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.
Donald Trump.
Churchill
What the fuck did Churchill do?
Bengal famine off the top of my head
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?
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.
He paid his workers well enough that a majority of them could buy his cars?
Productivity reduction(or more likely accidents due to tired workers) might be relevant.
No one, then being dead is enough
Fucking Reagan.
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.
Superb choice.
Sorry, I gotta take a piss… where you at?
2nd indonesia president, soeharto.
Nixon
How is he worse than Reagan?
Hmm… on second thought, Reagan.
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

Not a single person in this thread who says 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).
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?
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.
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.
Henry Fucking War Crimes Kissinger
He lived a long life and died peacefully, thinking he got away with it all. That only means bringing him back for punishment would be the perfect surprise of an afterlifetime.
Solid choice.
I’ve been reading a book about the Theranos scam and learned he was on their Board of Directors, and it made me a little happy to know that, at least, he got taken in by a con woman and lost a shit ton of money.
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.
Edmund Barton.
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.
The Dulles brothers, Ronald Reagan, ALL billionaires, George Bush Sr., Joe Lieberman, Ben Netanyahu, Henry Kissinger, Hillary and Bill Clinton, David Brock, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, George W.
