RISE OF THE DICkTATORS
Hey steemians heres my take of whats happening in the world the rise of dictators.
The last few years have been particularly worrysome, We have seen a rise of dictatorships all around the world were rightwing populists not only right wing also in china there has been a new dictator announced as president for life XI.
They have taken political control and at an alarming rate of speed.
This is what wiki defines as a dictator lets see how fitting these people are.
In modern usage, the term "dictator" is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power. Dictatorships are often characterised by some of the following traits: suspension of elections and civil liberties; proclamation of a state of emergency; rule by decree; repression of political opponents without abiding by the rule of law procedures; these include one-party state, and cult of personality
Heres just to name a few people with authorotarian tendencies.
1 . Rodrigo „Rody“ Roa Duterte the president of the Philippines declaired war on drug dealers wich in otherwords means war on the poor.
In the philipines thousands of people have been murderd by the police or paid vigilante groups.
These are killings where no due process has taken place only the nieghbour has to accuse someone and it´s enough for someone to kill them.
The sad part about all this is it is only the very poor who get affected as the body´s pile up in the slums the nice suburbs stay clean.When in fact drugs are also beeing consumed buy many elites.
It´s always the poor that have to take the brunt.
Ofcourse theres lots of problems in the slums violence drugs alcohol, but it´s all a way of escaping there reality wich is bitter poverty and no way out, this is a problem created by all governments.
2 . Vladimir Putin the president of Russia has been in power for over 10 years, young russians under the age of 16 only know Putin as President.
He rose to power promising the russian people no more corruption no more oligarch rule. What has happened is he has become a cult like figure a kind of super president that will make russia rise on the world stage again and it has very much most part negatively,( War in Syria) just to mention a few.
He has orderd many assinations of political rivals from shootings on open streets in moscow to the most elaborate poisonings seen in modern history and he´s message ill get you no matter where in the world you live.
He banned any kind of education in schools about sexual diversity, meaning that if you teach that love exists amoung all genders and all adults have the right to love who they want no matter the gender and that there are more than 2 genders.You get imprisoned..
I must say he is one of the most intellectual from all of modern day dictators.
And uses he´s many years in the kgb to manipulate.
3 . Recep Tayyip Erdogan president of Turkey. Has intensified the war on the kurds the last few years as there cause is getting more and more sympathy around the world.
He sees this as a risk to Turkey instead of adding to the worlds diversity of populations of people with there own language history and culture.He wants to wipe them out.
He also changed the constitution of turkey to allow him sole control of the country´s courts and all.
After the attempted coup in 2016 thousands of activists, police, military, judges anyone who say´s a word against Erdogan was jailed.
4 . Donald J Trump is the president of the USA he has on numerios occasions said how he admired the 3 above mentioned persons. He himself said how great it would be to be president for life.
He has said he would like the justice department to look into hilary clinton, she should go to jail.
He says there should be death penalty for drug dealers. Maybe he really doesnt know that with poverty and despair comes drugs.
He wants massive military parades with nuclear arsenil on display...
One thing all these people have in common is they hate poor people and people not from there so called tribe THE RICH...
Well I dont know what to think about the next years will these fools fall like all the others that came before them, or are we heading for dark times.
Love and Peace everyone and that includes all living beings.
