In all seriousness I feel like the common answers I saw of Diogenes (because that was like, his entire shtick) or Socrates (because they killed him for being annoying) are probably better answers but saying its Trotsky on a leftist forum is way funnier.

Trotsky is a good answer and funny for leftists to say.

Cicero also works.

Charles De Gaulle is also a possibility.

But without Charles De Gaulle we lose one of my favorite quotes!

not super evil

De Gaulle is responsible for thousands of deaths in Africa

I guess... but he's also responsible for this... from Lightiggy's post in reddit...

Oh shit I have a friend of French-Algerian descent and I know her father, who is Algerian, was imprisoned and treated harshly in Algeria during this period.

He moved to France and I always wondered what it would be like to migrate to the country that tortured you, but a penny just dropped and now I think I understand why he moved to France.
