Mine is Henry Ford. He’s the catalyst of the 40 hour work week and 5 days a week that has been standard to the present day. Because we’re seeing now how little that really does for anyone anymore, where people are having to sacrifice more of their freedom to work second jobs or more hours than they should.
I don’t think it’s his fault directly for those reasons, but him thinking the 40 hour/5 day a week plan is a good one is just a poor reading into the future with the way it’s gone since the establishment.
Columbus, its personal, I just want to beat the shit out of him
You’re from the Caribbean?
I have a passion for mesoamerican history and art
Yeah… so much history lost because of that fucker.
Not a single person in this thread who says Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.
Nobody would risk that fucker coming back for anything.
I think he’s maybe just too obvious a choice and people are trying to be more creative in their answer.
Also, could the harm Hitler caused truly be inflicted back on his physical form? It seems to me like there is no way he could truly pay for what he’d done (if he were to live again).
Hitler is the kind of person you’d revive, kill again and revive to kill again until he hits the number of holocaust victims. No one single solitary death is sufficient enough.
That goes for any other leader that has allowed their citizens to die or even allowed their soldiers to die recklessly.
Every victim gets to kick his nuts once every 2 hours and he can be tortured until loosing consiousness and then he gets a cooldown to recover until death?
Not mentioning Mussolini, Unit 731, Churchill alogn with Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.
No one. There’d not really any point I can think of to “punish” them at this point except satisfying some creepy, sadistic sense of “justice”.
The best punishment is undoing their damage and teaching their sins to future generations as a warning.
And using their Graves as a gender neutral bathroom when we wanna scratch the sadistic justice itch
Counterpoint: dictators that died in their beds because of course they couldn’t be prosecuted under their own regime and have them undergo fair trial. Bonus points if their victims are still alive so they can get some closure. Spain’s Franco comes to mind.
King James. His persecution of women caused centuries of problems
Can you explain more why you think Ford’s 40hr week is bad?
I thought it represented a pretty marked improvement compared to typical job requirements at the time?
Ford is no hero. A documented anti-semite with lots of other bad takes, but I am not clear on why you would pick his working hours as the thing to highlight.
Well, as I’ve said, he made that idea up in a time where it made sense and did well for it’s time. But it started to not be a feasible system every turn of the decade and by the time we’ve reached the 2000s, the idea simply isn’t cutting it anymore. Moreso in today’s time.
A lot of ideas that were made in the early 1900s through the 50s came about in a time where it made sense and did well, least for a while. But many variables since then just diminished it’s use. People aren’t making as much in 40 hours than they should and they aren’t making ends meet in those 5 days. People are expected now to have two jobs, more hours and no time for themselves or anyone around them.
Why is it his fault that in today’s society, the notion of a 40 hour work week is slowly becoming obsolete? Should we not celebrate the invention of the light bulb because LEDs are more efficient?
So his “crime” that you want to punish him for is that he improved things in a way that made sense in the context of his time instead of looking decades into the future and forcing a drastic change immediately long before society was anywhere near ready for it? Seriously?
I thought it represented a pretty marked improvement compared to typical job requirements at the time?
To answer your question as written - based only on context - yes, you did think that.
Henry Kissinger. Whenever you needed the most depraved, amoral, anti-democratic take on anything, whether it was the Vietnam war or the Khmer Rouge or the civil rights movement, you could always count on Henry farking Kissinger.
I have a celebratory drink every time I remember he’s dead, I don’t care what else I’m doing, it can wait
For decades I was always surprised he was still alive. He seemed to live forever commenting on foreign policy. Just saw your post and was surprised he had died.
I’m going to go with Leopold II of Belgium because of the atrocities this fucker unleashed upon the democratic republic of the Kongo.
Kissinger also come to mind, but he’s not been dead long enough to be brought back yet, I think I’ll leave that fucker to a generation that doesn’t get hypertension just hearing the name.
Fucking Reagan.
Superb choice.
Sorry, I gotta take a piss… where you at?
Thatcher too while we’re at it.
I would have, but I was only allowed one choice. Of the two, globally, Regan did more harm.
we can’t get her, after she died the entire population of the UK north dug a ditch so deep to hand deliver her to Satan himself.
Churchill
What the fuck did Churchill do?
Bengal famine off the top of my head
And put him on an island! Climbing a tree for coconuts! I didn’t even have to click the link :)
You’re gonna bring them back and send them to paradise?
Sean Lock everybody!
Phylis Schlafly, one of the main architects behind the modern religious right controlled GOP.
Reading more on her and wow, she’s a piece of work. What a turd. She’s not even conservative, but reactionary.
How did she get that reactionary in the first place? At least she died of cancer. That’s good. But she should have died earlier.
One of the greatest political operatives of the 20th century, in terms of how widespread her horrifying legacy is. She only cosplayed as a frumpy housewife all while trying to lock the US an eternal fictionalized version of the 1950s.
What did you think of the Hulu series?
Sorrey I missed your question about her radicalization.
It stemmed from separation anxiety due to her mother working while she was young. Which metastasized into a hatred of women in the workforce. Ironic given how much she worked with men who viewed her as nothing more than a novelty, all while she crafted much of the modern GOP ethos.
No one, then being dead is enough
2nd indonesia president, soeharto.
Man, a hard choice here.
I’ll go with Columbus.
and you’re so horrible that even your colonialist home is like “dude are you fucking crazy”
Facts.
Nixon
How is he worse than Reagan?
