The KHAN
Ya don't fuck with this guy.
Speaking of War Criminals. None of today's or the last century's villains, and mass murderers were remotely scary on a personal level. They were mostly bi-polar sociopaths with sexual disfunctions in tacky comic opera uniforms, and daddy issues.
If you met one of these jerks at a bus stop you'd not notice.
Rounding a corner, and bumping into Marvel's Dr. Doom would be another matter. You'd know your shit was in a jam on sight. Such villains, and master criminals these days are restricted to the realms of fantasy.
The same as Heroes.
Superman Jesus Wonder Woman, and Sponge Bob come to mind.
Life is actually rather dull. Even our genocides have no real imagination to them. I mean the Elves facing off against the hoards of Orcs is a story an automatic legend.
North vs South Sudan not so much.
There has to be a great truth against great wrong. As opposed to gangs of rapist butchers hacking each other up over the scraps of a departed colonizer. Though the dead are just as dead.
One is worthy of a song one is not.
How our taste in Mass Murderers has fallen. The Kahn of the Golden Hoard a zillion years later still has movies made about him.
There was a Butcher worthy of the name. Whole bleeping continents still bear his scars.
Human madness summed up in one deranged maniac
That guy 'liked' getting both hands dirty. A severed head eyes still blinking in one, and still beating heart in the other,...which he takes a bite out of to the approving laughter of his Hoards.
Think of the t-shirts caps, and slurpy jugs this guy could sell.
Whereas we got calm quietly deranged Himmler, and his pals. Ya know the guy what fainted on seeing a prisoner shot, and threw up on being shown a pit full of the people he ordered killed. Such as this attempted to exterminate whole peoples
Then there's the Good Guys.
American, and Brit Signal Corps corporals between coffee breaks typed up orders to flame Dresden Hiroshima Hamburg, and Tokyo.
Later without a thought for the Nuremburg judgment their sons issued instructions to poison Indochina with Agent Orange.
Red Army clerks being careful of typos sending orders to depopulate the Ukraine. Expelling the survivors to Siberia.
Sorry stuff.
The world was being slaughtered by clerks on orders from comic opera politicians, and careerist generals. The sort who worried they might miss their train home.
This is not progress.
If The village exterminating head chopping Ayatollahs had some personal grand evil style we'd have wiped them out by now.
That whole Valiant Elves vs the Evil Orcs thing.
Instead they're mere hysterical clerics droning on YouTube. Telling jobless broke horny kids they'll get laid forever in heaven if they blow themselves up.
The g-ds must be so disappointed in us.
I just had this dream of a bar in Valhalla.
Hitler Pol Pot Himmler, and Che the executioner walk in for a few. The Khan, and his pals are there clap eyes on these amatures. They fall on them gleefully hack their arms off, and use these to butt fuck them.
Then shoved live grenades down their throats starting with what was left of Hitler. Locked them in the shitter, and waited for the fun. Yeah these guys knew their business.
Eh,...this being warrior's heaven Khan, and his pals can did this over, and over till the radioactive cows come home.
All in all I'd rather be at a 1956 Boy Scout Jamboree.
Fear not, a new age of Ivan the Terribles and Ghengis Khans is on its way. Attila shall ride again. The ensanguined brush of Delacroix would find plenty of exciting material in our future.

Quite a bit of his DNA too. That guy had a really big & busy harem.
While China treats them like a despised doormat, Mongolians literally worship the Khan to this day.
Z
That guy meant business.
ReplyDeleteI had a lady pal whose family came from Russia in the 1900's. She has a touch of Mongol ancestry in her eyes. We used to joke that one of her ancestors bumped into one of Kahn's guys.
That maniac is certainly worthy of a song,...and a shit load of movies. I don't think the daddy issue guys or their clerks will be mentioned in the 35th century. ...but Khan will.
