Originally posted by Officer of EngineersThe Chinese. No contest. The Tai Ping rebellion. The single most devasting conflict in human history. 30 million estimated dead.
Or are we talking the manner in which they were killed?“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

i always wondered how it got so bad prior to the invention of modern methods of warfare. the rebellion was about 8-9 years; at 30 mill that's almost 9000 people dying, per day.There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

1851-1864 - A man who believed himself to be Jesus Christ re-incarnated lead a rebellion against the "foreign" Qing Dynasty in China. The whole of China is the graveyard. Think Rwanda times 40. You can still find bones everywhere but most bodies have already decompossed by now.

"Barbarian" meant approximatly those "funny noises them foreigners make". It was not to describe their lack of humane actions. So by that standard we are all barbarians.
As for Barbarian actions Romans did a lot of them, Carthage, Corinth, the put down of Spartacus's rebellion, Ceaser's campaign in Gaul, over a Million Gallic dead, Germanicus's campaign across the Rhine, often killing women and children in their sleep, Sepitimus Severus's sack of Ciestaphon, carrying off 100,000 people into slavery, his son Carcella's sack of Alexandria, which was onnly cause it was rumoured someone had made fun of him."Any relations in a social order will endure if there is infused into them some of that spirit of human sympathy, which qualifies life for immortality." ~ George William Russell
