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.

I know this is a shitpost, but the real reason Socrates was executed was his real or perceived ties with the dictatorship of the 30, which took power after they lost Peloponesian war, and killed a bunch of athenians.

Huh, but also I'm sure him being insufferable did not help.
