    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.

    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.

    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?

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

    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

    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.

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

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

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

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

    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.
