Mongolian Empire should be way the gently caress higher imo. Like top 3. Highest percentage of the world killed ever, did the Sack of Baghdad that absolutely devastated Islamic culture, held China as racist colonial state for almost a century, and its founder was history's

Takanago posted:okay I'm pretty sure it doesn't compare to anything here on a scale of genocidal hosed up-ness but what do y'all think about the Napoleonic Empire never really had a chance to get up to too much bullshit, but its conduct in the existing French colonial empire didn't noticeably improve over previous French governments in particular, re-legalization of slavery (which had been ended by Robespierre) was a poo poo move, and the bloody intervention in the Haitian Revolution (which included a white supremacist commander executing black and mulatto POWs in makeshift gas chambers) suggests that French imperialism wasn't much of an improvement on British imperialism

Argentine Ants have created communistic super societies that exceed the biomass of most human civilizationsquote:The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has compiled a list of the 100 invasive species that are most harmful to Earth’s biodiversity. This list includes five of the supercolony-forming ants. quote:“According to the laws of evolution, you only need to help out your relatives. But we’re seeing ant colonies so big that all the ants cannot possibly be related. So why are they helping one another? That’s what we’re trying to figure out,” he says. quote:A supercolony can grow at an incredible speed. From a single point, it can grow up to 30 metres in any direction per year. Within the supercolony, the individual nests can be packed as densely as one per square metre.

The victory of the reactionary powers in Europe pretty much set the political dialectic back a hundred years. Way more people died in the long run because Napoleon wasn't able to liberalize the whole continent.

Blaming spain from genocide is stealing valor from diseases.We have at most half a genocide.Conquistadores are overrated and encomiendas did all the hard work. Also there's no loving way the loving neo-assyrians rank that high.This is a travesty.This list lacks the Belgians who organised the whole Congo business, the US is too low , the assyrians too high ( wtf number three you are nuts, over japan with 35 millions Chinese during WWII and incredible performances like Nanking ), Mongols 11º???????, you include the aztecs ( WTF WTF , those guys barely rank in the corpse per corpse ranking with a measly 100K deaths or so, even his human sacrifice numbers are totally inflated ), and leave all the heavy weight European empires in like middle positions, the disrespect to the Ottomans who pulled off a 1.5 Million genocide during a world war, or the URSS who went to town on the Ukrainians is shocking. And the romans, those dudes were assholes but they simply lack the numbers to make it to that high on the list.Modern empires were more efficient and have larger total stats except for the mongols who were GOAT for 6 centuries.If you can cool the earth after you finished your work, you are in. You put the nazis 5th, those guys killed almost 24 million people in the east, between death camps, forced labour, violence, famine and disease in 5 to 6 year period.I don't know why but it feels wrong. This list is poo poo, worse than a UFC ranking. hump day bitches! has issued a correction as of 09:31 on May 22, 2018 |

Even if napolean had taken the whole continent of Europe, its unlikely he'd be able to take the uk just because of the channel. Supply chain would be too weak and navies were still simplistic.
