It depends on what your criteria for "worse dictator" is.
Compare a secular dictator who kills many political opponents, but leaves those who don't oppose them politically free to live their lives mostly in peace, to a religious dictator who kills significantly less people, but tries hard to force everyone to follow strict religious law. Some people will say the religious one is worst than the secular one, despite having killed more people.
Or compare a dictator who kills many political opponents, but is tolerant of ethnic and religious minorities so long as they don't politically oppose the regime, to a dictator who kills fewer people overall, but subjects ethnic and religious minorities to harsh (but mostly non-lethal) oppression.
It reminds me of the debate over Bashar al-Assad.
I'd rather be ruled by Sheikh Hasina than Ali Khamenei, even if it somehow turned out that she killed more people than he has.
- t_mahmood 2y agoHow about no dictator at all. You rather want to live in a life if fear, without no guarantees of your life, or never knowing when you land in her secret prison for rest of your life, be her guest. But not here. And definitely not under a child murderer. She didn't just kill political opponents, she killed students, and general people, or anyone that goes against her. And she have few hundreds of political prisoners. And how do you know you are not her enemy? You don't have to do much to be her enemy. And she's a enabler of corrupted goons. And also no freedom of speech. Simple, one of her goons think he needs to punish you, he just say this person said something offensive against her or her daddy or any of her family, ta-da you land in the jail. And congrats, it's a hell on earth, enjoy your stay. Have you lived the way we lived last 3 weeks? You surely haven't. She destroyed our education sector, and financial institution. So no, we don't want her, nor any dictator.
