    Insane kdr on these fellas, impressive stuff. I have a suspicion the Chinese are cheating to pump their stats though (real gamers know it’s endemic in their culture after all). Just seems sus that Mao could get more than 3x second place, probably used some exploit

    EDIT: checked the “source” and the dictator perk is giving him kills for everyone that died in the country for any reason, soooo broken. Prime minister doesn’t proc on anything, fuckin bullshit

      You still haven't even seen the actual meta of all the statistically expected births that didn't happen being counted as deaths.

      They've added All Nazi deaths in Stalins tally lmao. And all deaths caused by Nazis in the USSR are also in Stalins tally. Same with Mao

    How much you want to bet that Stalin's number includes Nazis who were killed during their invasion of the USSR?

    Love how these guys never put in British Prime Ministers or Monarchs even though they were dictators to India and killed hundreds of millions of people here.

    If Mao lived within 10,000 miles of a person dying, it was his fault.

    Conversely, Hitler may have been key to the start of WWII and enacted a multitude of civilian murder policies in addition to the holocaust, but we don't count those.

    Antileft and Nazi apologia same-picture

    I do like how the thread has a considerable amount of people calling out the image for the anti-communist, pro-nazi propaganda that it is

    Between 1880 to 1920, British colonial policies in India claimed more lives than all famines in the Soviet Union, Maoist China and North Korea combined.

    Ah The British Empire - somehow even more evil than you expected, every damned time

    what does it tell you about the creators brainworms that they said "Jozef" Stalin led "the Sovjet"

    Communism is evil, any book that fights against communism is a good book. My wife’s family didn’t flee China because it was a good country, they fled communism.

    I wonder if they included Korean War casualties in Kim Il Sung's total (assuming they didn't just pull numbers out of their ass/black book of communism), I wouldn't be surprised if they counted victims of Amerikkkan bombing as "victims of the dictator"

    riddle me this, redditor, how come ussr lost 27 million people in ww2, yet its more than hitler or stalin head count

    Those numbers for Stalin and Mao are at least 38.5 and 46.1 gigazillion off; I think they're trying to whitewash communism. Both of them are responsible for at least 3 exterminatus' worth in planet life altogether.

    17 million kills for hitler is a funny number to use given that 27 million Soviet citizens died in ww2.
