role models

Beyblade Sellers.
Mine is Light Yagami. I do honestly believe we have to eliminate the vermin of this world. It would be much safer.

Honestly, if no one is gonna do it I would. I'm not lying I'm actually really serious. A world without crime would be perfect.
I must kill all the vermins in the world, all of them. XD

Idk who my role model is TBH... wait, it's me.

I'm not joking about vermin. Justice has never done me good... ever!

I'm obviously your role model. If it really is you, you should elaborate on why, hah.
I will kill them with Death Note!

Maybe... Okay, too many ppl (including you) are. Why? Because I'm evil.
I don't know if I have a role model. I base many choices off various song lyrics and anime characters, haha. I don't know, I'm sure I have some, I just can't name them individually.
Mahatma Gandhi. His life was so purposeful and had such an impact. Sometimes I think that humans are just plants reproducing, working to keep the system going, then dieing like plants. Then I look at people who actually do something and make a difference and it is motivating.

You the only father that I ever knew"
I hope you all get this pm me if you do
Manuel Neuer. Successful as hell, but still very kind, polite, caring for others, no scandals or showing off at all and keeping his private stuff strictly private. You need a really strong character not to get divorced from reality while being celebrated as much as he is in Germany.
My role model, well I gotta be honest here...

That guy honestly seems like a great person. I'm a Messi fanboy but you can't deny Neuer respect.

You do realize this guy basically always played for the side that benefited him the most?

He supported Stalin's purges of the Red Army, which most historians regard as true Socialism and not the negative, Communist stigma it carries now. As soon as Stalin is dead and the government weakened without a hardcore dictator, he's now all for liberalism and the peoples needs. Amazing how he is regarded positively.

If this were nation states I'd respond to a lot of this but this is a blayblay forum so ye-no.

That part however I can respond to since there was only pre-60s talk. Seeing as how he wasn't into politics until Batista came into the picture.

His positive outcome is actually due to his anti-colonial perspective and played a devastating role in the third world . Since during this time in the world, very few nations would give up there colonies, a mistake on Portugal's end.

Though he's left his "mark on Africa" which is pretty much a mark he intended to make.

Even in Russia he is regarded positively, he even retired with a pension and nice apartment.

Yes, he was in politics before the Batista's... He climbed his way his entire life. He had Stalin's ear for a good while. As for decolonization., that can be viewed as a bad thing because he basically pressured the USSR out colonies leaving a bunch of small, weakened states hat still NEED to feed off Russia's economy.


A couple good intentions don't overshadow everything.

Granted he's regarded positively in the third world. There's a reason for that.

Stalins ear? I think you're confusing Stalin with Khrushchev. Considering Stalin died in 53( prior to Castro being a world icon) the only way he'd be Stalins ear is if he didn't die.

Decolization bad? Where are you from? USSR wasn't concerned about decolonization until Somalia invaded Ethiopia and when South Africa invaded Angola. Even then, the decolonized locations were far more pro-cuba then pro-USSR. As seen in the MPLA. Due to colonization and nationalizing only nation sufficient to Russia was Cuba.

That being because Castro knew that like his people, one needs to be self sufficient before asking for assistance.

Wait, you mean Nikita Kruschev, right? The guy wasn't a politician in Cuba... He was the semi-dictator of Ukraine and later a politician in th USSR. It's not that decolonization is bad, its that doing a half assed job is bad and not stabilizing the country before leaving is bad. Look at Iraq, Libya, etc.

He pretty much ran Cuba from 61 - 63, theres honestly little to no doubt about it. Also considering his desalinization. Its clear he was anti-stalin.

For half assed unfortunely, since my biggest issue considering him was his belief that the Ho Chi Minh shouldn't fight for his people.

Well Libya and Iraq are on a completely different game field with a completely different origin story.
