Obviously excluding like Hitler, that’s a gimme.

Can be a good or a bad person.

My vote goes to Churchill or Reagan. Absolutely ignorant people of history.

    Pinochet.

    Hitler-stans are all "well ackshully, the holocaust never happened", but Pinochet-stans are all "everything he did was cool and good and he should have done more of it", so they actually manage to be worse.

      these people are real. I was at a recruitment event once and everyone had to prepare a speech on literally any subject, to a group of mostly strangers, and one dude gave a speech on Pinochet. Fucking nuts, no one had any reaction except like, good job weirdo?

      fwiw I gave mine on how Francis Scott Key was a horrible racist, and that if the author's not dead, then the US National Anthem is by a "benevolent" slave owner that basically founded Liberia.

      Let’s be honest, they’re the same people. They just know that you can get away with being pro-Pinochet in public.
