I mean, barring the whole, "Secret Police", "Microphones in the walls", and "No Freedom to even leave the country" thing, Latveria under Dr. Doom does have no poverty or famine, and apparently universal healthcare so maybe a masked leader isn't so bad...

Oh and there is only one holiday: DOOMSDAY, and it is celebrated whenever Dr. Doom declares it.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Luckily he declares it at least once a month.

No poverty, famine and universal health care but secret police, microphone in the walls and no freedom to leave the country is a deal I’d never take.

Online, and in the Ghanaian media, there is speculation that the masked figure may be businessman and socialite Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as "Cheddar".

“President Cheddar” does have a nice ring to it.

I thought this was an ad for a new star wars movie

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

An African themed star wars would be fucking lit.

"Where are all the black people in this galaxy?"

"Over there, in the cool part of the galaxy, not losing to fascism twice."

It would have to peak with the ignition of a purple lightsaber... Theaters would spontaneously combust at that moment.

I thought I saw a comment somewhere on the Internet suggesting this sarcastically.

If you think about it. If it's a successful campaign, you can basically sell the presidency, as nobody knows who they voted for.
