I got 9, missed number 3. It kinda scares me that I know so many dictators. Perhaps subconsciously I would want to be a dictator?

I only know Hoxha from the movie "Inside Man". Great scene

 

[Kindjal]

I got 5 and two partials I said Papa Doc Chevalier , lol but its Duvalier and Czar Nicholas ... what number i don't remember

and its Mussolini and Hitler in the big photo

 

[Tone C]

Got 7/10.

If you are happy with us getting for example " Hitler" rather than the full name , didn't know all the names of a couple of them but did the surname etc.

I miss the "Which Jersey Shore cast member are you?" Format that was popular in the late 00s/ early 10's.

I generally enjoy history, but if you're not a Hitler, a Stalin, a Ghengis Khan or a movie villain, I probably don't know you too well.

Open letter to new dictators:

Step your shit up, be the change you'd kill millions of innocent people to see in the world.

Fuck these basic bitch atrocities... covering for pdf.'s?
The catholic church been doing that for years. It's old hat now, no one cares about kids. If they don't get fucked, they'll be involved in a school shooting.
Either way, guns and creeps aren't going anywhere

Killing dissidents with plutonium poisoning or mishaps near windows? How quaint, but no one's worried about that shit

Be the next guy to drop a nuke or 2, turn the west bank into glass and blame it on Australia with no proof.
Is no one working on some new slavery? I don't mean the post modern kind, like human trafficking. I want to see some fresh faces in lines down there

It'll take more than a funny mustache or mean tweets if you want that real legacy

It's still anyone's game, don't let some asteroids or bat viruses beat you to the punch
