2. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Motherf***** grew to HATE Sherlock Holmes and was glad to kill him off. In fact, given this quote by him: If in 100 years I am only known as the man who invented Sherlock Holmes then I will have considered my life a failure. He’s probably the worlds first perpetual motion machine.

16. Nietzsche. He is known as the “godfather of fascism” and linked to Nazism, when his actual philosophy was counter to so much that those ideologies stood for.
His core idea is the power of the individual to make his/her own destiny, which runs completely counter to totalitarian regimes’ main goal of controlling their people.

18. Andrew Jackson
He spent his presidency (1829-1837) getting rid of the previous private central bank, The Second Bank of the United States, which he deemed “A den of vipers”, only to have another reappear in 1913 and put his face on its $20 Federal Reserve Note as a poetic “fuck you.”

19. Steve Irwin. He taught everyone no matter how scary or weird, all animals are our friends. He made tarantulas look like puppy dogs, rattle snakes look like your friendly neighborhood resident, and now animal planet, his kingdom, has gone to shit. The shows invoke fear of misunderstood creatures or don’t even teach you about animals at all. Animal planet sickens me now.
