        Need to remember the bastards to remember to piss on their graves.

        Much as I understand your sentiment, I think it’s important to remember the people who did horrible things like McCarthy, and use him as a warning to our younger generations who didn’t see the problems they created.

        You know, and the grave pissing.

          Thanks to how history is being recorded, there’s no chance that he will be forgotten until civilization collapses.

          I wouldn’t want history to actually forget any shitty person (or good person) because that makes it way easier for someone with similar ideals to take power again.

          It’s more the sentiment.

          I have a metaphorical bucket of piss just for Margaret Thatcher. 26+6=1

      But that stinks of communism, doesn’t it… 😄

      Sprinkle a bit of communism on that capitalism.
