I mean yeah. He was one of history's biggest mass murderers
Dan Carlin brought this up many, many, many years ago in his podcast analyzing Ghengis Khan and at one point noted that the passage of time often softens people on death counts. We still feel the pain of the Holocaust today because it's very recent, but the mass killings done by Ghengis Khan were so, so long ago that we take a more clinical approach and end up disregarding the death and suffering he caused. It's interesting to think about but with OP not providing context it doesn't really matter lol Ghengis Khan was evil --- Enjoy movies and television? Check out my blog!

we disregard the death and suffering he caused because every sovereign leader in the entirety of the middle ages caused death and suffering, because the societies then were literally built around war and conquest.It's very both sides to try and equate Ghengis Khan to every other medieval leader. The times were violent, but he was not even close to the norm. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe we shouldn't celebrate anyone that killed lots of people, no matter how historically significant they are So should we not celebrate Obama in the future? He was ordering drone bombings left & right that killed several hundreds of innocent bystanders. So much to the point that in Pakistan the children are growing up fearing blue sunny days (optimal weather for bombing weddings & funerals).

The twitter thread in question had people ironyposting It's a bit easier to disconnect from atrocities 800 years ago when brutal conquest was the norm of expanding regions. Social norms weren't exactly against Genghis Khan wiping out the Khwarezmian empire. He sent enjoys who were tortured and killed, which is like an open invite to say "destroy us" --- Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That's how the light gets in."- RIP, Leonard Cohen ...
