Somehow I don't see "I want to make the world a worse place for everyone" as an idea that's going to gain a lot of traction in society at large.

I don't either.

"I want to make the world a worse place for everyone" isn't something I was advocating
if "I want to make the world a worse place for everyone" was something I cared about, I wouldn't be dissuaded by how much traction it would gain in society at large.
I like living in a place where people have the right to work to make the world a worse place for everyone, within reasonable limits.
You fail at logic (see Alicorn's comment).
