JeffreyTheSuperSnail 66 Posted February 18, 2019 Obviously it's not true that he can no longer walk, as he would have had to stand up and take a few steps to make his way into a chair. He'll make it to his 95th birthday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 11,954 Posted February 19, 2019 Actually there are a lot of people I'd like to see dead, but only for three I would probably be really happy because not only they seem immortal and built a whole cult about it, but also because they were glorified utter dictators. The Swami or Li Rui were indeed on the edge of immortality, but they were on the good side which always stops you from fully enjoying their demises. Anh is a bastard, but also did some good things in his later years. The three people I absolutely can't stand are: 1)Mugabe. 2)Daniel arap Moi 3)Kenneth Kaunda Kaunda a bit less than the other two, who remain arrogant dictators, though of opposite parties. What I hate is the cult of immortality around them: just watch on the web and you'll find many articles of people who firmly believe Mugabe and Moi are immortal. Another thing that pisses me off is how long they are living in countries with a very low life expectancy and people not being mad at them because they go to receive attention abroad (Israel for Moi, Singapore for Bobby), but venerate them. Will be good riddances one day... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can totally relate to this, but have in mind that a lot of other African leaders who died in their 50s and 60s had this same cult of immortality and special powers. It seems to be a form of personality cult in countries with low educated population. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It seems to be a form of personality cult in countries with low educated population. Not just African leaders - see also North Korea, for instance. Or historically all of the emporers with cults saying they ascended to godhood rather than merely dying, from Japan and China to ancient Rome. I think postcolonialism may have something to do with why there's been a proliferation of such ideas in the last 70 years or so, though. Countries with a history of running themselves for hundreds of years and seeing their leaders snuff it just like everyone else may be less susceptible to this than countries with a shorter history of independence. QEII has outlived many leaders around which such cults have focused, and nobody expects her to go on forever (though I wouldn't be surprised if she made triple figures, personally).

drol 11,954 Posted February 23, 2019 Yes, he is 95, but he looks incredibly thin now. I think he has a slow progressing form of cancer, maybe the prostate cancer which was rumoured years ago. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
