Here's the explanation[^] for my (singular) "contribution" to the mess. You're on your own for figuring the rest out.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

He's not a dictator. He was democratically elected under the "One Man, One Vote" system.
He's "The Man" and he has the vote.

"Ankh-Morpork had dallied with many forms of government and had ended up with that form of democracy known as One Man, One Vote. The Patrician was the Man; he had the Vote." ― Terry Pratchett, Mort

What's the story behind this picture ? Is this real or photoshopped ?
|

Photoshopped - it was originally Kim Jung-un riding the bear.

That's the KSS version of "mounting the sheep", is it?
