The evilest person who committed the most horrendous deeds, propagated the worst ideas, or was responsible for other moustache-twirling affairs.
Anyone who is currently alive does not count.
Pol pot killed about 25% of Cambodias population and deserve a nomination.
Invented CFCs like Freon, which caused the hole in the ozone layer, and then later went on to pioneer the use of lead in gasoline, which is estimated to have resulted in the cumulative loss of millions of IQ points from humanity during its use, not to mention lead-derived cancers and other illnesses.
Possibly the single greatest negative contribution to the environment and humanity.
Did the most damage… But I’m not sure he’s villainous. Just competently dangerous. Happy to be corrected but I thought tmjr was trying to improve the world. He just got massively unlucky… Multiple times.
I consider this man to be the worst individual in all of human history. Maybe the single worst human to ever live on the face of the planet.
What makes him this bad? He knew. He knew what leaded gasoline was doing and what freon would do and he did it anyway to help cooperations make a little more money.
There are some pretty bad people under the post. But this guy… Man.
I would like to nominate Diego de Landa, burner of the Mayan books. And a lot of Mayan people. The Mayans had books, like normal paper booms filled with Mayan writing. Histories, religion, presumably everything a society would write down. There are only four Mayan books left now. It’s all gone. It’s a tragedy that particularly boils my blood and I’m making him the final boss of a Mesoamerican-themed Pathfinder campaign I’m about to run, because I want to live out a fantasy where he gets fireballed to death or something.
Laventiy Beria was the head of Stalin’s NKVD. He may not be the greatest villain, but more people need to know about this motherfucker.
Stalin introduced him as “My Himmler”. Despite all the spying and torture you’d expect from the secret police, Beria found time to be a prolific rapist as a side hustle.
My favourite scene in The Death of Stalin is when the rest of the Poliboro decided that they’ve had enough of Beria’s shit and have him shot after a ten-second “trial”.
While Hitler, Pol Pot, Beria, and Kissinger are all good and obvious contenders, I think these will be surpassed by someone who is alive right now.
But who? Well, it’s most likely someone who already has significant resources at their disposal. For all their flaws, I don’t think the lizards of Amazon, Google, OpenAI, and Facebook have much of an agenda beyond growing their fortunes. But I am convinced we haven’t seen the final form of Peter Thiel.
Mao was not so great.
God, and probably even dont exists, that makes it more impresive.
Hitler is a pretty obvious answer
In terms of raw numbers he is probably behind pol pot, gengis,etc…
Trump. Even Jeffrey Epstein said Trump was beyond evil. Those files are still censored for a reason.
Are you saying you genuinely 100% believe that Trump is more evil than Hitler, Stalin, Pot and Khan?
I only have knowledge of Trump raping children but not others
Holy shit dude. Trump is a nightmare, but please go touch grass.
Carl Panzram was a (mostly) one man wrecking ball of unbridled badness. A lot of people would say he lived an evil life.
He wasn’t at his most evil when he had a mustache and he’s a person who’s not currently alive: the Joker.
Trump and Netanyahu
Well that last qualification ends my answer
I’m seeing that people aren’t having a good objective framework for judging evil, so here’s my dimensions-of-evil, including the stuff in DarkTriad & DarkTetrad:
- narcissism
- machiavellianism
- sociopathy/psychopathy ( to this point is DarkTriad )
- sadism ( to this point is DarkTetrad )
- nihilism
- displacing objectivity
- displacing correct-reasoning
- displacing evolution/growing from a life, or from lives
- displacing autonomy with puppetry/authority
The more dimensions of evil, the worse.
The stronger on any dimension, the worse.
More-dimensions is more worse than stronger-in-a-single-dimension, though.

Maybe Abraham or the guy who made him up one afternoon?
