Not in a great man theory sort of way, but who would you say is the worst living human today? Sometimes I get too bogged down with thinking about our issues as systematic and forget that all policy has someone signing off on it and that got me thinking and I've arrived at Bill Gates. With his work in Africa, how he ruined computers for the world, and the Epstein ties I'd say he's gotta at least be up there.
Groups are more apt for this type of question, but if there's one individual that turns up when talking about JFK's assassination, both sidesing the Cuban revolution, Vietnam's Phoenix program, Operation Condor in LATAM, MK Ultra, the coverup of pedophilic conspiracies, Iraq v Iran, Iran v Iraq, Israel v Iran/Iraq, rat lines and the funneling of weapons to Pakistan to genocide eastwards, and much more, it has to be George HW Bush. People will say Kissinger, but HW crystalized the WASP takeover of the world via neoliberal hegemony. Everything since has flowed downstream of those events.
Like it's mind boggling to think just how much Iran-Contra continues to be an influence to this day (the militarization of police is a direct result), and the various financial and physical corpses that have been laid strewn in its path over the decades. It isn't for no reason that HW plausibly "fell on the sword" by not running for a second term so that the Iran-Contra would be buried, and also why Bush the Younger sealed all clandestine activity from those decades.
agree with your choice, but HW did run for a second term
Yes you're right. Should have clarified that the counsel overseeing the Iran-Contra affair at the time indicted Bush, and played a role in him losing. He never stopped being salty about it basically sinking his campaign. The pardons to others implicated came soon afterwards, via the work of Barr
Also I didn't realize this was talking about living people. Ignore my post
But I guess since Bush W is inextricably linked to his father, maybe we can make an exception for possession beyond the grave. But of course Kissinger is still alive
