Pick your self proclaimed Socialist, anti Christian Atheist mass murderer. Any of the 4 will do. Genghis Khan. He didn't just physically abuse his people, he mentally tortured them, raped tons of women and would torture you if you were one of the few soldiers in your army remaining at the end of a war. The only time he'd show an inkling of mercy is if you'd fought really well. One time he demanded the enemy who shot an arrow to him to step forward from a group of archers all pissing their pants, the one who did it did step forward (actually we still don't know if it was him or if he was just a hero taking the fall for his friend) but then he was made a general in Genghis' army for the long-range warfare division and he slit the others' throats except a few who he forced, via torture, to be human chairs for the higher ranks to sit on as they ate the bodies of those they'd just killed. Caesar was about 670x more reasonable in his ruthlessness than Khan was. (yes I worked on that number) With Caesar there were almost always ways to be safe (except if you fought his reign itself). Khan offered NO SUCH way. He'd rip your throat at random just to remind you who runs the show. If you were female, your pussy was a good way to live but as a male you could be killed at any time for any reason, including being nice to one he claimed as his own (which was around 50% of the women) |
