I'll believe it when I see it.

He's a hard cockroach to get rid of.

Evil has a way to endure. Just look at Mitch McConnell.

That's who I was thinking of when I first had the thought. Thanks for the reminder

The good news is that Moscow Mitch will be dead soon, too.

They're giving him the Lenin treatment before he's even dead

He's going to be around forever

Only the good die young, assholes live FOREVER

Stalin tried to enforce the Lenin treatment for himself...

It doesn't always stick.

The next person to gain power is 100% going to clean house, because the Russian government is a pit of back biting vipers.

You’re not worried that Putin is really just a puppet for all the oligarchs running the place now? Seems likely they’ll pick a new puppet.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They're all in it together, but the ones less loyal to Putin have a habit of dying.

Putin has had a bunch of them killed.

There's a great podcast called Sad Oligarch that goes over it all.

So yeah, Putin is not currently a puppet ruler.

Good to know, I’ll check out that podcast. It sounds pretty interesting.

A puppet is someone whose actions are fully steered from the outside.

Putin is a person chosen by KGB/FSB because he makes decisions that are very useful its leaders, but he retains a large amount of autonomy.

So far in our species history, the most rich and powerful have not been able to defeat father time (they want to, but they can't figure out how ... Yet).

When I watched the first season of altered carbon, all I thought of was how the worst of our species will be the ones to live forever. I think avoiding death is really just a bio-engineering problem, and will be figured out if climate change doesn't unalive us all first

Let's see them escape heat death of the universe

[–] Isthisreddit@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

But then we have to suffer dealing with them for a few billion years lol
