In short, you will never change anything in the present, because it already happened.
everything you’ve wanted to go back and change has already been changed by you, you going back doesn’t change anything, because it already happened, you’re just tying up and completing the paradox.
There wouldn’t be anyone for you to go back and kill because if you did and succeeded they wouldn’t even be alive when you decided to go back. E.g. let’s say you wanted to kill Hitler (he’s already dead) All you’ve done is one of the failed assasination attempts. And it’s only now you realise that was you.
Or you killed Klara Hitler’s boy in the cradle whom she would have taught love and kindness to. Lost to recorded history, she adopts a new boy, because evidence of a random (at the time) woman adopting a kid can easily be lost. Now she’s got a chip on her shoulder, and she raises her new son with one goal…
You forgot the third possible “outcome”.

Congrats, you are the cause of Hitler.
