No. It's not in a ruler's interest to destroy the mechanism that made them a ruler. It's all about gaining and controlling power and influence. None of that is possible in chaos.

>>1991545
/pol/

Even absolute rulers don't exist in a vacuum and are often beholden to an inner circle of sorts. Anybody in a position of actual power behaving in a truly insane manner would be facing the business end of a *insert popular weapon of the era here* rather quickly.

Sure, Hitler, Stalin and Mao for example.

Or serial killers like Carl Panzram and Ted Bundy.

Caligula and Nero come to mind... Basically just batshit insane rulers who did it all for shiggles. (I'd say Manson, but he had a goal, kinda, sorta.)

>>1991552
Lots of rulers deliberately sabotage their own government and power structures, though usually the chaos has an end goal, or at least an ideal motivating it. The US GOP, deliberately shutting down the government, and costing the US its credit rating, just being one of many recent examples. Similar for those who want to audit the Fed, and risk destroying the economic structure that keeps them in power in the name of simple economic justice, and the like.

>>1991562
Hitler, Stalin, and Mao had very clear goals, and chaos wasn't among them. (As /tg/ would say, these are all Lawful Evil types.)

Carl and Ted were following their own perversities, not necessarily aiming for chaos, just causing a lot in their effort to satiate themselves.

>>1991579
>Hitler, Stalin, and Mao had very clear goals

Really? Is that why Hitler committed suicide in a bunker after destroying Europe?

Sounds like chaos for the sake of chaos to me. Especially considering the fact that when it became clear that they were gonna lose the war, they ramped up their genocide instead of channeling resources from it towards the war effort.

>>1991590
>Is that why Hitler committed suicide in a bunker after destroying Europe?
Yeah? He gambled and lost. That's a proper death for a military leader who loses. It doesn't mean he was an "agent of chaos" or whatever your stupid shit thread is supposed to be about

>>1991590
The result of failing his goals...

You can admit Hitler had goals, other than simple chaos, without going full /pol/. If he wanted to simply generate chaos, there were much more effective ways he coulda gone about it, rather than creating one of the most infamously and meticulously ordered forces of all time, with the clear cut goal of regimental German domination.

>>1991599
Well to me, he seems more like Dylan Klebold with a massive army, than a rational actor with a clear goal.

>>1991604
>If he wanted to simply generate chaos, there were much more effective ways he coulda gone about it

More effective than causing the death of 50 million people, and genociding another 11 million?

I don't think so. That's a pretty effective level of chaos.

>>1991605
Well, to real adults who read books and study history, he seems like a nationalist leader trying to establish German dominance over Europe in one fell swoop. I could see how being an idiot would lead you to your conclusion, though.

Is chaos the end goal or just someone who just didn't really have an end game?

Alexander the great could be argued an agent of chaos. Literally just conquering for the sake of it fuck the consequences or lives no real goal just a straight line from Greece to India for no fucking reason.

>>1991607
It would have been much more effective to simply start sabotaging all the European power structures economically, including his own, from within, rather than trying to unite them all under the single, well ordered and rigorously regulated flag of the Third Reich.

>>1991605
Even Dylan Klebold had a goal, from what he left behind - he wanted to make a statement about the social hierarchy. I suppose they are similar in that Hitler wanted to redefine the social hierarchy, permanently and world wide, rather than simply make a statement.

>>1991614
>he seems like a nationalist leader trying to establish German dominance over Europe in one fell swoop

Well I don't care what it "seems" like, I care what he actually did. And what he actually did was cause a war that killed 50-75 million people, and he personally oversaw the genocide of another 11 million.

Maybe you should try to infer people's motivations from their actual actions than from their stated intent instead because it's probably closer to the truth.

>>1991618
Oddly, the storm of Alexander did almost nothing but leave behind order and uniformity wherever it went.

>>1991619
>It would have been much more effective to simply start sabotaging all the European power structures economically, including his own, from within, rather than trying to unite them all under the single, well ordered and rigorously regulated flag of the Third Reich.

You can't be serious. It's vastly more effective to bomb something than playing political and economic subversion games.

>>1991623
So what point are you trying to make actually? That Hitler was a Chaos Magickian who listened to Current 93 and pretended to read Aleister Crowley? Fuck off

>>1991623
OP's phrasing is in regard to intent, not result. Clearly, his goal was one of infinite draconian order, rather than infinite degenerate chaos. Order isn't necessarily a positive thing, in and of itself.

>>1991631
Undermining a government is a lot more effective than bombing it, for a long term goal of chaos. If your bombing campaign fails to destroy the government in question, it only makes it more powerful as its people rally behind it and become much more willing to accept the burdens it places upon them and their freedoms. Which is more or less what happened, save for those governments that surrendered to the advance, which the Germans were then force to reorganize.

>>1991635
I'm trying to make the point that even if you /pol/tards think that all of this is a game, and that nationalistic LARPing is fun, maybe just maybe, you'll literally elect The Joker; e.g a person who actually doesn't care about anything, and just want to destroy shit, and is opportunistically playing along with your pathetic games.

Be careful what you wish for; or better yet, examine what you yourself actually wish for, because it might not be so fucking nice.

>>1991644
Oddly, no one here is supporting Hitler yet (which is a bit unusual for this board), and pretty much everyone, save you, has been saying his goals were evil - but a meticulously ordered evil, not a chaotic one. He wanted a very specific rule of law, not simply chaos, or he never would have reorganized the governments he toppled and forced such strict order upon them. Making ludicrous claims about Hitler just fuels /pol/ and their supporters really. What's worse, it distorts the image of history making it harder to learn from, and thus more likely to repeat itself.

Hitler happened for a reason, and if anything, he was a response to chaos. If one forgets this, one just invites more of the same.

>>1991661
Yeah cringe, it's your thread you fucking idiot

>>1991667
>has been saying his goals were evil - but a meticulously ordered evil

No, I'm saying that his actual actions and their consequences implied that he might not have had the goals that people normally attribute to him.

If you successfully launch a war that kills an indiscriminate amount of people and you also start a genocidal campaign against specific subsets of the population, only to commit suicide in a bunker somewhere underground, it's hard to not think this was the whole goal to begin with.

>>1991672
>it's your thread you fucking idiot

No, it isn't. My first post in this thread was >>1991562

But believe whatever you want queer.

Oh so you only made the second-stupidest post? That's still pretty good.

>>1991677
>it's hard to not think this was the whole goal to begin with.
No, that's fucking stupid. The intended result was obviously to WIN THE WAR.

>>1991683
Are you going to say anything substantive, or are you just going to shitpost like you're a butthurt 7 year old who is not getting any icecream today?

>>1991677
If you have some evidence to back this up, sure, but no one who has ever written of Hitler, nor any of his own works, suggest his goal was anything other than a new Aryan order and German dominance. All of his efforts seem to be to that end, they simply failed, leaving him with nowhere to turn.

If anything, what you are suggesting, is that everything would have been just fine if he had succeeded in his stated goal, rather than caused so much chaos because the better half of the world powers resisted it.

So why are you supporting Hitler then?

>>1991686
>The intended result was obviously to WIN THE WAR.

So why did they ramp up the Holocaust? Doesn't sound like someone trying to win a war to me.

>>1991694
How am I supporting Hitler by saying that it's obvious he had strategic goals? Literally everyone who's ever studied history (and even everyone who hasn't) would agree with me and not with your fuck-stupid assertion that Hitler was secretly the Joker or whatever

>>1991694
>If anything, what you are suggesting, is that everything would have been just fine if he had succeeded in his stated goal, rather than caused so much chaos because the better half of the world powers resisted it.

I don't see how this is implied by anything I've said in this thread.

>>1991695
Because the stated goal behind the war was establishing a new Aryan order under German control - to overthrow what the advocates there of saw as a degenerate chaos resulting from mongrel and Jewish influence, supported by a nation of peoples who had been economically raped by the shortsighted peace treaties of the previous war.

Such a goal is the opposite of chaos. It's still fucking evil, and you have to burn down the existing order to get there, but it's not a goal of chaos, it's one of fascism.

>>1991690
Substantive? Like saying Hitler is an agent of chaos like the Joker? A character from a childrens cartoon? Yeah real deep analysis their buddy. Go fuck yourself idiot

>>1991672
Actually its my thread m8.

What I have gathered so far is that everyone to some extent is a rational actor, this concept of a pantomime chaos villain and anyone who was a true agent of chaos would lack the support needed to be remembered through history as you gather support by having a cause.
Thanks anons, sage this thread if you will unless there are any other points to be made.

>>1991716
Yeah but the point is you buffoon, is that they started genociding people DURING the war.

If you want to win a war, you don't start using resources and logistics to genocide people. That's obviously fucking insane, and probably one of the reasons they lost the war.

So that argument doesn't work.

>>1991713
It's what you are implying. That if the world had just sat back, and let Hitler implement his stated plans, in a calm orderly fashion, and no chaos resulted, then it'd be fine.

And that's a pretty fucking evil world view.

If you're going to claim his actual goal was just pure chaos, despite all his statements to the contrary, then you're basically saying his stated goal was fine, and it's only this completely undocumented and hidden internal goal of his that was evil.

>>1991732

>>1991735
>It's what you are implying. That if the world had just sat back, and let Hitler implement his stated plans, in a calm orderly fashion, and no chaos resulted, then it'd be fine.

No, that isn't what I'm implying at all.

>>1991732
>If you want to win a war, you don't start using resources and logistics to genocide people.
Whoa there buddy maybe you should look up the phrase "total war" and also while your at it google "world war 2"

>>1991732
You don't try to win a war while the people whose stated goal it is yours to remove are living among you.

And they did do everything possible to remove the problem the most efficient and orderly manner possible. Again, just cuz shit's orderly, doesn't mean it isn't evil.

>>1991737
How was your first post a metaphor or an analogy? OP asked for "true agents of chaos" and you named some people as answers. Not only do you not know what a metaphor is, you don't even understand your own posts. Truly pathetic.

>>1991590
>Really? Is that why Hitler committed suicide in a bunker after destroying Europe?

Anon, if you say "I'm going to become the world's best runner!" then you fuck it all up, break your leg, and shoot yourself because you never became the world's best runner, that doesn't mean you lacked a clear goal. It just means you failed to reach it.

Hell you can be morbidly incompetent and still have a goal. Being a fuckup and causing chaos doesn't necessarily mean chaos was the intended result.

>>1991744
Well, which is it then? Was Hitler evil because he caused so much chaos, because his goal was simply chaos - or was Hitler evil because he had the plan of instituting the most genocidal draconian order Europe ever conceived of?

>>1991764
Well, both are a problem and undoubtedly evil.

Let me use an analogy then.

Do you think Mao's Great Leap Forward was actually motivated by deep empathy for his fellow Chinese, and a hope that it would solve the problems in their society?

It killed an estimate 45 million people; but you can either argue that this was a negative consequence of his higher ideals, or you can argue that this was the goal to begin with.

I tend to assume the latter. Either way it would be evil to kill 45 million people, but sometimes people don't even understand that they supposedly "noble ideals" can actually murder millions of people.

>>1991551
>>1991590
>>1991605

>>1991772
>I tend to assume the latter.
Because you're literally retarded and completely removing these events from their historical context. You have no place on this board, so fuck off.

>>1991762
Yeah, but my point is that the underlying true goal can be total chaos and destruction, but on the surface it can appear as rational and even noble.

I don't get why this is so hard to understand. I mean, Communists are especially guilty of this.

>>1991779
Not an argument.

>>1991772
Do you even know what the Great Leap Forward was? If the goal simply to kill millions of people, why would you do it by moving intellectuals out into the country and making them into shitty farmers and steelworkers? Why wouldn't you just shoot them? You're idea is retarded, to be honest.

>>1991783
actually its very much an argument, sorry that you're retarded

>>1991545

Well, in fiction i guess

But that means it's not a good villain

>>1991772
If you're unwilling to accept that the path to hell is paved with good intentions, you're going to get there real fast.

Sadly, I'm sure Mao's intention wasn't to starve his people to death. Bit less certain about Stalin's atrocities, but his goal too, seemed to be the opposite of chaos - everything he did was to maintain order and power.

People tend to justify everything they do to themselves. Very few people are evil for evil's sake, and even less often do such people come to power (and when they do, it tends to be a matter of hereditary succession).

...and most of the evil in the world is done in the name of fighting evil - committed by folks who forget this simple fact.

>>1991785
>If the goal simply to kill millions of people, why would you do it by moving intellectuals out into the country and making them into shitty farmers and steelworkers? Why wouldn't you just shoot them?

Maybe because people are entirely deranged and like to play nihilistic jokes on people.

What?? It's not like I'm personally Mao telling you how great I am. This is the rational behind an actual even that already really happened in reality. We're not advocating Mao to you, we're telling you what REALLY HAPPENED. And you just persist in being like "well what if Mao thought x, y and z?" Well, yeah wow, what if? Nobody knows what Mao really thought. That's sort of like central to studying history, which is obviously not something you're familiar with.

Posting a source proving that these particular rulers overall goal was a derange and nihilistic joke, on the other hand...

>>1991827
It's a lesson to be learned from, and an important one - that the highest and loftiest of goals can lead to the darkest and most depraved acts of death and suffering.

And the sad truth is, historically speaking, that's been the case more often than not. The asshole who comes in and says, "I'm here to fuck your shit up!", is most often less destructive than the saint who proclaims, "I'm here to save our people and show them the way."

You can make caricatures out of these rulers, claim they were simply evil, and ignore that lesson, but you ignore a basic precept of human behavior and psyche in the process, and more or less doom yourself to the fate of those folks who followed them, believing someone else to be evil and so readily dehumanizing the detractors who tried to warn them.

>>1991941
You try to refute my point that there's no reason to believe that Hitler's goal was total chaos and destruction by saying "but that is what he caused". Just because that is what he caused doesn't mean it was his intention. The goals do not necessarily equal the results you achieve by pursuing them.
>>1991953
Actually, after looking it up, it was indeed meant to be humorous. The acronym was devised by John von Neumann, who had a taste for humorous acronyms. I don't understand why this would be scary though. Some of the darkest things are most often joked about.

So? He failed to reach his goals and fucked off by blowing his brains out.
If he wanted to create Chaos, why were they trying to establish stable governments loyal to them everywhere they could? Why did they just kill specific groups of people instead of just taking whatever they could and then denying useless towns water, electricity and food?
Sure you could argue that the Third Reich needed the resources to first win the war, but that implies that once they'd actually win (let's say control whole of Europe and somehow make the US a complete non-threat to them) they would start just literally burning down the entire continent for teh chaotic lulz.

>what their intentions actually were, whether they were aware of it or not
I think you have a misunderstanding as to the definition of "by intention". Intentions you aren't aware of are, by definition, unintentional.

If you are saying Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, subconsciously, desired nothing but chaos, that still doesn't change their intentional goals, which in each case, were anything but.

And in Stalin's case, while his reign was murderous, in the end, it was anything but chaos - it was order of the worst kind. A Joker or two tossed in there might have actually made things better.

>If you are saying Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, subconsciously, desired nothing but chaos, that still doesn't change their intentional goals, which in each case, were anything but.
>And in Stalin's case, while his reign was murderous, in the end, it was anything but chaos - it was order of the worst kind.

well whether or not the manner in which millions of people were killed was orderly or not, the absolute disregard of human life on such a grand scale sounds like chaos to me.

>>1992130
>THEN WHY ARE YOU TREATING IT AS SOMETHING THAT SIMPLE

I'm not. I've just been saying the whole thread that people's intentions might be quite a level more sinister than what they superficially say out loud.

>>1992138
That's literally not the definition of chaos.
You could say it's inhuman, immoral, monstrous, etc.but it isn't chaotic just because it's bad.
Things can be chaotic and good at the same time, for example a rebellion against a corrupt and totalitarian regime which abuses it's citizens.

>>1992138
Oh no. It's unfortunately entirely possible to mass murder people in a systematic and orderly fashion, and those guys were all pretty good at that, to varying degrees.

...and, not that any of these men did, but it's also entirely possible to go in with the best and noblest of intentions, subconscious or otherwise, and still end up with a bunch of dead and starving people.

You can put the most angelic, kind hearted, child in charge of the world, and still watch everything burn from simple shortsighted naivete. There's plenty of kind and noble leaders who have been abject failures.

SO THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
IT IS THAT SIMPLE
you're saying that regardless of ANY FACTS OR EVIDENCE, because you BELIEVE THAT THIS IS TRUE BASED ON THE END RESULT, that is the true intentions of these people
and that is FUCKING retarded

>>1992170
Man, you should calm your blood pressure.

>>1992152
In Hitler's case, it'd be hard to have a set of intentions more sinister than what he said out loud. In Stalin's case, it seems his stated intentions and his actions were perfectly aligned. Only in Mao's case could you possibly say his stated his intentions sounded more benign than the results of his actions, but given the power he had, if his intentions were simply to cause death, he could have caused a whole lot more, and more directly, rather than having so much of it caused indirectly by blindly idealistic management.

Roman Von Ungbern-Sturgen wanted Europe to be cleansed by war and destruction to rejuvenate its cultures.
That's not exactly what you wanted since he had a reason for chaos, but it's still interesting.

This guy is either à ((())) who got butthurt in pol and posts here to shit on Hitler because we can't seee his flag or a teenfagg larping as the comedian becahe saw watchmen last night. Hurr durr life is à sadistic cruel nihilistic bombastic joke m'kay.

Wew lad, it's okay to admit you're out of your depth instead of desperately grasping for straws this hard.

Huh, I wonder if Hitler was somewhat of a dumbass. That can't possibly be true...

My ass, lawful means that you have your own moral code that you actually do follow. Stalin and Mao had absolutely no ideology, idk if Hitler actually believed his own stuff but probably moreso than these two.

Attila was a mighty ruler, that's true.
But he was no psychopath.

>>1991545
Let's say there were examples of "agents of chaos", do you really think they'd advertise it? The surest way to lose control over someone is telling them you're doing so for the chaos. So no ruler could be an obvious agent, they'd have to ideologize the shit out of their mayhem. And if the agent wasn't a ruler but a figure just doing so for the mayhem, my best guess would be Pablo Escobar, but I don't know shit.

I remember reading somewhere that Ghengis Khan's original goal was to just shit up agricultural civilizations because he was buttmad they weren't nomadic like his and that's why he destroyed grain stocks and infrastructural stuff while often leaving the urban centers themselves alone.
