Proportionally?
Not sure that holds unless a larger population makes folk more likely to be "bad"
- there might be more of them in a big population; but they're a proportion of a bigger set

Oops. You are correct.

Correspondingly? Sorry, and I work in a scientific discipline, so there is no excuse. I meant twice as many "bad" people as there were when the world population was half what it is now. More "bad" people now than there were in the past.

Don't worry... As a result I've been wondering what might influence the proportion of "bad"

I wonder what proportions of the heavily indoctrinated soldiers and audience go home to their family and say:
- isn't our Great Leader and Supreme Commander WONDERFUL (a la Orwell's "I love Big Brother")
vs
- whew, glad that's over. All this daft clapping and deference to a fat chap who thinks he is God
