Who's your favourite crazy dictator / monarch? My is Bokkosa I
> got to power in Central African Republic
> declared himself emperor
> spend most of national money on coronation
> was taken down by French because of overpriced school uniforms
>>977850
Any documentaries on him?
Nero. He made not giving a shit an art form.
My favorite african dictator is his Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.
The ''Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes'' really sells him
>>977850
Vive L'empreur!
Fun fact: Our emperor, before his coronation while serving with the thrice-cursed French colonial dogs in Indochina took a native girl as a wife and gave her a child. Could it be that the line Bokassa lives on in that distant land?
>>977850
Didnt he have autistic demand for school uniforms and killed kids for not dressing properly?
>>978329
What happened was he had a nepotistic demand for school uniforms. Mandatory school uniforms, that you have to buy, and your own expense, from a factory owned by lackeys. Children get mad and throw rocks at his motorcade about this.
Bokossa demonstrates the "start shit, get hit" principle can even be applied to children.

One thing always baffleled that how any revolution or change of regime in middle east is followed by a islamic theocracy.
Why that place is stuck between hard and rock?
Either you choose secular despot who will atleast make sure there is stability or you get islamic government with aloha snackbar enthusiast ?
>>978881
Rural population of the middle east is very religious, when you give them political freedoms it's almost certain that only islamic governments will form.
>>978881
Maybe you should learn about the history of these people's societies. Their most powerful and culturally relevant points in history were had under the special sort of theocracy Islam makes.
Look at lebanon and you'll see what happens to these people under things like democracy. Lebanon hasn't had a government in 3 years or so because of democracy.

Turkmenbashi.
>Lip syncing is illegal.
>Dogs are banned from the capital city due to unappealing odour.
>Doctors were ordered to swear an oath to the President, replacing the Hippocratic Oath
>Built an ice palace so that those living in the desert country could learn to skate.
>All licensed drivers required to pass a morality test.
>Made smoking illegal after he quit.
>Outlawed opera, ballet, and circuses in 2001 for being unturkmen-like.
>Long hair and beards are illegal.
>Wearing makeup on TV is illegal.
>Decreed that citizens of the country should chew on bones to strengthen their teeth and lessen the rate at which they fall out.
>"I watched young dogs when I was young. They were given bones to gnaw to strengthen their teeth. Those of you whose teeth have fallen out did not chew on bones. This is my advice."

The middle-east is extremely backwards and reactionary in general. Why? Because Islam ceased to innovate after the Mongols ran a train on them, and they were then put under Turkish rule. Arab culture rests on a strict clan-based hierarchy where the Patriarch of the family rules primarily through fear, it is not surprising that they expect the same qualities in their national leaders. Just look at how popular Erdogan is despite his obvious dickishness. They respect that.

You have to understand the world from the perspective of the voter. You've only heard of democracy as being a western form of government. You know the west interferes with your government at their whim, fucking you guys over and essentially robbing you of any real sense of sovereignty. Any form of democracy around your country is regularly raped by the same western powers that promote democracy in your country. Choosing democracy in a typical western fashion seems tantamount to recolonisation.
And then there's the choice of the imam, the community leader who speaks about the truth. Our truth. A truth independent of what the west thinks. A truth that promises to feed the poor, that we all believe in, that is, most of all, anti-western interference.
Be honest, what would you choose?
