if you could stop one historical figure who would you stop

[teriyakiburns]

Otto Bismarck. His unification of the Germanies caused everything wrong with the late 19th and most of the 20th century. Without him, there's no German empire, no imperial conflict with france that leads to the great war, no Hitler trying to restore the Reich, no loss of two generations to the meat grinder of total war, no centralising European transnational superstate, no George Soros, no WEF... Basically, he's the reason the world is shit.

George W

Smith. He ran for city council out in Oakland in '93. You probably didn't hear about him. He's a fuckin snitch

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Steve Jobs should've just released another gimmick desktop computer, not the iPhone.

 

[Dick Lickieta]

Hitler, but just before he started WW2, it would be interesting to see what the Germany would do from there without him

 

[Staticness]

Gandhi.

Counterpoint: Ghandi was the excuse the Brits had to abandon an increasingly costly India in the post-War. All the Englishmen with spines had died to machine gun fire in France leaving the cucks who make up the majority to this day. I see your Ghandi and raise you Winston Churchill.

 

[Divine right to rule]

Woodrow Wilson from entering WW1 and giving the French free reign in "punishing" Germany and Austria in the peace treaties.
The rise of fascism and communism and WW2 and the following clown-world were all a direct consequence.

My mom and my dad

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

The Columbine school shooters.

[Tablet County]

Just as God was about to make mankind I'd show up doing my best Neil deGrasse Tyson impression (blackface and all) and tell Him that He shouldn't do this thing in the most pedantic and annoying way possible.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

The serpent in the Garden of Eden.

 

[Sexy Senior Citizen]

Joseph Welch. Senator McCarthy was 100% correct and should've been given free reign to purge the commies from America.

 

[TheLostMarxBrotherFucko]

Jimmy Saville. For obvious reasons.

 

[Althalus]

Paul of Tarsus

Why? Genuinely curious.

If you're going to lay the horrors of the early 20th century at Bismarck's feet like that, go whole cloth and blame Napoleon for destroying the Holy Roman Empire and stoking German nationalism with the Confederation of the Rhine.
It was probably going to happen eventually regardless, but you had to start having national armies and consequently ethnic nationalism to run a European country in Bismarck's time, and that ran directly at odds with the solution Europe came up with to keep Germany contained pre-Industrial Revolution.
I guess I'm saying your beef probably has more to do with the French Revolution and its consequences than the life's work of a German diplomat 50+ years later.

Also Soros is Hungarian, doesn't particularly care for Germs or their country, and spent most of the 2010's crying that they weren't sacrificing their economy to save Mediterranean states during the Austerity crisis because at the end of the day he's a kike who gets off on managed European decline, not a quirk of German autism.

 

[Blindeye]

No one. Why would I possibly believe I was capable or worthy to take such responsibility for changing the fate of humanity just because I was fed course material I have learned by now is a best not a full accounting of history because the winners always downplay their worst atrocities even when they become so ‘progressive’ they literally hand over everything to their new Gods for good reformer woke points and at worse is a total fabrication?

Calm down, nobody is expecting you to be omniscient, you can just take someone out because it'd be funny to see what happens, if you get it wrong nobody will know the difference anyway because the original history is erased

You think doing something monumental like that is just funny? Even as a retarded ‘what if’ game, the ramifications of even thinking of having the hubris to decide the fate of humanity given the pedestrian and biased knowledge the average person has is disgusting and indicative of why everything is so fucked up in the world right now! You’d be no more worthless then the ‘lol let’s shoot Hitler/Jesus/Columbus’ morons.

Well i know everything and the world would be perfect if I was in control. I obviously know what's best for everyone and can tell people how to manage their lives better than they can. If everyone just did everything I said the world would be a better place!

 

[The Dude]

First thought was Ghandi, but I see that one has been covered. FDR and Churchill too. So I suppose I'll go with Abraham Lincoln. Fuck that tyrant. The insane level of bloat and over-reach that the Federal Government became leads directly back to his tyrannical need to force the Southern States to rejoin the "Union". Because of Lincoln, the Federal Government decided the Constitution is more of a suggestion rather than a hard, unambiguous restriction on Federal powers, and that they can just ignore it whenever they feel like it.

I raise you Rosa Parks. Call?
