Rich, white, old, conservative billionaires

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 55 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Don't forget homophobic, xenophobic, racist, misogynist, evil, and pedophilic.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 63 points 4 months ago

"Conservative" was the 4th word.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 months ago

He already said rich

In Brazil we just put our white problem guy in jail, probably for the rest of his life. Hope that becomes an example for the rest of the world.

[–] muzzle@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Technically, he's under house arrest waiting for the next iteration of the process.

But but...

Also remember that two of those elderly madmen were voted in.

They're not the cause of their respective countries' problems, they're a symptom.

The tidalwave of misery they unleash unto this world is something their countrymen wanted.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 21 points 4 months ago (17 children)

Well, Trump and friends rigged the election, so I wouldn't say it's what the countrymen wanted.

These three played the American left like a fiddle in order to make it splinter and let trump get power back. What’s worse is Americans were warned they would do it

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 4 months ago

with the help of rigging the election, and voter suppression. the one on the right, rigged his way in the first place.

They know they won't live much longer and they want to burn it all down on the way out. Why do we let them?

[–] coyootje@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Unfortunately it seems that evil has a way of sticking around for way longer then you'd expect, kinda like weeds in your garden.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

there are people alive today who think mccarthyism failed not because it was inherently flawed, racist, and wrong, but because they stopped too soon. until we are all free, none of us are free. hope for the future lies in caring for children and nurturing in them a better vision for the future than the present we've been given. we have to make propaganda that they will refine and pass on, too. there needs to be generational continuity about the importance of class solidarity across arbitrary differences like race, gender, inherited cultural origins, and sexual orientation

Remove the white part and add Xi and Kim

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Kim’s sphere of influence isn’t that big

And don't forget King Salman of Saudi Arabia.

Just because some powerful people aren't in the news all the time doesn't mean they're not doing things in the background that effect the world.

Also, there's something close to 400,000 people dead now so far in Yemen and people barely pay attention to it.

It's incredible how: everybody lets them.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Poor Xi is feeling left out, he's kinda white too :(

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Bolsonaro would like a word.

And the ayatollah

And the Royal family in Saudi Arabia

And most african countries.

But that doesn't fit the story this OP wants to tell.

[–] Yeahigotskills2@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

3 total bastards. Ethnicity isn't really relevant, and being non-white doesn't necessarily prevent you from being a powerful despot.

[–] narinciye@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 4 months ago

Erdogan would fit well into that frame too, although he is only a regional misfit.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Make sure to keep making it about race, really helps your cause. It's a class war.

Don't forget the handful of billionaires behind them.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Those three die and nothing changes measurably. They are symptoms of larger problems/hegemonic monsters.

The US is still a tyrant controlling global relationa for its own benefit.

Israel will still be the US's proxy ethnostate hellbent on genocide.

Russia will still be attempting to assert its will through strongman efforts using their nuclear arsenal as poker ante.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 4 months ago

the one on the right responsible for the other 2's rise to power. although lesser effect on old benny

[–] muzzle@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, Putin is trying to avoid a painful and undignified death.

Africa never had problems with black men clinging to power to avoid prison/death...

South America never had problems with Hispanic men clinging to power to avoid prison/death...
