...............................
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If he should die before I wake,
I shall wake up with a morning bright.
Amen.
🙏

(316,170 posts)of that..
We all understand mortality. Its the constant of the human condition, the endless winner of billions of lives, even that of the Dear Leaders whose rule seemed eternal.
We dont spend enough time on how much chaos and blood comes after that tap in the Generallismos shoulder, on the inevitable collapse of systems built around a single man entail.
The leader dies, weakens, is defeated politically or militarily, or even loses a step, and the entire structure that pretended to be a unified movement reveals itself as what it really was all along: a feeding frenzy for sycophants who think they were born to inherit the throne. The pressure cooker of autocratic systems rewards fealty, loyalty, public and private obeisance.

This is what I hope for.

Traitor is the Evil head of the snake that Sucks Sycophants in. I don't think there's anyone else that can do that.
You're Welcome, she

(316,170 posts)Yes, I've been thinking along the lines of what Rick Wilson has written so eloquently.. Dictators Dying. Specifically this one.
I imagine so many people are thinking the same
