I just cracked my first beer of my life in a world without that ghoul drawing breath he doesnt deserve. Rest in piss asshole
Sadly though, there is a long line of similar people, some born right now some not even born yet but they are coming. Have a few more beers to numb that reality.
“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.”
-Anthony Bourdain
What a great day for America. All I have to ask now, who’s the worst person alive? It’s always been an easy question to answer for me. Is Kissinger still alive? Well then him. But now? What do I say?
Well Rupert Murdoch’s still alive, so probably him.
His son is a Nazi and is in control. Rupert dying changes nothing
Practically? Correct. Scoreboard of worst people living? It would definitely shift things.
McConnell or Murdoch are the most destructive, though I see them more as amoral and self-interested than morally evil.
There are plenty of people who “represent everything wrong with America/the world” but again, I think those are opportunists just working for self interest.
I’m not sure I could come up with who is today’s Moloch.
Putin
People listing people like Trump or Mitch McConnell might want to check their privilege. Actual mass murderers like Putin still walk free.
McConnell is my choice. His policies have led to the deaths of millions over the course of his career.
- The strategist behind our current SCOTUS conservative super majority. Roe V Wade NEVER would have been overturned without his meddling and influence peddling.
- LITERALLY leading a right wing conspiracy of rich people and powerful politicians with the goal of taking over the government.
- Working on a new project to “apply the strategies that have worked so well to advance the conservative political and judicial cause to reshape all of American culture and society.”
Koch Bros surely rank, given their bankrolling of a lot of this fascist fuckery.
Happily, only one of them is alive. David Koch died 4 years ago 🥳
Oh right. Rot in hell, Koch. Other Koch: what’s the hold up?
Murdoch?
Trump?
Dick Cheney?
🥳🎉🥂
Congratulations to the winner(s) of the tontine!
This is freaky, people were posting on Lemmy only about 2 or 3 days ago about how they wished he’d hurry up and cark it and someone posted that same picture of Lenny from the Simpsons with 0 days of life without Kissinger. Was there some sign that he was on the edge particularly or was this just a weird coincidence? I know he was old, but he seemed to be taking some kind of elixir or something that had sustained him all this time.
people were posting on Lemmy only about 2 or 3 days ago
this is a meme so common that, for years, there’s been a comic of death standing next to a claw machine saying “is kissinger even in this thing?” that gets posted every time someone less evil than him dies.
https://lemmy.world/post/8946908 it’s been updated!
People have been hoping upon hope for his death for 50 years, today just happened to be the lucky day
There’s 300m people in USA, it’s not at all unlikely that many people each day wish someone as well known as this cunt was dead.
Yes but it was many people, and especially specifically that Lenny meme that is now being posted again with a “1”. I thought maybe he has some health problems or something.
I mean he was 100, literally sneaked in death’s door and somehow went unnoticed in the hallway for a time.
I’m gonna have to figure out a new way to end my nightly prayers
To his long delayed demise I will be momentarily raising a glass of some well aged year old scotch blend I’ve been waiting to finish.
Rot in hell you fucking monster.
Just saw a meme this morning asking why he wasn’t dead yet lol
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Instead, in a demonstration of why he was able to kill so many people and get away with it, the day of his passage will be a solemn one in Congress and – shamefully, since Kissinger had reporters like CBS’ Marvin Kalb and the New York Times‘ Hendrick Smith wiretapped – newsrooms.
Kissinger, a refugee from the Nazis who became a pedigreed member of the “Eastern Establishment” Nixon hated, was a practitioner of American greatness, and so the press lionized him as the cold-blooded genius who restored America’s prestige from the agony of Vietnam.
It was this sort of unacceptable policy that prompted Kissinger to remark, during an intelligence meeting about two months before Allende’s election, “I don’t see why we need to stand idly by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people.”
As Corey Robin has documented, Friedrich von Hayek’s neoliberal Mont Pelerin Society held a 1981 meeting in the very city where the junta plotted the replacement of democratic socialism with a harbinger of today’s global economic order.
Five days later, a car bomb emplaced by Pinochet’s agents detonated along Washington D.C.’s Embassy Row, killing Orlando Letelier, Allende’s foreign minister, and his American co-worker, Ronni Moffitt.
The Vietnamese guerilla and justice minister Truong Nhu Tang writes in his Viet Cong Memoir that Kissinger, whose intellect he praises, “inherited a conceptual framework from his American and French predecessors…that led him to disaster.”
