    Additional fact: the famous statue of four faces in the cliff of USA was build on land that the USA white invaders illegally stole from a Native American tribe. The American government had recognized the land ownership of that Native American tribe, then illegally stole the land after learning about the rich natural resource, and then build a bunch of expensive faces of three famous people and one not-so-famous people after the thief.

    Commies: “We respect and fondly remember our leader and teacher Kim who lead us to liberation. Let’s build him a monument because we understand people need symbols.”

    Libs: “AAAAAAAAAAOOOOO CULT OF PERSONALITY!” buys some youtuber bathwater

        I honestly don’t know which fandom cults are more gross: the onea around the celebrities that actively play into that, or the ones where the celebrity has no interest in what they’re willing to do. Leaning toward the latter.
