      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?”

        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.

      Pushing them around in the playground as revenge. Maybe it affects them, who knows
