Rogue Nation

POPE_KIM
Small country.

Secretive, anti-democratic, cult-like government.

Weird, costumed leader who claims special divine powers.

Followers who are brainwashed from birth to believe a laughably absurd cosmology and a highly fictional, self-aggrandizing version of their own history.

No natural resources.

Major export: Fear.

Major import: Money.

Routinely violates the human rights of those within its sphere of influence and protects the violators.

Routinely pauperizes the peasants under its control for the enrichment of its heads of state.

Refuses to respect or obey international laws.


If you're this guy

that laundry list is enough to make you International Public Enemy #1

But it you're this guy

every day is IOKIYABOR (It's OK If You're a Bishop of Rome) Day.

Brilliant.
Let's hope he is the last of the Holy Roman emperors. I find it fascinating that as the totalitarian grip of this empire crumbles, the populist partaking of the cannabis sacrament is strengthening and is about to break free of authoritarian repression.

DG --

Not sure about the comparison.

One guy is a fascist cross-dresser.
meanwhile . . .
The other guy is merely a fascist.

Seems pretty different to me.
