Henry Kissinger died on Wednesday at the age of 100. The former secretary of state and national security adviser is perhaps most famous for overseeing a relentless years-long bombing campaign in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War and orchestrating the overthrows of democratically elected governments abroad.

While the entirety of legacy media published dour and reverential obituaries, others were not so sullen. Rolling Stone published a particularly brutal obit, as did HuffPost.

Many on Twitter also savaged Kissinger, with some reveling in the news. An account dedicated solely to informing followers whether Kissinger is dead yet did its job after tweeting in the negative since it was created in 2021:

Seeing a lot of unkind words about Henry Kissinger.

But not nearly enough.

Don't be shy. History demands he be remembered for the monster he was. https://t.co/0GTHJng8PX

If you want to know just how problematic #Kissinger’s legacy is, here is the opening statement from George W Bush on the former Secretary of State:

"America has lost one of the most dependable and distinctive voices on foreign affairs with the passing of Henry Kissinger.”

Whether it’s Rosalynn Carter saving the lives of millions around the world, or Henry Kissinger actively working to kill just as many, recently departed public figures on both sides will be remembered as impactful.
