What world leader, not from your country, do you despise most, and why?

[livingdeadmoose]

Some strange choices so far.

Are you guys really so ignorant that you think a fool like Trudeau is worse than murdering criminals like Kim Jong Un, Jacob Zuma, Yoweri Museveni, Rodrigo Duterte and Aung San Suu Kyi?

Murderous dictators in these 3rd world shitholes is normal. Violence is a way of life over there. I’m not saying that it’s not bad, but it’s been that way forever.

“Leaders” like Merkel and Trudeau are taking prosperous 1st world countries and turning them into shit.

 

[Seaside]

Merkel and Maduro.

Merkel:

The "you have to take refugees or we will wage economic war with you" part describes her greatly.

Maduro:
Hits closer to home. Venezuela was a somewhat rich Southern American country, it has the largest oil reserves in the world (although Saudi Arabian oil is much easier to extract). Together with his predecessor Chavez he was able to completely ruin his country, now venezuelan refugees are flooding into Brazil.

well it is true. tall blonde pale women got not soul to them. i mean some are sexy but ehhh i pass. and yeah it become there version of 'my dick'. i rather be a west african in germany than be a german man in the cuck climate or be a syrian muslim.

I don't really despise any world leaders since I obviously don't know them, but surely Kim-Jong Un is the top villain at the moment.

The truth is that a lot of these dictators are just people who got stuck in a shitty position. Take Al-Assad or Kim-Jong Un for example. They didn't necessarily choose to be dictators (especially in Assad's case), they simply inherited the job. What were the options? Either take up the job or allow yourself to be ousted, becoming a complete outcast, possibly dead as a result of subsequent purging.

I wonder if Assad wishes that he had just been the doctor that he was meant to be, if it wasn't for his older brother dying accidentally.

trudeau for the way he says 'mooslim'

Gotta go with Kim Jong Un.

Un knows what REAL modern life is like due to going to college in the western world. But instead of changing things in nK, he kept the tyranny going. THAT is the real crime that bothers me.

Somewhat shitty but they probably enjoy it, mainly Kim

 

[evansusmc2]

Kim Jong Un. Biggest conference in my field was being planned for Seoul this year but because of rocketman and his big buttoned antagonist it got moved to Canada.

They have a fucking raccoon cafe in Seoul.

...oh and all the human rights atrocities and famines, too, I guess.

Been to the raccoon cafe in Seoul. It was very cool.

Also been to a dog, cat and meerkat cafes in other Korean cities.

 

[Trotsky]

Oh come on, he's bad but compared to the likes of Sisi and Suu Kyi he's not that bad.

Nah, man, Netanyahu is a shit bag.

What is Macron doing so bad? Is he a super Pro Business policy guy but pretends to be a pro Socialist man of the People like the Trudeau?

Haha, yes, that's exactly it. Macron is Trudeau, but less cheesy and more "pro business." French leftists hate him.

Duterte is by no means far right! He is more of a leftist1 even far left I would say in his younger years although he is more of centrist in policy as current philippine constitution just don't have enough machinery to implement a more Leftist socialist policy.

His proposal for the our housing program is more leftist than any other Philippine Presidents its just some of his previous supporters now turned opponents just want the full house when it comes to social benefits, like asking for free utilities aside from free housing etc, and he is forced to confront those communist nutters2 after they start vandalizing government equipment even after giving the communist leaders full pardon a few years ago.

1. Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has declared that he would be the first left-leaning president of the country if he wins the elections on May 9.

I always forget he's a reactionary communist-affiliate. I forget how stark the differences are in the evolution of Western and Eastern communists. If anything, he's what I would call a genuine populist, but the reactionary elements that he is (for better or for worse) known for, such as the war on drugs, nationalism, misogyny, facilitating police abuses are all right-wing elements.

He certainly has rightwing elements in his rethoric specially his very pro military and pro Police stance he has doubled the salary of all the armed services.

I guess that explains why he was being accused off as a fake leftist by the founder of the Communist Party of the Philippines which is covered in the 2nd link I provided.

To be fair to Duterte though in the campaign he said he may have a leftist background but he is not only for the left but also for the right. Which I interpret as him saying he is a centrist.


This gets more confussing because in todays Philippine politics there is virtually no left or right political spectrum so to speak like you have in the USA.

Like for example in the states one can easily simplify that Democrats=Liberal=Leftist and they could be more or less correct.

While in our country The Philippines one of the bigger parties the Partido Liberal is considered the Center Right party and one of their tenets is Anti Communism.

In the Phils. we have a multi Party system that changes policy as easy as changing political members so it gets more confusing.


In our political landscsape its more of the cult of personalities that dominates discussion than ideology it is infact only Duterte who brought up that spectrum back into the political dialogue.

Any way fuck Duterte if you are not aware his appointees are also garbage one of his spokes woman is a former sex blogger now being paid by tax payers. And is as foul mouth and as boorish Duterte is.


Now they just trued to shut down a media outlet and plans on changing the constitution.

So you are actually living in the Philippines?

What I really dislike about Duterte is, as you hinted, his Trump-esque qualities. He's quick to react toward taking the short-term solution, and he seems to err toward appointing loyal sycophants instead of qualified persons. No matter your ideology, fascist or communist, filling the government with incompetent persons is never excusable.

But, also like I said, at least he's a genuine populist.

 

[VivaRevolution]

Gotchya.

It doesn't suprise me that some American leftists would hate a former Special Forces officer & elected President of the middle-east's lone democracy, over dictators guilty of killing hundreds of thousands of their own people.

None of those people are a actual threat to the US. Israel and Mossad are.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

None of those people are a actual threat to the US. Israel and Mossad are.

So... what you're saying is... North Korea is not an actual threat to the US, but Israel is.

Wow....

Just wow...

I am a Filipino living in the Philippines his foreighn policy and his overt pro China stance on the south China sea issue is disturbing some says its treasonous

Wow....

Yes.

Is SE Asia on the verge of civil war because of NK?

Little advice to you. Turn off the idiot box, and stop listening to the propaganda.

NK would cease to exist tomorrow if China wanted it to. The rhetoric of hard power, and the realities of hard power, are two very different things.

Erdogan is Islamofascist. Putin just want to expand influence and expand eurasian union so it can be bigger and like the EU. Kind of like how Germany and France rule EU he want same thing only it be Russia and maybe if Ukraine 1 day join as most powerful in the block. I could see a secular regime change Iran in it in many years if Iran ever went way of Azerbaijan.

What does Islamofascist even mean? As bad as Erdogan is Putin is a more vicious authoritarian leader but because his brand of populism is anti-EU and leans on Orthodox Christian values and not Islam he gets a pass from many folks here even though in practice its even worse than Erdogan's brand of authoritarian populism.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Nah, man, Netanyahu is a shit bag.

He is but is he the shittiest shitbag among the shitbags? I don't think so but like I said earlier, I think there's merit to @tramendous's argument that while he may not be as bad in practice as a guy like Sisi that could just as easily be because he's held back by a political system with checks and balances while men like Sisi aren't

Erdogan would be top of my particular shit list , he seems fixed on rolling back Kemalist safeguards at home and dangerous military adventurism with the neighbours making his domestic issue with the Kurds into a wider regional one .

Kemalist safeguards= military dominance of politics. Rolling that back is one of the good things he did, too bad he just lead the country into authoritarian populism as opposed to actual democracy.
