My husband and I were having a discussion and there were a lot of candidates!!

Who is the most despicable human in the world right now?

Either Ben Gvir or Netanyahu

Who cares?

There's always going to be monstrous leaders somewhere in the world and they will be male.

Naming them is irrelevant.

Better to understand how to support systems that prevent abuse of power wherever it is.

I bet you’re fun at parties.

Netenyahu, by far, and it’s quite depressing that a man who is heading a genocide isn’t being named more of this thread.

Can't choose between Putin and Trump. They're both dangerous and despicable in different ways.

Elon musk is a candidate

Why?

FirmSnake · Today 10:36

Trump.
He is currently enabling all the other horrible men.

EponymousEponine · Today 10:37

Peter Thiel

Any senior member of the Taliban.

If you were to expand this to the top 100 we’d be in with a shot…..

Coconutter24 · Today 10:39

In the public presence I’d say Kim Jong-un but I can guarantee there will be far worse people out there who have done the most unthinkable crimes ands murders that we are unaware of

Surprisingly so.

Shame you didn't get the invite.

You could argue all the idiots that voted them into power. Or do nothing about them. Difficult in some countries I know. People just disappear.
But large numbers of the population do have to take some responsibility for the horrors that are in charge.
I cannot forgive the Americans ( I realise many did not vote for him) for Trump. The man is an international and national disaster.

Anyone naming Farage, Trump, Musk etc has absolutely no understanding of what evil really is.

You should consider yourself lucky to be so ignorant.

Agree. The responses of a child living in their own little bubble.

🤣

Yes, far more "fun" to spend a party talking about evil, abusive, rapist men

What kind of weird arse parties do you go to?

What is your criteria? Who do you nominate.

LauderSyme · Today 10:48

Coconutter24 · Today 10:35

Why?

He's a white supremacist who believes billionaires should be ruler-kings whilst everyone else should be serfs.

He was singlehandedly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people by peremptorily cancelling USAID via DOGE.

He believes our planet and it's resources exist purely to be exploited for profit and 'glory' by the likes of himself.

That's just for starters...

SamTR1 · Today 10:50

Tony Blair

BelleEpoque27 · Today 10:51

Whoever it is that's funding Trump et al. is up there. I don't know who that is - Putin? Netenyahu? Someone else living in the shadows?

Trump is just a stupid old man who doesn't care about anything except money. The world will be a far better place when he's gone, but it won't solve anything because he's not the driving force, he's just the face of the cult.

Well if we define what "evil" is (which is tricky for a start) I think we should look at actions.

Murder is an action that most people think is evil. Its killing someone intentionally. So we can judge a single murderer like Wayne Couzens as evil.

Or as we are looking for the most evil person alive in the world we may have to look at numbers murdered under the orders of a dictator (so while they may not physically murder someone, its hard to refuse to carry out orders) we could judge Putin (currently feeding his population into the meat grinder) or Kim Jong Un. I think Kim Jong Un is the most evil as he has subjugated his population to terror and seems to murder on a whim in the cruelest way (cf anti aircraft gun).

Why?

Because someone that rich should be sending a message about using wealth to do good. If that is his message and us idiot ignorant children in our bubbles have missed it, he needs to say it louder and show a public humane response to things like his Teslas locking people in and setting on fire so they burn to death and deny his links to fascist politics.

A toss up between Putin, Trump, Farage and my ex husband.

😂😂😂

Purplecatshopaholic · Today 10:59

Yup, agree with the names here, and no doubt there’s plenty more where they came from. Sadly.

Whynottryagain · Today 11:01

I think some of the people listed are repulsive and terrible leaders, but we only know of them because they happen to be in power. If they weren't, I don't think they'd win.

Someone like Denis Rader? But I imagine there are loads of psycho serial killers who could qualify, many of whom haven't been caught yet.

Depends how you measure evil. Sheer amount of pain and misery caused or facilitated? A serial killer isnt going to come close.
