Klaus Scwhab, or maybe Georges Soros. They don’t do genocide, they just erase cultures. No war, no deaths. But a complete surrender for a life of boredom and submission.
Killing testo is more evil than killing for real with guns ans all.
Julius Caesar. He conquered, enslaved or killed millions of Gauls. He did it for his own ambition. His named heir also went to war for power and personal gain.
I think the stain of Stalin and his brand of communism can still be felt to this day in Russia. Controlling a whole country through intelligence network, brainwashing and fear. Even if you were in his inner circle you could still be tortured, disappeared, family killed or sent to labour camp to starve. The guy had no friends or allies. Just subordinates.
Interesting how no one ever mentions Timur (the Lame). He killed 5% of the world’s population at that time, but he was also extremely brutal and merciless. Literally a genocidal maniac.
I can simply say German and his face pops into your head. Establishing a dictatorship is one thing. but Genociding most of the citizens in your country in order to make a master-race (one he wasn’t even a part of technically) creating torture camps, and spewing hateful propaganda against a whole religion is enough put anyone in the VIP section of Hell
There is no one person. History is full of awful individuals that have caused horrible suffering to others. No need for comparisons that just end in belittling the suffering of others
Imo Joseph Fritzl is special kind of evil. Many of the dictators and a-holes mentioned here had a whole battalion of yes-men reinforcing their confidence, and none of them were in it alone. Fritzl on the other hand kept at it by himself for decades.
I don’t think it’s really like a linear progression, like starting at 1 the least evil and 10 the most evil
Evil manifests inside all of us. It just depends on what form it takes.
Liberal college students in California will tell you that it’s evil to ask “what are you” to a person when you’re asking about their ethnic background, because this is the scope of problems they deal with in their day to day lives.
From casual racism and inconsiderate selfish behavior in ordinary civil life, to littering and actively not seeing the bigger picture, to getting drunk and harassing people, to being a criminal and robbing people, to being a serial killer, to becoming a dictator and wholesale slaughtering whatever populous you dislike.
Regardless of everything though, we’ll first need to agree on a common definition and parameters for defining “evil”.
TL;DR – personally for me, anyone who kills people/takes life unnecessarily. To an extent I can understand following orders in war, or the death penalty for an extremely awful offender(s). I can absolutely understand self defense or the defense of others.
But by unnecessary I mean stuff like: racially/class-motivated, caused by a superiority complex, they have a personal taste for killing, it was land acquisition, it was divine command, it was JUST for shits and giggles, etc etc etc.
It’s too subjective. Someone who ordered the death of millions? A serial killer who personally killed multiple people? A person who just one time murdered and tortured a child? It depends on your own definition of true evil I think.
I think people really underestimate how awful Alfredo Stroessner was. 35 years of bloody, ultraconservative dictatorship… displacing and starving the native Guaraní, forcibly whitening native Americans to “modernise,” blaming natural disasters on “degenerate homosexual monkeys” and disappearing all of his opposition and political opponents, man that guy was fucking insane.
Edward Bernays. Most people don’t even know who he is, but he was the father of modern propaganda — literally wrote the book on manipulating the masses. He helped popularize smoking among women, worked with corporations to turn citizens into consumers, and influenced governments on psychological warfare tactics. His ideas laid the groundwork for the advertising industry, PR spin, and even modern political manipulation. People like Hitler or Stalin caused unimaginable suffering, yes — but Bernays helped invent the toolkit that made manipulating entire societies easier and more efficient.
Oskar Direwanger, a convicted pedophile who the SS put in charge of a suicide squad esque battalion of convicts on the eastern front in WW2. His crimes were so unspeakably fucked up that even other Nazis including men who were executed at Nuremberg were disgusted and petitioned Hitler to put a stop to him. Watch the movie “Come and See” if you want a small idea as to how bad he and his men were
The Butcher of Prague, Reinhard Heydrich. Of all the people in 1930s-1940s Germany, he was the worst and was one of the lead architects of the Final Solution.
Winston Churchill.
He created the Bengal Famine of 1943.
Ironically, the guy who commissioned this was on the “good” side of WW2, so it’s easy to sweep this under the carpet.
Chairman Mao. It’s not clear how many tens of millions died because of his failed agriculture collectivisation but it’s clear it’s the greatest loss of human life attributable to one event in history.
The Sackler family. I know you said person, but these people manufactured an epidemic that still rages. They have much more blood on their hands than the classic answers. They are the worst.

Hopefully one day we can locate individuals with the genetic affinity for Dark Triad Tendency and abort them before their birth.
History has suffered too much under the rule of small penis men.
My Dad gave me a quote that I keep close to my heart, it has become a foundation on my look of Morality when it comes to humanity.
“Anyone who desires and thrives to have power over you is your enemy.”
Pol Pot for sure
Do I even have to say his name?
I can simply say German and his face pops into your head.

This is a tricky question because its impossible to know who was evil prior to ehat we have evidence for. Recorded history is prety recent.

Nero, dude let his country burn while he was having the time of his life.
Sounds an awful lot like a bunch of people these days, dunno why he became such a role model recently.

How about Jeffrey Dahmer? All the evil leader guys used evil as a tool for some other goal.
Can we diffentiate evil as a tool from altruistic evil?
As in doing something for the greater evil.
Lyndon Johnson
The Sackler family. I know you said person, but these people manufactured an epidemic that still rages. They have much more blood on their hands than the classic answers. They are the worst.
Besides Vlad, the Impaler pol pot has to win this
The people in charge of ‘experimental research’ facilities within the Axis powers did some really fucked up shit to further human knowledge.
