    Side note: how do people post pictures without it being a link?

    There is a theme for humor. Mb not a single such.

    Just a text is more appropriate to place by a text, without a conversion to a picture.

    When you quote a message you see "how" it's written. By "img" tag and "imgur" or other image hosting.

    It is pretty darn hard when the cult leader makes people believe his shit without any realism and the dictator wants be respected but ends up directing a Z class play using terror

    As Sol stated above pretty all, 99% of countries do the same when their own presidents/monarchs die (e.g Queen Elizabeth II). The media which is overwhelmingly owned and controlled by Western ruling class elites make sure to always either paint these type of leader commemorations as either a "noble farewell" or "cult worship" depending if the country in question is aligned with them geopolitically. Open your country and it's people up to exploitation by Western corporations and abide by all of their rules and get labeled as a friend, resist and get labeled as an oppressive dictatorship. To be clear I don't view leader worship as something that is very ideal in any case, but it is a tried and true way of boosting national unity and is cohesion, and is an unfortunate necessity when you are a country that has near total economic isolation on imposed it and have a hostile superpower bearing down on you with troops stationed in it's satellite state south of your border.

    Eh... what it it tells about the rulers? Isn't the point of this to extreme contrast anyway.
    Essentially nobody respects them but everyone sucks up to them.

    The sad truth about human nature and biological organisms in general. The self centered energetic minimum.

    I was going on a little bit of an ideological rant so forgive me for sidetracking. Part of the point I was that making though about worshipping leaders is that sometimes it is encouraged by state for practical purposes and isn't always done just because of the leader's ego. Having larger-then-life people in your government/history helps foster a sense of national identity, which in turn boosts social stability. It can be a crude way to do so, but it is a reliable way.
