pretty obvious answer
In terms of raw numbers he is probably behind pol pot, gengis,etc…
Henry Kissinger is up there as quite a villain of modern times. Puppet master of most of the fucked up modern world order.
I’m gonna bet that is someone alive today. Some billionaire whose only ideals are personal gain.
“…whose only ideals are personal gain.” I think you’re describing every billionaire, no?
Paul the Apostle or Abraham.
I think that where we are today, it’s more important than ever to really recognise that there is absolutely no “evilest” person. And moreso, almost all of them genuinely believed they were being a force for good.
The main reason for there being no “evilest” is because there are not just tens, or hundreds, but thousands of people who have committed horrific atrocities which even as individual acts would be in contention for the evilest.
Just within the Holocaust, you have so many individuals perpetrating such evil. The croatian fascist groups always stick out in my memory for the raw personal brutality.
However, there are so many comparable situations throughout history that we know very little about. Sacking of cities, mass rapes, Jeffrey fucking epstein, what’s been happening in Sudan, what happened in Ethiopia a few years ago, the Holocaust, the Mongols, the ottomans, the British empire, south American dictators, the Japanese empire, the russian empire, the soviet union, al Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS, the IRA, the Vikings, and on, and on, and on.
Yes, arguments can be made about how much more evil things are when they are organised etc. However, in my mind, organisation is just a tool that we have improved. We need to be hyper vigilant that anyone, at any time can end up being so radicalised that they are willing to perpetrate evil. Including ourselves. We are not really different from these evil humans.
almost all of them genuinely believed they were being a force for good.
I don’t believe that. Sociopathy is extremely common in those that achieve high levels of power. Most of them used and manipulated others credulity around things being forces for good to increase their own power. For such people getting what they want is their only real criteria for good.
I agree with your last statement though.
Got to agree with this. We’ve got the evil leaders, and then what about those immediately second to them supporting and enabling all those orders that wind up in mass death and harm?
I don’t think it’s possible to say it’s one person, there’s a huge support structure that makes their version of evil happen.
There’s a difference, now, though:
Humankind’s doing its “mitosis” thing.
Humankind is dividing-by-alignment.
That only happens 1x per world, ttbomk.
( after the original Industrial Revolution, the Roman Empire, then the “seedling” that that was, in our world eventually grew into a “sapling”, the official Industrial Revolutions-sequence…
then, as population reaches ecological-saturation & technology simultaneously reaches world-breaking power, ClimatePunctuation kicks-in…
etc
all eventually enforce The Great Filter.
& in that Great Filter, alignment polarizes.
Anti-Life polarization & With-Life polarization.
Every world of people-similar-to-our-kind would have to go through it, same as “puberty”, but for whole-species )
As the process progresses, the polarization is going to become more & more extreme.
So, until now we’ve been mixtures, every individual ( with few exceptions ), but … that’s going to be changing, until there’s zero mixture left, & everybody ( near the end of this century ) is absolutely-polarized, 1 way or the other.

Maybe Abraham or the guy who made him up one afternoon?

Trump. Even Jeffrey Epstein said Trump was beyond evil. Those files are still censored for a reason.
Are you saying you genuinely 100% believe that Trump is more evil than Hitler, Stalin, Pot and Khan?
I only have knowledge of Trump raping children but not others
Ronald Reagan
Great choice
Carl Panzram was a (mostly) one man wrecking ball of unbridled badness. A lot of people would say he lived an evil life.
He wasn’t at his most evil when he had a mustache and he’s a person who’s not currently alive: the Joker.
There’s a lot of competition, but right now Trump is vying for a gold medal as hard as he can, which might actually explain a few things. He wants to be the best at being the worst.
Anyone who is currently alive does not count.
Unless I’ve missed the good news he’s not eligible
We all know he got hospitalized this weekend. I’m expecting a press conference to announce he died Friday but miraculously came back this morning. His fanbase will eat it up.
While Hitler, Pol Pot, Beria, and Kissing er are all obvious and good contenders, I think these will be surpassed by someone who is alive right now.
But who? Well, it’s most likely someone who already has significant resources at their disposal. I for one am convinced we haven’t seen the final form of Peter Thiel.
