Trivializing a Mass Murderer
We've seen this with many brutal dictators. Full article here.
When Americans talked or wrote about Kim Jong Il, we often tended to play up his eccentricities: his ridiculous sunglasses, his towering hair, his platform shoes, his interest in movies. . .
Still, even if we cannot completely grasp what life is like for ordinary North Koreans, we can at least be honest with ourselves about one thing: Kim Jong Il may have been an eccentric, but he was not, first and foremost, an eccentric. He was, first and foremost, the cruelest man of our time. And that is how we should remember him.
Comparing Dictators
Interesting read:
"The personality profile of Kim Jong-il showed the same “big six” constellation of personality disorders [as 2007 studies of Hitler and Saddam Hussein]: sadistic, antisocial, paranoid, narcissistic, schizoid, and scizotypal. Further comparisons among the dictators revealed that Kim Jong-il had more in common with Saddam Hussein (their profiles had a correlation of .67) than with Hitler (their profiles had a correlation of .20). Indeed, both Jong-il and Hussein had sadistic personality disorder as their highest rated item, and their scores were nearly identical – more than three standard deviations above the population average!"
