If you would go back in time and not kill a fascist… What are you even doing!?
Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland?
Eh. It takes a lot to galvanize an entire nation around one man. I’ll take my chances in a world where people could enjoy hearing “Adolf Hitler? That artist that somehow died last week?”
Going back in time to the moment before the dude who invented fascism thought of it and distract them so they never actually have that thought. Bam! No more fascism and in a 100% pacifist run.
Soo, showing up in leftist reporter Mussolini’s home to debate his current thoughts about a new type of revolution, bringing a gun just in case. I don’t know if there’s any amount of distraction you could subject Benito to in order to prevent him from thinking up fascism. You’d either have to make him realize it’s stupid or kill him.
Addendum: don’t forget to practice with your handgun beforehand, and bring something to smash a windshield beforehand. This is why there were 8 failed assassination attempts on him.
Foolproof!
I like your optimism!
If the time travel rules are that you cannot change your present you return to, then it becomes tourism.
Pushing them around in the playground as revenge. Maybe it affects them, who knows
If someone has a time machine, they can just make the world a better place by killing baby
Adolf HitlerThomas Malthus.Ah, yes. Science. That thing where going back in time to kill the scientist who discovered something guarantees that no one else will ever think of the same concept.
Thomas Malthus was not a scientist, but an economist and a cleric.
Science convergers on the same truth. It’s the stupid that creates uniquely dumb outcomes. If you want to change the world by time travel, do not kill the scientist, kill the fool.
Forget that, I’m stomping on the first fish that thought legs were a good idea
But legs are great (unless you have BID or something similar).
Poor dog doesn’t deserve this legacy.
Yep, she was a good girl that definitely deserved better. Tasty treats? Yes. Becoming the face of Elon Musk’s neo-fascist movement? No.
How about going back in time to make sure the Constitution is written with less room for interpretation? You could solve DOGE, Trump, and gun rights in one go.
Go back and never compromise with the south during our early years. No slavery loopholes no state rights senate bullshit. Partner with George to make a 3rd party. Make a clause that no actor can become president. Would solve 2 of the worst presidents…
Uh… maybe?
Trump and Elon don’t actually care about the constitution, you know. They pretend that they do because it’s patriotic, but it wouldn’t stop them from doing anything they’re doing.Trump is arguing that the presidential immunity the Supreme Court invented allows him to do all this, so we might not have gotten here if the constitution didn’t leave room for the court to invent that. And if the 14th Amendment were clearer, Trump wouldn’t have even been able to run in the last election.
Do you really want a constitution written by a bunch of slave-owning, warmongering aristocrats to be more specific?
Take out RBG in like 2014

Unfortunately Doge the government thing would exist regardless of the dog
The cryptocurrency though, who knows
