re: Were the Mongolians in the Middle Ages the biggest a-holes in history?

The Assyrians had some pretty great ideas we should probably implement today. For instance, if a judge or magistrate was found to be on the take or otherwise wrongfully influenced in a case before him, they would skin him alive. Then they would take his skin, tan it, and use it to cover a chair in which the next judge or magistrate would sit.
That sounds like a pretty good deal.

Not really. Pol Pot killed 2.8 million (high end estimate)
Mao killed 45 million in 4 years with his Great Leap Forward.

The frick they were.
They were conquerers who changed the face of the world.
They offered fair terms to those who would bend the knee, and took no half measures with those who didn’t.
They rewarded bravery, even in their enemies.
Conquering is bloody work, and even bloodier in the past. And you’re mad at the mongols because they were good at it?
Conquoring wasn't necessary for their survival past a very early point and mass genocide and rape isn't excusable. They purportedly murdered millions of children because, as you put it, their parents wouldn't "bend the knee".
But keep defending child murdering rapists. I'll keep calling them sub-human.

And what does changing the face of the world have to do with not being sub-human pieces of shite? The SS and Hitler sure changed the world too...

Was there a bigger gap between the Mongols and the #2 assholes of their era compared to assholes of other eras and their peers.
Considering that I’m not even really sure who would be in the running as #2 a-hole of the era, I’d say yes.

Dude...are you aware of history, at all?
Do you think it was a tea party?
This isn’t a contest for who you think would throw the nicest children’s birthday party.
Do you think nice people made the world? There are 2 types of people, conquerors and the conquered.
Were the allies in WW2 subhuman scum too?
Lots of dead kids under their bombs.

Well, except the numerous times they weren’t.
I don’t really have a big problem with the Mongols, I just think that they were assholes.

The Comanches were about as close to Mongols as you could get in terms of how they fought and how brutal they were.

If you are talking Genghis Khan, no. He actually only invaded in retaliation.

The Rape of Nanking even sickened the Nazis, and think how fricked up you have to be to do that.
I believe the safe zone set up by westerners that were living there at the time’s unofficial leader was a Nazi/Nazi supporter. I could be wrong but I think one of the reasons he became the leader was because they thought due to the alliance between Germany and Japan that it would be beneficial in saving more lives

You did not misremember that. You are indeed correct.

The Comanche took real pleasure in torturing their prisoners. The accounts given in Micheners "Texas" are hard to fathom. Worse than the Apache.

What the Californians did to the Mexican-Americans and Asian-Americans was pretty a-hole and gets swept under the rug. The largest lynching in American history happened in Los Angeles.

The Commanches couldn’t hold a candle to the Eastern Indians like the Shawnee. The things that went on along the Ohio River in Ohio and Kentucky are unimaginable. The Shawnee were badass.
By the way, in the early 1800s, parties of Delaware and Shawnee and the like who had been displaced to west of the Mississippi wandered all over the Great Plains and Texas kicking arse and taking names with no fricks given about the Commanches or anyone else.

Yeah I always wonder why the Apache are always given so much more press than the Comanche. The Comanche were about a million times more badass and fear enticing than the Apaches or any other tribe on this continent were at the time.

Because the Apache helicopter is so much cooler.
