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.
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.
Lennart Poettering
Wait. Is this the start of the dark age of crumbling OS blobs, or the end? Can we still install apps or does it yet violate the terms of the microsoft agreement over linux?
Not a single person in this thread who says Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.
Nobody would risk that fucker coming back for anything.
Not mentioning Mussolini, Unit 731, Churchill alogn with Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.
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?
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!
Woodrow Wilson
You do know that his 40hours a week was a dramatic reduction in working hours compared to the norm at that time?
Yeah. There are a lot of reasons to give Henry Ford shit, but the 40 hour workweek was one of the better things he did.
he did.
*organized labor forced him to do.
Nope, he did this one himself. The reason? His employees spent so much time at the factory, they didn’t have time to actually buy his cars.
Yes, he improved working conditions to make a profit on his cars. A selfish reason, but it inadvertently helped us all.
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.
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”.
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.
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
Churchill
What the fuck did Churchill do?
Bengal famine off the top of my head
Fucking Reagan.
Superb choice.
Sorry, I gotta take a piss… where you at?
Thatcher too while we’re at it.
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.
I would have, but I was only allowed one choice. Of the two, globally, Regan did more harm.
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.
Nixon
How is he worse than Reagan?
Thomas Midgley Jr. (leaded petrol, CFCs, lots of deaths at the “ethyl” factory)
“[He] had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth’s history”
That fish that crawled onto land and spawned humanity.
Hell yeah let’s beat it like a piñata
I bet that’s what the bigger fish were doing to it and why it crawled out in the first place.
we just need to bully that nerd fish back into water
Yes exactly, we need to be more unpleasant than the bigger fish in the water were being, and in so doing save humanity.
