Is Duterte Stalin of the East?

Is Duterte Stalin of the East?

Tankies love him the more he scares the bourgeois West with “spooky” “human rights concerns.” So yes

Doesn't he have some commies in his cabinet?

He's pretty ebin

he's a dem-socialist.

/turdposition/ists love him

No! He's the Trump of the East! He says outrageous things, is very aggressive, and is a populist!

What's that? A politician in Italy named Mr. Berlusconi has already been compared to Trump, but whose policy is nothing like that of Trump or Duterte? You must be brainwashed!

That headline is objectively true though.

No, Mao Zedong was the Stalin of the East, or perhaps Kim Il Sung.
Duterte is the Stalin of the Pacific.

Decolonization was a mistake.

The mistake was colonization itself, because with it we pressured the colonized to use our exported Western nationalism in their fight against the colonizers themselves.

It was never a case of political might, decolonization happened because it was fashionable.

N O

Y-you are welcome.

It happened because the imperialist powers (with the exception of America) were fucking broke and had war weary populations. Britain was so broke they still had food rationing and even rationed bread in 1947–something they didn't do during the war.

America wanted decolonization because it wanted uninhibited trade with the colonies and to feel superior; the Soviet Union wanted because they knew that decolonized states might go communist or at the very least be political allies/trading partners so they wouldn't be forced to rely on Western Europe.

All though they took it like little bitches even the Europeans wanted decolonization because maintaining Empires are costly and neo-colonies like China, Persia, and Latin America had already proven to be more profitable than many formal colonies. Frantz Fanon described a rush to decolonize as fast as possible so that the subject people wouldn't change anything–which would be far more likely if they won their independence through war with the imperial power.

Still considering France's bloody and expensive wars in Vietnam and Algeria, the Dutch war against Indonesian nationalists after WWII, and the Malaya emergency and the Kikuyu campaign in Kenya that the British went through I wouldn't say that decolonization had *nothing* to do with military force and political might.

A lot of dindus and pajeets with guns after WWII, thanks to two world wars that used colonized troops as cannon fodder/support.

please don't

Dindu or pajeet detected.

Someone's got Masala in their vag

Except in most of Africa the speed of decolonisation was pushed by African nationalists that were afraid that any lengthy decolonisation process would be used by European powers to build up their strength so that they could crush any resistance when they inevitably cancelled decolonisation.

Duterte is a lot different than Trump, though they do have in common that media outlets dislike them. If media actually cared about the overall well being of human life they might as well just take a camera crew every day inside a crap hole like Liberia, Mali etc and show the world how it is there.


Blacks and hindus, you should use the appropiate term. I wonder if black people even use image boards.

I know, I was just pointing out how the Western media can virtual-signal a lot when it comes to politics, and how it can be dangerous to get your views from political satire shows. If you look at the post I said that Silvio Berlusconi was also compared to Trump by the news, but was nothing like him.
