Not Hitler, not Stalin, not Mao, not even General Butt Naked. Jeremy Clarkson. That's the guy who deserves the hate. Yep.

General Butt Naked

I thought it was some meme but it's a person that exists.

[–] LordGimp@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

Not only do they exist, but they are directly responsible for an entire generation of child soldiers. Possibly also ate children. Depends on who is telling the story.

Be extremely angry at three guys who were dead 40 years before you were even born

Most of those fellas are dead. No point wasting energy on them.
