For me, as much as I link posts about how utterly vile :my-hero: is (and he is), if he lacked the money and political power and reach that he did, he'd just be that one creepy asshole relative that steals other people's jokes and runs them into the ground and has recently found himself no longer invited to Thanksgiving, if you know what I mean.

In a different life, :trump-anguish: would just be a bumbling disaster of a human being with no one to prop him up when he falls over. He'd be a low-rolling fascist run of :tequila-sunset:

It's going to sound petty (because it is), but Alex Kurtzman is one such vile person to me. It isn't an appearance thing (though his perpetually smug smirk looks like a fist magnet), either. Almost everything he says is so remarkably arrogant and laden with unaccountable hubris that stacks up and up but no matter how many entertainment franchises he smears himself all over, often wrecking their long-term success in the process, he keeps getting more work and keeps getting richer. He doesn't do much actually tangible damage to society, hasn't physically harmed anyone as far as I know, but the only value he's ever had to me was that he made me aware of the concept of "failing upwards" when I was an initiate leftist. :disgost:

EDIT: Ron DeSant!s easily beats Kurtzman for vileness but maybe that's too obvious an answer, especially after recently reading about his torture-viewing giggle sessions.
