😂 I told a friend on the street here that I'm writing a piece on Kissinger's century and he immediately perked up. "Ah, segunda Hitler!"
We did a quick poll of the average clients, everyday blue collars mostly. Almost everyone recognized the term as referring to Kissinger, save two younger men who thought we meant Putin.
When you're infamous in the developing world, it really sticks! 🙃

(*I'm pretty sure I heard "segunda", not "segundo", which would be because we're talking about a set of people: "la segunda persona como Hitler". But it's always funny trying to figure out the referent that needs to be gendered in another language.)
@MLClark
Yes. If the language has gender.
