In every good story or movie, it takes an obvious bad guy.

Evil people in real life aren't so obvious.

I’d say that we’ve had some pretty evil guys through history. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Franco, Pol Pot, King Leopold 1 of Belgium, Kim il-sung, Putin

Bro, all these leaders had whole countries supporting them.

They thought they were doing good.

In their perspective. Not ours.

To understand the reason for the seemingly "evil", you have to understand their perspective.

How the fuck can you deny that Pol Pot wasn’t evil? He literally killed a fourth of his country in a genocide. I’ll never understand people who’re defending the most evil people on the basis that everything’s subjective. Some people are simply not good.

I don't know him and what he's done.

Well he caused the Cambodian genocide. The. There’s king Leopoldo 2 of Belgium who committed perhaps the worst atrocities ever in Congo.
