God
If he's real (I don't think so)
Reagan and Thatcher.
they wouldn't care unless you literally did a Christmas Carol-esque past/present/future consequence tale with them. They have enough fans here in the present to shield them from guilt.
Not a single person in this thread who says Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.
Not mentioning Mussolini, Unit 731, Churchill alogn with Hitler? Kind of disturbing tbh.
Lets not forget Pol Pot
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?
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
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?
No one, then being dead is enough
Donald Trump.
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
at first I chuckled because I thought that was a coy euthamism for beating the shit out of someone, until I realise you were just answering the question
Yeah... so much history lost because of that fucker.
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 heβs dead, I donβt care what else Iβm 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.
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.
King James. His persecution of women caused centuries of problems
