Leopold II: No no, you misunderstand. The people aren't free, I got the state for free."
-
Massive respect for putting king Leopold II next to these other monsters, he deserves it
-
As someone who is part congolais I’m glad you added the history of the Congo
-
King Leopold was a monster I wonder why we don't hear too much about him in school but they focus on Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao.
-
The scary truth is that we do not know what other atrocities these dictators have done that have not yet been revealed.
-
Imagine living through a gulag just for it to be made into a meme by people who never heard of it until call of duty.
-
People criticize hitler but those same people praise Stalin.
-
That king Leopold piece is incredible. I think seeing this in an animation takes away from the sheer horror. I saw a pic from Congo taken with a woman who had her hand missing and a kid in a cage and two white kids smiling, between the woman and the kid in the cage. Chilling pic the look in the eyes is as if their defeated.
-
Good old Joseph Stalin I don't know why he never gets the props he deserves they always feel like Hitler outshines him but Stalin got numbers up there
-
If they all sat together at a dinner table the k/d ratio in that room would be crazy
-
-
The huge crowds didnt go to Stalins funeral to pay their respects, but to confirm that he really died
-
Those Congo animations were brutal.. just the thought of getting your hand cut off while pretending to be dead is insane!!
-
The Congo story is unbelievable. I cannot believe it is not more known. Those poor people. My god
-
I’m surprised pol pot didn’t make the list . The guy killed his own race and work them till death not to mention the torture and abuse.
-
problem is that leopold used native congolese officers to commit atrocities on their very own people
-
Always remember... No one thinks of themself as evil.
-
This feels like the kind of history that’s just worth knowing about. Many people go through life ignorant of the events that shaped the current world 🌎
-
You forgot to include General Hector Aldozar of Isla Island (later renamed Bananarama) who became the most brutal dictator in Isla Island's history. He was so brutal, he earned the nickname "El Bailarín De La Muerta," which translates to "The Dancer of Death".
-
Wow I am going to spend all night watching your videos because they are so intriguing! Among the best stuff on YouTube.
