It bugs me that this is using Futurama people. I don't believe any of them have ever said the word demonization.
Or would have a strong opinion on Stalin, being so far in the Future.

We're 2000 years from Caligula. I think we can still agree that he was a lunatic whose contributions don't outweigh the monstrous things he did.
Funnily enough, the image most of us have of Caligula is likely very exaggerated.
Careful, plenty of insane revisionists who go deep into the "Actually Caligula was just hated by the Senatorial elite in a way that none of his claimed actions explain and that isn't repeated with any other Emperor, including the much-hated Nero and Domitian, both of whom retained significant and influential loyalists after their deaths, unlike Caligula"
Yes, but do we feel as strongly about him as we feel about more recent mass murdering leaders?
No? Because some of Stalin's victims are still alive. That doesn't mean you can't have a strong opinion about Caligula.
Its called a meme template.
