Scum of the earth

A murdering dictator cannot function by himself. He needs an army of minions to function for him. A dictator very rarely does the killing himself, there's those who torture for him, those who execute for him, those who accuse in spy reports for him, those who turn the prison key for him... Thousands and thousands participate in this huge intricate structure in the name of power, money, religion, patriotism or just for the fun of it.

When a culture of a land is changed such that murdering is justified, Law is not justice, where every person is afraid of their neighbour, or even their children for reporting them to the authorties, where you are even afraid to think in case the mumbles in your sleep will incriminate you.

For one man to rule a land in his idea of butchery is one thing, as he may be mad, sick, crazy....but for thousands to follow in his path and help him become the monster he wants to be is another point altogether.
