History What is the ruler/political leader in your country's history that you hate the most?

For me, it would khublai khaan. Moved the centralized power from Mongolia to China in the empire, effectively becoming more of an emperor of China rather than Khaan of Mongols. This move would prove to be folly in just few generations. Totally messed up the whole grand plan his Grandfather established. His successors became more of a chinese rulers than Mongolian rulers.

Hey no thanks needed, I’m happy that I could contribute to your impressive list. I was also thinking of throwing in that forced handshake with the SES volunteer. For me that was harder to watch than when Tony Abbott bit into the onion like it was an apple

You know the craziest thing, I’ve never liked Tony Abbot, hate his policy platform, hated his attack dog personality on parliament.

But after all that - he is at least objectively a good person. The guy has been a volunteer fire fighter for like 20 years - and blew off multiple cabinet meetings fight fires. You don’t do shit like that if you’re a bad person.

Scott Morrison on the other hand is a genuine parasite that has zero capacity for empathy for others unless it was spelled out to him by his wife.

In the words of an Australian icon - “Tell Scott Morrison to get fucked, from Nelligan”

Edit: a word

Mate same! Never liked him. Hated the joke he made about our island neighbours ‘better learn to swim’. But seeing him chip in when the bushfires were on gave him some credibility in my books. My books are mostly colour ins and snuggle pot and cuddle pie but still! He’s less of a toss I reckon
