Jacinda Ardern and Barack Obama both had a pretty good rep and worldwide appeal. Maybe even Xi Jinping
Idk if your statement is correct
I’ve never heard Jacinda Ardern mentioned until now. And Barack Obama was the first black POTUS (and also ridiculed by some because of that). Xi Jinping is probably the best example.
The guy who expanded the drone war to like 8 countries, bailed out the banks after they stole millions of homes, and built the cages for immigrants?
He looks good next to the guy who invaded Iraq and the guy who is currently bombing Iran.
I don’t remember Xi doing any of that…
A lot of the world heard about Jacinda back during lockdowns, and that was for a good reason
I remember Hungary apparently had a really bad leader for a while but I have no idea what his name was.
You thinking of Victor orbarn (not sure if that’s the right spelling)
If you say “I can’t wait for him to die” and the whole world thinks of the same person, it’s probably pretty damn bad
I have started looking for restaurants for when Trump dies, at the moment I have been looking at the best Greek restaurants, but I’ll make a spreadsheet with options and pick on the day.
pick on the day.
Yeah, making a reservation several days beforehand would probably raise a couple red flags 😁
Hopefully, it happens on a Tuesday. If so, I’m doing Taco Tuesday 😂. Specifically, the Doritos Locos Tacos from Taco Bell because they’re orange.
Fucking brilliant
On the flip side. Let him long enough to destroy is movement.
Yeah, he’s doing tons of damage to it right now. When he dies they’re going to try to whip the cult into a frenzy, so the more that can be disillusioned before he croaks, the better.
Don’t bring Melania into this.
They may not have known his name, but there was a time when (hopefully soon to be former) New Zealand prime minister Chris Luxon became the face of shitty landlords the world over.
A Reddit link, In this economy ?
funny though
Yeah, sorry, it was the only place I could find the meme.
Not current, but a possible counter point would have been Nelson Mandela.
I had a longer title in mind that said there was a small chance of it being a great thing, but a much higher chance of it being a really, really bad thing
I think you could save this one still. People knew his name before he was elected leader because he was imprisoned by his racist government. That’s not really a good thing.
Aung San Suu Kyi, for a short time while in power before she tolerated genocide on her watch, would have sort of fit in the Mandela category as well.
Ok, Ho Chi Minh, and the one thing that the guy who oversaw crimes against humanity and slavery against Uncle Ho’s people was known for was good. The other things Charles De Gaul did, not so much.
Case and point: José Alberto “Pepe” Mujica Cordano is afaik the most famous “objectively good guy” president and you’ve probably never heard of him.
The only leader I know that openly confronted consumerism and considered it a priority, as well as the concept of infinite economic growth. He even criticized latin american left parties for having turned poor people into consumers, and not into citizens (as in people with rights)
Part of a Marxist-Leninist urban guerrilla group fighting a democratically elected center-right government. Mujica was variously the sole survivor of a mission to take a telephone exchange, shot six times fighting multiple policemen (he injured two), part of four prison escapes, and lost his mind after years of solitary confinement.
He admired and supported Chavez, who was the one who started the destruction of my country, left Maduro here and dismantled all the industry and national trade, and the state’s companies put them in charge of inept people just because they were loyal to him.
I wouldn’t say he was good if he supported such a character.
A lot of people supported Chaves initially until he went off the rails.
dismantled all the industry and national trade
Pretty sure US sanctions did that.
As far as loyalty is concerned, I think having your president kidnapped and his replacement give us the rights to your oil for 100 years while our deranged leader tells the UN general assembly its ours by right of conquest kinda shows the importance of making sure everyone at high levels is loyal.
What did Ghengis Khan ever do to you? Actually, nevermind.
He didn’t want us to get it on…with nobody else but him
Mike Snow baby 😎
