      Westerners like to act as if powerful politicians just fall out of the sky a few minutes before they run for office- like how Biden's history of funding credit card companies is just totally forgotten even though he's responsible for how America's economy currently works. It's like we live in an eternal Now, no past and no future.

        The Japanese never got that curtsey though...

          I think "fanatically loyal to their so-called God Emperor" was featured at least in some propaganda, though maybe it was portrayed as just being part of their Asiatic genes or something

        Fidel was such a good speaker

        I actually find Fidel pretty hard to listen to lol

        Allende and Che were really good at speeches though
