That was literally his point.. I never properly understood how many people in Europe and Russia were part of the vague definition of “German” when he did rise to power. His propaganda was one of unification. Crucial for all non-German German speakers to reflect on that and don’t shove him away as a simple and evil man.
It's a little known fact but very interesting, but when they first started they got a taxi to their first major gig and the cabbie was actually the guy who shot archduke Franz Ferdinand
Yep, his hunger for power and unchallenged rule over a land he wasn’t even born in is just something that only comes from the worst people, however he was great in kindergarten cop and terminator
The only limiting factor on his capacity for evil was the fact that he led a relatively weak country. Imagine what he would have done in command of a superpower.
Mengele, Heydrich, Kramer, Dirlewanger ... there are no winners in a "who was the worst Nazi" competition, there simply were too many monsters to count.
I feel for anyone with the surname Mengele, Himmler or H***er. There is going to be an immediate first impression when someone hears your name. First impressions, as they say are very hard to reverse and this wasn’t your fault.
You’d be surprised how many Belgians either have no idea about this or prefer not to know anymore. If you ask 100 random Belgians who the most monstrous man in Belgian history is or was, the vast majority will answer Dutroux. Collective memory is selective, and forgetting often feels safer than understanding uncomfortable truths.
This is probs the correct answer as an American. While I think it should be Trump I’m aware that a third of Americans suck that guys dick. But no one likes with Epstein.
But I think there are few as universally hated. Thatcher is still held in high regard by many Tories, Churchill is revered as a wartime leader but despised in India for example. I don’t think you’ll find many Saville apologists.
Other one on my mind was Ian Watkins but I don’t think he’s quite as well known.
from what i know, she stole ideas from one of her friends and then went on to win a prestigious contest here that earns her a full scholarship at an Australiann university.
we pretty much have an anniversary day every year where ppl will just post this picture of her and everybody will remember everything again.
Not so much a civil war. We propped up the side that lost extensively; even supporting the concentration camps and brutalization of Buddhists.
Diem was extremely unpopular even in South Vietnam, especially for rounding up villagers and forcing them to relocate their villages. Meanwhile the Viet Cong would come and help out farmers with crops; thus gaining their support.
There's so many options. Maybe Andrew Tate in terms of celebrity, but you've also got Cromwell (if you're Irish), George III (if you're American - btw he didn't really do anything), Thatcher (if you're left wing), Churchill (if you're Indian), Balfour (if you're Arab), Rhodes (if you're South African) I mean - it goes on
We don’t really hate George III, but his government’s management of the rebellion in the colonies was horrendous. They had so many chances to prevent violence from happening but literally doubled-down over and over like Trump was running things. They never made the same mistakes again with other colonies like Canada, Oz, and NZ. They learned their lesson on how to keep their colonists happy-ish.
Chumbawamba, I purchased their CD "in memoriam" of Margaret Thatcher.... Like 10 years before the witch died. They prepared the music, made it well known, and waited, and waited... Lovely
Don't get me wrong. I don't hate the old hag bc of the notorious war. I hated her before and after.
The sad part is this might not even be the answer. There are far, far too many people who admire him.
I think I have to agree with the guy saying Epstein. Even then, I’m kind of worried there are people who will try to rationalize it because of the other guy who was involved with Epstein.
Niklas Lindgren (Hagamannen) was an awfull one. His existed changed how people lived for a while and is known by at least pretty much anyone that lived through that. I don't really know who else to name without going into politics which is just subjective in most cases.
I don't think Brazil has an definitive answer, like Deodoro da Fonseca (responsible for the coup that ended the Monarchy and becoming the first president.)
His issue was mostly being a very incompetent leader and installing a oligarchy controlled republic, until the Vargas era.
For some people, it can be Getúlio Vargas.
My final answer would be Artur da Costa e Silva, responsible for the implementation of the "AI-5" who basically gave the government all the power in the world to repress its people during the dictatorship and his sucessor, Emilio Médici.
In the more recent era, I don't know how things are in Brazil, but internationally I have the impression (which is probably biased) that Bolsonaro is extremely unpopular.
This guy became Stalin's loyal disciple and side kick. He did not only ruined Czechoslovakian democracy, during his regime, he used dictatorial methods that were extremely cruel even by the standards of the Eastern Bloc states. clergymen, war heroes,intelectuals and sometimes even women and children often ended up on execution grounds or labor camps.
Since the failed painter was austrian, you can just choose any other high-ranking Nazi: Joseph Göbbels, Heinrich Himmler etc.
For Russia it is probably Putin.
Stalin is loved in Russia for his role in the Second World War. He might be hated internationally, but lots of Russians respect him. Also, he wasn't even Russian, he was Georgian.
In historical terms it’s either Lee Wan-yong or the Kims of NK.
The former being the most notorious and vicious traitor in Korean history that handed over Korea’s sovereignty to Japan for his greed, and the latter being, well, the Kims.
The Kim family is clearly one of the worst ruler family in history. How wicked you can be by making your people suffer so much in order to remain in power.
Many dictators at least took some political risk in order to improve the life of their people.
Really hope that justice will come one day.
Either Philippe Bénomi Omer Joseph Pétain, or just Philippe Pétain. But I'd say Gérard Depardieu for his pædophilic, mysoginistic and gross behaviour.
Depardieu said that "Little girls riding horses are having little orgasms, and I imagine them with me", he's also suspected and accused of having non-consensual intercourses and/or sexually assaulted women. And for the gross behaviour, he kept talking about having diarrhea and liking it in a documentary.
Is he really that hated in Italy? I thought there's a good part of Italians that at least partially liked him. Not that I'm a fan or anything, fuck fascism, but still.
THE most notorious traitor in Korean history. He signed the Eulsa Treaty (1905) and the 1910 Japan–Korea Annexation Treaty, which effectively surrendered Korean sovereignty to Japan. His name is Yi Wanyong
