Most controversial person in history

[Dogmeat]

Einstein didn’t work on the atom bomb. That was Oppenheimer.

And “millions” didn’t die because of the atom bomb.

Millions did die because of the aftermath, he helped with some of the research. I still stand true.

Are you writing this from after 2077?

[Greed and Death]

But Heidegger's girlfriend was Jewish.

Indeed Arendt was, and that's one of the weird contradictions about Heidegger's life that scholars still discuss today.

Likely a sociopath. Protected his gf because viewed her as useful, but booted Jewish lecturers because promotion.

[Mathuvan Union]

Millions did die because of the aftermath, he helped with some of the research. I still stand true.

I’m pretty sure the deaths were a quarter million. I’m also not sure how involved he was in the research, I think Oppenheimer’s research was simply based on Einstein’s, specifically about what destruction could come from an atomic weapon.

so, technically, it was all einstein.
from the radiation that lasted for decades onwards, I would say it would be over a million

who said humans? Yes, I'm backtracking, but a ton of wildlife kicked the bucket, too

I don’t think Einstein did any such research about how to actually make an atomic bomb.

Well, no. Because if Einstein is responsible for that, then the people who Einstein based is work off of are responsible for him, and it's not Einsteins fault. It ends up being the fault of Ug, who first made fire.

And no, the effects of that radiation have been intensely studied, and no estimates place the deaths over a million.

Really? You could say billions upon billions of microscopic organisms died too.

I studied them and changed them to prove my point

[West Reveria]

Winston Churchill.
He was key to the victory of the Allied Forces, and a great war hero in Britain. On the other hand, his actions killed millions of people in British India.

I think on some level you know that this is not worth responding to.

Ug did not make the first fire. It was Uk. Ug is like Edison, Uk is like Tesla

It's actually possible. He suffered a pretty devastating nervous breakdown after the war, but the cause of it is difficult to discern. It might have just been the possibility of losing his University career, rather than any guilt he suffered from his abhorrent treatment of his Jewish colleagues, that caused his breakdown.

[Mathuvan Union]

but didn't the clouds make fire because they caused the lightning strike which caused the fire?

[Somerania]

Albert Einstein.
caused the deaths of millions in his work with the Atomic Bomb.

Einstein didn’t work on the atom bomb. That was Oppenheimer.

And “millions” didn’t die because of the atom bomb.

The death toll was about 229k if I remember correctly

[Mathuvan Union]

my philosophy says otherwise.
I wouldn't say Oppenheimer was as bad because there were a lot of other scientists working on it, too

Not really. He came up with theories underlying the atomic reaction, but wasn’t a part of the Manhattan project. That’s like blaming firearm deaths on the ancient Chinese dude who invented gun powder.

And do you have a source for “millions”? I mean, even if the deaths of everyone who lived in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or worked on the Manhattan project or exposed to any other nuclear test could be attributed directly or indirectly to nuclear weapons, it might push one million. Do you have a source for more than that?

[Zunt]

No, it was Ut. Ut made fire. Uk and Ug stole the credit.

I am not winning this argument, so please quit godpiling on me

Your philosophy is not historically accurate and let's not forget that nuclear fission is now done in nuclear power plants to create energy and it is much safer than petroleum and coal if it is properly taken care of

We don't get chances to kick people while they are down so we will keep doing this to you

Sorry, I didn’t see the other responses before posting. gg.

[An Alan Smithee Nation]

Charles Darwin/Alfred Russel Wallace, though perhaps that is more controversial idea than person.

[Mathuvan Union]

no.

I will stand by my Werner Von Braun pick, though.

[Plum blossom]

Chuang Kai-shen,or should say-Jiang Jieshi,
I think at least belong one of the asia most controversial person.

[The Holy Therns]

The Blaatschapen. Has committed countless puns that should be classified as crimes against humanity, but on the other hand, so fluffy.

More seriously, I suppose Napoleon Bonaparte, Genghis Khan and Vladimir Lenin might all qualify as potential choices.
