What is the Worst Thing in the World?

[The Archregimancy]

Actually, this is the absolute and actual worst thing in the world:

The moment when you realise that your parents are not infallible, and that perhaps protesting pride every year and giving your entire savings to an organisation that lies to women so they don't have abortions is not always the right thing to do. Especially if you are twelve years old.

Or, to summarise, parents. Parents are the worst thing in the world.

This Be The Verse
Philip Larkin

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

[Reikoku]

The fact that you compare Suicide with Kamikaze Attacks shows how much ignorant you are. They are two entirely different phenomena.

Suicide and Kamikaze Attacks are not the same thing.

In Wahhabism and sects influenced by it? Perhaps not. In the rest of Islam? They generally are.

In Shinto, they were explicitly religious during World War II, at least so far as anything could be in Shinto. The term means "divine wind." That doesn't strike me as profoundly atheistic.

The units were officially called the Tokubetsu Kōgekitai (Special Attack Force). While their unofficial name had some religious undertones, a quick overview would reveal that their religious beliefs differed depending on the pilot. Some absolutely believed in the existence of deities, others were Buddhist, Christian, or even atheist, their motivations for the attacks were equally diverse. In their letters, whenever Shintō beliefs are brought up, it is normally in the belief their spirits will remain in Yasukuni and their loved ones will be able to visit them, rather than supporting the kind of holy war you see in Wahabhism.

Libya, Libya is actually the worst thing in the world

Stupidity and leftism.

After today at work, I can officially say that one of the worst things in the world is when people clog public toilets.

With both number one and number two.

And you’re the one who’s stuck unclogging it.

And then you have to clean the toilet because there’s crap on the seat.

And the whole time you’re gagging and trying not to pass out.

The precipitous drop in value of rational thought and intelligence kinda sucks

Kindergarten cod soup or beetroot-ginger-tomato juice. I am not certain which one.

[Rockwellshire]

The German revolutions in 1919(Soviet Bavaria, Saxony, Berlin. Spartakus rebellion. Etc.)

Or the Holodomor.

Or the purposeful attack on the U.S.S Liberty by our "greatest ally"(read enemy)

[Las Palmeras]

I don't like a lot of things, but here's the top of the list:

A long tooth extraction when the anesthesia didn't kick in too well.
Having to file out papers.
Dipshits who beep their horns in slow traffic even if that won't change anything. And I say this because of their actions.

...If I had to pick, it'd be the tooth extraction gone wrong...

[Genivaria]

If we're going off of historical events, then remember that you're living in a world in which Tamerlane killed millions of innocent people, and An Lushan's treachery claimed as much as a sixth of the world's population at the time.

But sure, the torpedo thing was the worst, I guess.

Genghis Khan would technically be the worst if we're going by death counts as he also introduced the plagues and killing millions multiple times.

I put the revolutions of 1919 as the consequences of it directly led to WWII.

That's actually quite disputable. Both in terms of total death count and in terms of the proportion of the global population who died, there have likely been greater catastrophes. It's hard to say for sure because nobody knows exactly how many people Genghis killed. Estimates vary wildly, and depend on whether you include things like the Plague, which the Mongols contributed to spreading (not Genghis mind you, he was dead), but definitely didn't cause. Even in Kaffa where they attempted to spread it deliberately, it is more likely that the rats already in the holds of Black Sea ships are what actually did the trick.

Estimates of the An Lushan Rebellion vary wildly as well, but the high end estimates are actually higher then the Mongol conquests, proportionally speaking. The reason why I included it, however, was that it was caused by treachery. Which makes it abundantly clear how pathetically small the U.S.S Liberty attack is, even if both the Israeli and U.S. governments hadn't concluded that the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the ship's identity.

Lots of things led to WWII. The stuff that you seem to focus on paints a very clear portrait about you.

I personally think the worst thing in the world is unhappiness.

I would rather single out exploitation of people.

Everyone can agree that happiness is good

No. Happiness isn't necessarily good. Happiness is a feeling. If you feel happy because you're drugged into happiness while being raped, it isn't good.

Suffering is the worst thing in the world.

[Pope Joan]

Abuse.

It is hard to disagree with that.

I would add sneering classism or one-upmanship. As Chesterton said (or maybe C S Lewis) it is "The expression on the face of the man as he plants his boot on the neck of another."

Couldn't be truer for me. Normal parents are bad enough. Narcissistic parents are hell on earth

The idiots who comment trash on YouTube and National Geographic. They will definitely make you hate humanity.
