Netflix has a new series called "How to Become a Tyrant." Based on the first 2 seconds of the preview (as far as I got) it looks unbearable. Yet, I am intensely curious. If any of you are brave enough/sufficiently reckless with your mental health, I'd love to hear what bullshit is being streamed into millions of homes.

There has to be opportunities for spectacular dunks. Please entertain me.

    These documentaries always cover the same handful of people. Stalin and hitler are probably the most overly talked about leaders in the 20th century when there are many others who get ignored.

    They could cover king leopold, Rios Mont, trujillo, sukarno, pinochet, stroessner, and so many more. Even Franco and Salazar don’t get nearly enough coverage, same with Hirohito.

    Also love how they conveniently ignore Turkmenistan, which is basically US backed North Korea.
