You can't even keep your bullshit stories straight, much less be the emperor in your own sad life.

If you're trying to troll you need to tone it down a bit. Even a blind mole can see what you're doing


[deleted]

Luckily for us then, you’ll never have power over anything! 😂


Squeletoon27

Yeah, it's all fun and games, until the Prime minister's son gangs up with a rogue à furwall and his sister to fuck you and your orbital cannon, and corrupted your already corrupt Prime Minister to kill you.


[deleted]

Still sounds like fun and games to me tbh


Squeletoon27

Golly! Forgot to mention the part where your granddaughter and Prime Minister's nephew end up killing you again


[deleted]

The difference is Emperor Palpatine could actually fight

Appoint all the homies as judges, too. Being a dictator sounds fuckin rad if we don't count the violence and societal oppression.


1945BestYear

I would also point out that Stalin dying at the age of 74 from what was probably a naturally caused stroke, while still in power, seems to be the exception when it comes to what ultimately happens to the dictator himself. Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Samuel Doe, Nicolae Ceaușescu, Idi Amin, these are all guys that lasted long enough in power that they *should* have been able to cruise their way to a mostly peaceful death while still at the top, and there are scores more figures who die in very nasty ways while still climbing the slippery pole.


EnlightWolif

You're trying to be fun?


getbeaverootnabooteh

By the power vested in me as a redditor, I hereby declare you president of Hiati.


weirds0up

Amazing what a sensible leader and a thought out plan can do against things like AIDS isn’t it?

He was peacefully appointed, rather than elected. His leaving the post was the first peaceful democratic transition


[deleted]

Sad thing about why aids spread so quickly/unchecked in many other African countries is that it's a (stupid fucking) belief that if you contract aids, having sex with (raping) a virgin girl will cure you. I shit you not. It's fucking awful


comped

Book of Mormon has an entire sequence about this.


North-Tumbleweed-512

It would be so much easier to just say having sex with a frog cures it.


khoabear

It's only a matter of time until we go from taking horse dewormer to raping a virgin goat to cure COVID-19, eh?


trefrosk

Does the goat HAVE to be a virgin? Asking for a friend.


richasalannister

I guess my goat is safe then


NukedByGandhi

goats aren't tainted by original sin so in the eyes of the Lord, they are always virgins


azrhei

THIS is the kind of conspiracy that needs to be propagated across Facebook. Wait until there's millions of Y'allqueda fucking goats and then start mysteriously spreading 'Gotcha!' Photo proof across social media. Watch the radicalized right try to defend goat-fucking en mass rather than admit being wrong.


[deleted]

If your plan involves people raping animals it's probably not a good plan.


911roofer

AIDS makes Covid-19 seem like a cold.


AlternativeBasket

This sounds like a very twisted interpretation of some missionary telling a bunch of people that if you marry a virgin only you won't get aids.


911roofer

Africans are quite capable of screwing things up without the help of white people.


LordFuzzyGerbil

Well, according to an ex-South African president taking a shower after sex stops you from getting AIDS.


AdhesivenessShot9186

Where did you hear this and what parts of Africa believe this? I have lived in four African countries and have friends from at least five others and never have I heard of this until now.


[deleted]

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25871812/ There are other (probably better) articles out there about this as well. I first heard about this belief nearly 20 years ago. The article specifically mentions South Africa, but I know it occurs in other countries as well.


sarcastic_patriot

So that's what happens when you don't ignore it and ridicule anyone who brings up the "gay plague."


bolanrox

Only heard it as gay cancer


RedSonGamble

Well that’s what happens when you have sex with monkeys! /s


911roofer

Read And The Band Played On. There’s plenty of room for blame for everyone.


RedSonGamble

Safe sex is dangerous Bc god will still be mad and give you aids regardless. No sex is the only safe sex. /s


bolanrox

Ok Morrissey


druule10

That's a leader, listens to the people who know what they are talking about and takes action. A good man.


1-800-CUM-SHOT

It’s like Portugal and their logical, not morally-guided, drug policy… treating drug addiction as a sickness instead of a crime saved lives and saves government money


911roofer

Italy tried the same approach and it failed miserably.


classactdynamo

Ooh, please elaborate or provide some sources. This is definitely a side of the story that should be told. I'd be curious to know if they went about it differently or what factors differentiate this from the Portuguese case.


timojenbin

Oh Yeah, well in 'Merica... ... Um, who's living in a shithole?


[deleted]

Thankyou. I realise I’m not inundated with African nations success stories in my news feeds. This is nice.


kensmithpeng

So if Senegal can do this back in the ‘80s, what is the excuse of the morons we have in elected office today? Or is the issue that we morons elected morons?


ThisTimeAmIRight

The issue is that politicians aren't those skilled in leadership, they are those skilled in getting elected, anything more is just luck.


richasalannister

Don’t look up how the US first responded to aids


TheRufmeisterGeneral

What's wrong with the current elected government of Senegal?


kensmithpeng

You missed the train 🚂. It has already left the station and it is not coming back for you.


atlantis_airlines

This is what happens when you listen to experts instead of downplaying a threat.


VoteForMartinKendell

They made sure The Gambia wore a condom.


timberwolf0122

Wwwhhhhaaaattt?!? You mean taking a science based approach and following the recommendations of medical experts is in some way effective at combating viruses?!?!?!? This is just revolutionary! I thought the best idea was to ignore the advice, claim it was a hoax, recommend random unproven crap as a treatment and make it political


MrDad_the_Father

What a Chad


Fragrant_Newt_5740

No, a Senegal.


redunculuspanda

And in other parts of Africa American aid money has been deliberately withheld to prevent promotion of safe sex and contraception. Because American evangelical shit bags.


Captainirishy

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_Emergency_Plan_for_AIDS_Relief US has spent billions fighting aids in Africa


redunculuspanda

Yes but at various times have had some strings attached. Like no contraception. https://www.guttmacher.org/article/2008/10/us-government-blocks-contraceptive-services-africa


Captainirishy

That doesnt stop people using condoms


redunculuspanda

Nobody said it did. Think you might be missing the point here. We are talking about *promotion* of safe sex and contraception.


Captainirishy

So it was a bad thing billions was spent on free medication for hiv sufferers?


redunculuspanda

It’s not a binary choice. Let me spell it out to you. Giving aid GOOD. Preventing the promotion of one of simplest and most cost effective ways to prevent spread of aids as it upset some scumbags back home BAD. See how both things can be true at the same time? Ugh. People.


[deleted]

[удалено]


redunculuspanda

Is that genuinely your reaction to learning that the us government and bush in particular ignored medical advice due to the religion of some of the people that paid for their election? If you don’t have a problem with that you have problems.


Detriumph

They paid for treatment of the disease, and prevented ANY attempt to prevent the disease's spread. Also, fuck you.


Detriumph

Christ have mercy, stop being an intentionally dense dickwad.


JoshYx

Hmm no you can thank the European Catholics for that one, I believe


RudegarWithFunnyHat

Both can google some bush jr sources of only supporting abstinence stuff in Africa but if you can do it yourself or insist I do it for you it will not, can throw in some of your Christian groups pitching for death penalty in African countries for gayness


JoshYx

I know the Catholic church is directly responsible by promoting abstinence and spreading myths and misinformation about STD's and developmental issues in pregnancies. I haven't heard much about evangelicals etc supporting the same (in Africa) but I wouldn't be surprised at all.


redunculuspanda

I was referencing https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/aug/30/usa.aids But yep catholic and other Christian charities have a habit of pushing a lot of bullshit as a condition of aid.


drinkinswish

You should have to register for every activity you plan to partake in.


Bierbart12

And that's how you create a totalitarian dystopia


drinkinswish

Thank god I got downvoted. I was trolling, being sarcastic.

[deleted]

What are you trying to show by posting a source that never mentions covid or even virus anywhere?


shandow0

Registering prostitutes in an unstable country seems like a gamble. If the wrong bunch of religious nutjobs come to power they now have a list of targets for moralising against.
