Maybe he made a deal with the other guy
(lemmy.world)
… and Phil Hartman only lived to 49.
Cause only the good die young.
This was my answer too, made me think of a song by HARDY
I remember someone making a Lemmy post wishing him dead like a week before he actually died.
I'm a bit out of the loop, what did Henry Kissinger do?
Assuming this is in good faith.
- prolonging the war in Vietnam
- secret bombing in Cambodia
- supporting Suharto in East Timor
- Turkey invading Cyprus
- Western Sahara
- Latin America
Pretty much one of the worst pieces of shit to ever live, for which, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Anthony Bourdain said
Once you've been to Cambodia, you'll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands...
What gets left out of this is how much he had to lie and scheme to do it all, which makes it worse to me. There's a lot to be said about the failings of the US military and general diplomacy throughout our history, but holy fuck.
That one guy is responsible for forcing (through deceit and other trickery) a big proportion of some of the worst atrocities our country has committed. He's seriously among the very worst people I can think of.
Fuck, I miss Anthony Bourdain.
Wow, what a piece of shit. And he won a Nobel peace prize??? Well deserved death.
No, he died peacefully of old old age. He did not get the death he deserved in a public square, drawn and quartered. I would also have settled for slow impalement.
He used the world's strongest military to illegally invade, occupy, and slaughter some of the poorest people on the planet.
He played a leading role in multiple coups against democratically elected governments, replacing them with brutal violent dictators.
Millions died due to his war crimes, and he was proud of his work.
Run of the mill war crimes, sprinkled with genocide.
Just a little genocide, as a treat
The coups and innocent civilians tortured were just the side dish.
The serious and obvious answer is: perhaps we're wrong in our definition of 'good'. If you start with the assumption that god creates and defines morality--which is where a lot of christians start--then if god were to do something 'evil', then we're the ones that are wrong in how we're perceiving and defining it.
The underlying assumption is that what we think is good must be mirrored by what a god thinks is good.
