Is there such thing as a Card-Carrying Villain overlapping with Above Good and Evil?

Uh, I don't think so. Like a card carrying villain is evil and knows it.
Would Satanists be Real Life examples of a Card-Carrying Villain?

Card-Carrying Villain is a No Real Life Examples, Please! trope, so no.
Can Card-Carrying Villain be a Complete Monster? They're often perceived as a Dastardly Whiplash.

Yes, they can be.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
But how can they boast about their evilness without it sounding goofy?
By backing it up?

Is it really reasonable to remove Real Life examples when there were never any flame wars or Natter on the page (and likely never would be)? Is it just because it's a Villain Trope? Why not give it a chance?

Plus, this trope is about people who believe and announce that they are evil. I would imagine that last part would keep people from making frivolous claims like, "Abraham Lincoln is a good example of card-carrying evil." Just for the fact that unless a person states "I'm eeeeevil!" or something similar, its not this trope.

I Agree. This site is beginning to worry a lot more about who they -might- offend, and this trope wouldn't (and didn't) attract assholes hating or glorifying someone. Stalin's quote, for example, was a perfect illustration of how this kind of thinking has been used.
...not sure what to put here, really.
Somebody outright calling oneself EVIL and not really trying to excuse their actions, wouldn't be offended by being called Card Carrying Villains.

You'll have to ask here
.
I'd like to dipute the claim that people beleiving humans are bastards fit this trope. Many of them are simply true neutral, NOT EVIL, and even the very worst of them belong on the jerkass or Well Intentioned Extremist page, not here. Putting them here is as asinine as putting the WI Extremist examples under the complete monster page. Please never do anythibg that prickish again. Thanks.

This sounds like a case of removing it being Right for the Wrong Reasons. Although I haven't seen the removed example so I can't really comment.

Can a Card-Carrying Villain also be someone with Blue-and-Orange Morality?
