Seems like plenty of death fantasies for one person.

Sad reality of the world that we have so many evil leaders that the world would be better without.

Hoping that them dying solves the issue assumes they'll get replaced by someone less evil, which isn't always the case. Death doesn't fix the broken system that got us those leaders in the first place. It only satisfies the primitive human desire for vengeance.

Nah it absolutely creates change. If you take a look at history when a despot dies change follows. Not always for the better but it creates an opportunity for justice and sometimes opportunity is all you need.
