Less dangerous than two men on this list!
The top 10 finishes off with a three way tie: a former anti-gay bigot, a former austerity hawk, and a former climate change denier. FP literally gave them the spot for no longer being assholes. How do I get that gig?
Onward and upward.
#11 is a climate scientist, I think FP has been taken in by the hoax! Oh noes!
#12 Angela Merkel the Chancellor trying her damnedest to starve as many Greeks as possible. Good choice FP, it shows that you are indeed Very Serious about debt in various countries *nudge nudge wink wink*
Numbers 13 and 14 get you a longer rant! Hooray! Its Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu, who apparently, "Almost single-handedly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have wrenched the world's attention toward the apocalyptic potential of a nuclear Iran." Never mind the grammar of that sentence (two-people doing something single handedly ) its assertion isn't even true. People have been warning about a nuclear Iran since the mid-90s and the UN adopted a resolution telling Iran to halt its enrichment five years ago. Also please forget that there was serious discussion of a military strike on Iran during the Bush administration!
#14-16 are pretty boring, some more Israelis, the Fed, and Pussy Riot
#17 and 18 however are truly horrifying. "If Adm. William McRaven has turned hunting terrorists into an art form, Abraham Karem is the man who provided him with the paintbrush." That's right folks its the two men most responsible for our drone war! Imperialism forever! These two men have caused more civilian deaths between the two of them than the US infantry on the ground in Afghanistan. More American citizens have been killed by drone attacks in 2012 than shark attacks. That's right these men are more dangerous than wars and sharks put together!
#19 is two Syrian revolutionaries. Now we can get back to ignoring all the people killed there.
#20 Ends with Mario Draghi, yet another European determined to make Greeks suffer.
There's your Top 20 serious world thinkers, as determined by FP. Enjoy.
