Top 10 People Who Most Changed Our World for the Worse
Hitler's extreme ideology and aggressive foreign policies led to the eruption of World War II, resulting in the death of millions and widespread destruction across Europe. His horrific genocide, the Holocaust, resulted in the systematic extermination of six million Jews. His reign continues to symbolize the extreme dangers of unchecked totalitarianism. If you think what Hitler did is no longer important, I am shocked and appalled at what kind of education/brainwashing you must be getting.
He is the worst person of all time!
As the founder of Al-Qaeda, bin Laden orchestrated numerous terrorist attacks worldwide, most notably the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001. These acts of terrorism claimed thousands of lives, fostered hatred, and instigated enduring conflicts and wars. He caused 9/11 and magnified Middle Eastern and US-Afghanistan tensions greatly. He has most negatively affected today's world.
He is evil. Not as bad as Hitler, but still evil. He is a disgusting excuse for a human.
Yes, he caused 9/11 and killed many innocent people, but who gave him those weapons and supplies to cause 9/11 and kill people? The U.S. and the U.K. Osama bin Laden fought in Afghanistan, and everyone thought he was a hero. The United States and the United Kingdom gave him money. That money was used to kill innocents and for 9/11.
As Chairman of the People's Republic of China, Mao's policies, such as the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, led to famine, social upheaval, and countless deaths. His totalitarian rule suppressed personal freedoms and stifled intellectual diversity, leaving a lasting negative impact on Chinese society.
Stalin's reign over the Soviet Union was marked by ruthless purges, widespread surveillance, severe famine, and immense political repression. His actions resulted in the death and suffering of millions of his own people. His authoritarian model of governance left a long-lasting imprint on Russian politics and society. We know how many people Hitler killed because he kept detailed documents. Stalin didn't keep documents. He erased people from existence. We don't know how many people he killed because he made sure no evidence of his political opponents, and all remotely connected to them, was erased.
We're still trying to figure out just how many millions of people this man killed, starved, imprisoned, or worked to death.
Why is he lower than Trump? I don't personally like Trump, but putting him above a genocidal dictator is illogical.
Putin's extended rule over Russia has been marked by allegations of widespread corruption, human rights abuses, and suppression of political dissent. His aggressive foreign policies, including the annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, have fostered instability and conflict in various regions.
As Uganda's President, Amin's rule was characterized by gross human rights abuses, political repression, and corruption. His regime was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 300,000 civilians, leaving a deep scar on Uganda's national history. He didn't have that much of an effect outside of his home country of Uganda, although I'll hand it to him that he is a jackass.
Oswald dramatically altered American history by assassinating President John F. Kennedy in 1963. His actions resulted in a profound national shock and greatly contributed to the climate of unrest and division in the turbulent years that followed. How is he lower than Trump? He KILLED the president. Trump didn't kill anyone.
As President of the United States, Trump's controversial policies and statements often led to political polarization and social unrest. His handling of issues related to immigration, racial justice, and climate change drew global criticism. His approach to the COVID-19 pandemic was also widely criticized for exacerbating the crisis. The biggest moronic cretin to have ever stained the reputation of the Oval Office by far. Worse than anyone else on your list. If not yet, he will be.
The new Hitler! If this man becomes president, he will start a third world war for sure. He's going to destroy Europe and the United States with his irrational ideas. I hope you Americans (I'm from Europe) will realize how crazy this person really is. This man is dangerous if we don't look out.
He thinks he can control the world just because he's the US president. He makes up stuff about different groups, including Muslims, to get his way. And he makes these promises that are too big to be true.
Sorry Republicans, that wall's not happening.
The former NFL player's high-profile murder trial and subsequent legal troubles brought issues of race, celebrity, and justice into sharp public focus in a way that often deepened divisions and incited controversy.
The professional football player's career was marred by his involvement in illegal dog fighting rings. His actions led to widespread outrage, casting a dark shadow over his athletic achievements and highlighting issues of animal cruelty in the sports world. I hate this guy! If I see him, I'd give him a big punch in the face.
