Rich, white, old, conservative billionaires

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 53 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 61 points 2 months ago

"Conservative" was the 4th word.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

He already said rich

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 23 points 2 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 2 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 14 points 2 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 2 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

Evil will only last as long as Good let's it. Evil people are supposed to be cut short or else they live for far longer than they should. Average conservative should have the same lifespan and sudden end as Andrew Breitbart.

Remove the white part and add Xi and Kim

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kim’s sphere of influence isn’t that big

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

sphere of influence

I'd argue that sphere is quite big (potentially, anyways)

They haven't even fired a shot yet, and on some island somewhere, it already caused a bit of a panic.

[–] Coleslaw4145@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months ago

But then they can flaunt their racism!

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 10 points 2 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.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 2 months ago

It's incredible how: everybody lets them.

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

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

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

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago

Don't forget the handful of billionaires behind them.

[–] muzzle@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 2 months ago

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...

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

Axis of evil.

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

To think Kim Jong Un doesn't cause any problems to the world is wild

[–] Underwaterbob@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

At least North Korea's influence outside of NK is fairly limited. At least compared to these three.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

OP: These three guys have caused a ton of problems.

You: Not mentioning everyone causing problems means literally only these three caused problems!
