Who from history would you bring back to make them punished for the wrongs that they brought onto the world?

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.

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.

dethedrus ,

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?

Fucking Reagan.

moistclump ,

Thatcher too while we’re at it.

T00l_shed ,

I would have, but I was only allowed one choice. Of the two, globally, Regan did more harm.

Nixon

How is he worse than Reagan?

dotslashme ,

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.

I know who Sean Lock would bring back.

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?

T00l_shed ,

Sean Lock everybody!

gloriousspearfish ,

You do know that his 40hours a week was a dramatic reduction in working hours compared to the norm at that time?

HobbitFoot ,

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.

@gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world avatar

he did.

*organized labor forced him to do.

cobysev ,

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.
