Pretty sure the answer is "the brits".
Cats cant pronounce that tough, so it has to count all of those in a socialist's name.
In other news have you seen the latest royal wedding? So beautiful and glamorous, makes me feel blessed to have monarchs ruling over us!
I like when the prince ripped off the princess’s arm and shoved it into her ass.
A beautiful day for Canada and therefore the world.
Hey, i hate the british too, but the article doesn't directly blame the british for the famines and it also includes famines that took place in non-british held or administrated territories.
Nevertheless, it does point out that in many cases, british administration worsened the situation.

To be fair... They were only practising for how they'd treat modern Britain.
It also just one territory, I'm sure the Irish also have a few bones to pick.
Though speaking of time advantage, the best answer might be "mosquitos", and while "blood sucking insects" could be a name for british colonists, they didn't spread malaria since the dawn of humanity
In fairness we've been around a lot longer, but it is impressive how one little island nation has managed to fuck so much shit up from afar.
I think that Queen Victoria would rank pretty in the body count scoreboard
Yep, anyone saying otherwise is doing mental gymnastics.
Can hardly blame them, pestilence and diseases are a genuine concern for any empire where armed forces have to move far distances over land or sea
Can definitely blame them... Several of the famines in their 'empire' were either engineered, caused through incompetence or arrogance, or ignored when preventable.
Ref: Any of bengal's several famines under British rule, frankly even after once you take Churchill into account.
Nice shoehorn of anglo-saxon history, but those famines are all plagues and crop faliures for the most part.
This is a good one 😂
I've used this joke IRL with our cats. There's another one for dogs:
A guy and a dog walk into a bar. The bartender says, "hey, you can't bring a dog in here."
The guy says, "this is no ordinary dog. He's a talking dog."
Bartender says, "yeah? Prove it." The guy turns to the dog and says, "What's on top of the building?" And the dog says "Roof! Roof!"
Then the guy says, "How does a brick feel?" The dog says "Rough! Rough!"
The guy then says, "Who was the greatest ballplayer of all time?" The dog says "Ruth! Ruth!"
They are thrown out of the bar.
When they're out on the street, the dog turns to the man and says, "So, you think I should have said DiMaggio?"
Or this classic very dark joke: How do you make a cat sound like a dog? You pour gasoline on the cat and light it on fire. WHOOF
How do you make a dog sound like a cat? Push the dog through a buzz saw. MEEOOWW
It’s the Ruth/DiMaggio dog joke from Looney Tunes.
I always think of Doug Benson’s version but this is one of the OGs
i like super daves version
Pure theft!
While it has proven difficult to accurately estimate the pre-colonial population and the amount by which it changed under the Congo Free State, estimates for the Congolese population decline during Leopold's rule range from 1 million to 15 million.
That's a lot, but not even close to Mao
Noobish kdr. Max 10 millions deaths, somewhere between a French general during WWI (not counting German casualties) and minor paranoid dictators. Too much time larping as a psychopathic torturer, not enough time getting the job done. Mao killed several million people on a good mood, that's professionalism.
That's ridiculous, you can't judge the genocidal madmen KDA on body count alone, Leopold simply did more evil with less resources than anyone ever!
Starting position matters, and Leopold came from behind to become one of the worsts.
Dictators and the rich
Ive never heard of anyone with that name
The question does not require a single name, it said who, which can be answered with a list of people or groups of people. Eg. Who did I make love to last night? A: Your parents!
Richard Tators? Never heard of him.
Mao is a serial genocidist. Cope, tankies.
How about Bill Gates? His control of intellectual property law allowed him to almost personally stop the global south from manufacturing their own COVID vaccines and instead have to purchase them from the west. Bill Gates is answerable to millions of deaths. He's one of the most evil people alive but you get weird looks saying so. He's one of the top 5 richest people in the world and has spent the last two decades doing PR.
It took way too long to get the dad joke here.
Gilbert Shelton - Fat Freddy's Cat, 1973
This one's actually funny
Mosquitoes, thanks to Malaria. Estimated kill count (according to a Nature article from 2002) 50-60 Billion people.
Wow. You're really gonna just blame a whole race over a few billion deaths?
/s please don't hang me in these streets
More a person responsible kinda thing. I think Mao does top it but due to starvation thanks to his idiot policies that ruined crops
Is she in awe?
I thought the cat turned into one of them (sorry to confirm Godwins law once again). http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com/cgi-bin/seigbest.pl
Thanos (ah fuck, we're being realistic)
It's a pun too, that's a good one 🤣
Black book of communism nonsense.
I don't see why you're so flustered, it wasn't real communism...
Well, the workers didn't own the means of production, they didn't abolish currency, they didn't do anything about class division, they didn't abolish the state, they didn't empower the working class, and they aren't going to do any of these things later, but on the other hand, you clearly think mao was very trustworthy so surely you must just be taking his word for it.
I don't really think Mao's atrocities are disputed tbh.
Western media bubble
How do you mix up "ah" and "awe"?!
It's awww
How do you mix up "aww" and "ah"
To be fair, many of those deaths were landlords, who dont count as humans.
⬆️ your brain on dialectics
That's pretty fucked in the head, fam, even if these lists love blaming single communists but it when it comes time to talk about the death tolls of WW1 and 2 it's always a shared responsibility and contextual.
Isn't it a strange question to ask if you don't want an offensive answer?
