> [@Evan\_Drake](#): > > Just seems bad taste. I guess you would love donations in your name to The Donald J. Trump Foundation. I think the difference is that this clown is clearly a hateful idiot, and people are doing this to lampoon him and rattle his cage a little bit. Which seems to have succeeded way beyond their wildest hopes. And FTR, Chronos, the firebombing of Dresden was mostly a RAF Bomber Command operation. ---

Also pikers. Genghis Khan is supposed to be responsible for about 40M deaths, which was around 10% of the world’s populations at the time. ---

Jesus (literally), the other stories in the link in the original post are just hateful. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Jesus (literally), the other stories in the link in the original post are just hateful. But they’re only hating the SIN, you see; they love the sinners and this is how they show it. If it seems harsh, it’s only that the Lord works in mysterious ways we feeble humans cannot hope to fully comprehend. ---

Why is he bothered? Surely, he’s subscribed to the belief that Matthew 5 10-13 tells him this is all a blessing… ---

There was this column by Cecil about the biggest mass killings: > **[Was Andrew Jackson one of the world’s most prolific mass murderers?](https://www.straightdope.com/21343553/was-andrew-jackson-one-of-the-world-s-most-prolific-mass-murderers)** This may be the article by R.

> [@Machine\_Elf](#): > > Given that [Nazi Germany wiped out 11M Russian civilians,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II#/media/File:World_War_II_Casualties2.svg) plus another 6-11M in the Holocaust, plus several million more civilians in the various European states, I’d say they are the clearly the leading innocent-death-dealing organization in all of history. I think Mao’s total may be greater. I’ve seen estimates of 30 to 60 million. Although I wouldn’t like someone donating to the Trump foundation in my name, I wouldn’t object if the foundation were actually a charity. ---

According to the column by Cecil that I linked to, 35 million were killed in China from 1949 to 1987, 62 million were killed in the U.S.S.R. from 1917 to 1987, and 21 million were killed in Germany from 1933 to 1945.
