The Three Chinamen

Genghis Khan....Genocidal ruler.   Ruthless leader of the Mongel Army . Conquered , raped and pillaged hundreds of cities and villages...indiscriminately slaying children, women and men . Killing off nearly 5% of the world's population.  Master of psychological warfare, using fear and terrorism. Orchestrating horrifying massacres and wholesale destruction  to conquer and subdue.


Kublai Khan .
 Most successful Mongol Leader and the grandson of Genghis Khan. Founder of the Yuan Dynasty in 13th-century China. The success of Mongol tactics hinged on fear: to induce capitulation amongst enemy populations. From the perspective of modern theories of international relations,  "Perhaps terrorism produced a fear that immobilized and incapacitated the forces that would have resisted."The Mongol strategy of "surrender or die" still recognized that conquest by capitulation was more desirable than being forced to continually expend soldiers, food, and money to fight every army and sack every town and city along the campaign's route.


Gung Ho.
 This more contemporary Chinamen is perhaps just as  dangerous!   Found often in the workplace ..unthinkingly enthusiastic and eager, especially likes to take part in fighting or even a kind of conquering warfare. Filled with lustful delusions of grandeur.... attempting to establish the workplace as his own  personal kingdom. Willfull indignance and belittling humiliations are his weapons of choice...producing a fear that immobilizes and incapacitates the workforces that might have impeded his illustrious and stellar climb to the very tippety-top of his two-foot corporate ladder!    

We all know this Chinaman. Though he is seldom Chinese,  he deserves  to be held with the best of them in disgraceful recognition .
