It's not hard if you don't want to think, sure.
We can skip thinking and ask AI to use body counts of record as a percentage of population, nothing to discuss then... Nguema and Timur are up there with the ones you mentioned.
But if you want to think for a little bit, you ponder things like America's use of nukes on Japan just to keep Stalin from looking toward Asia or Europe's century long suicide after Churchill.
ok, so who was , in your opinion the worst dictator? you keep using whatabotism, without sharing your personal opinion.
so was it the first one to drop a nuke? so Harry S. Truman.?
shall we also ignore all Japan's atrocities as well?
would you then be happy to make an argument as to why Harry S. Truman. was worse than Adolf?
and saying 'think a bit; isn't an argument, I've spend thousands of hours 'thinking a bit'

Nukes would be a checkbox in the Stalin camp, if we form opinions based on the adverse impacts on people that they had.
Considering that Churchill created Stalin, I guess Churchill gets the nod.

i mean props for going with Churchill , because i don't know if i would agree he created Stalin - Stain, IMO, became stalin because he was a wiley, ruthless POS. even Lenin renounced him. even Churchill called him uncle Joe, totally underestimated him.
that being said , SN is a place of all different options, so I welcome all perspectives on dictators, even if i might not agree with them.
100 sats to you, despite our differing opinions ⚡
