Which evil president died this year? (feddit.org)

submitted 2 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Earlier this year Lemmy celebrated the death of a president(or another very important person) who was known for enabling warcrimes in a war(I think it was either the Vietnam war or the Cambodia war) and therefore led to massive suffering. Sadly I forgot who it was. Does anyone of you know who I mean?

He wasn’t a president but Kissinger died and it was awesome.

I think it was very sad that Kissinger died... without being tried in the Hague.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

Kissinger died Nov 29, 2023 per web lookup. Maybe close enough? I'm sure there were some this year too. I just can't name any offhand.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

That's exactly who I meant. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Oh didn't know that!

One of the people who will sit in the lava besides hitler mao and stalin if you believe that stuff IMO.

May we all have the pleasure of shitting on his grave one day.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

I think you mean Henry Kissinger

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

None yet. But that just increases the odds one might. We got ten days left to the Gregorian year.

It's been years, but every time I think of Chirac dying, it feels recent. Probably due to how much he displeases me even posthumously. He was ten times worse than Kissinger.
