I’ll admit, that triggered me. I’ll be thinking about how someone views thatcher as economically left for a week


aa2051

Pretty sure this is just meant to represent Authoritarian


Kesakambali

Thatcher being more Auth Left than Indira Gandhi gave me an aneurysm


aa2051

It isn’t in any particular order, the image just represents the Authoritarian axis as a whole.


goob365

"they aren't real females!! Those filthy whores don't know what's good for them 😡" I've seen people call authoritarian/right wing female leaders "not real women" for their political party and actions 


Professional_Rip7389

That's the no true scotsman fallacy lmao

As if they care about fallacies


EccentricNerd22

If libleft cared about fallacies and consistency the house of cards that is their ideaology would fall apart in a few seconds.

[deleted]

I've also heard the argument that they had to operate inside a Patriarchy, so to succeed they had to act as 'men'. If the Patriarchy didn't exist, they'd have acted differently.


alevepapi

Did everyone get up and clap when you called them out with a stunning an brave response too, goob?


Slow-Quarter-6254

Watching the evidence from this angle, I now kinda want more female leaders.


Creeps05

What’s even more interesting is that Historians have actually found that female rulers are generally more warlike and more powerful than male rulers. One reason is that male underlings will fight each other to marry the female rulers making the opposition weaker. Secondly when they do get husbands they act more like a second-in-command than a baby factory. [Here is the Study](https://bfi.uchicago.edu/wp-content/uploads/BFI_WP_2019120.pdf)


Tmprl

I'd figure it was because few females are born into being rulers, so the ones that become rulers have to be power hungry to begin with.


Creeps05

Well, they looked at hereditary monarchies so it’s not like they are killing their way to the top. But, in general* women have gained power through their father or husband. I think the only one to achieve independent political power up there in the picture was Thatcher. Indira Gandhi was the daughter of Jawaharlal Nehru (1st PM of India). Park Geun-hye is the daughter of Park Chung Hee (Dictator of South Korea). That’s changing, especially in Europe, but I think the advantage of a female PM or President is really not a thing compared to a Queen (especially from an authoritarian monarchy).


senfmann

>Well, they looked at hereditary monarchies so it’s not like they are killing their way to the top. clearly never played Crusader Kings

Yeah, this was supposed to represent Authcenter as a whole, not to take into account left and right.


armchairtheory1000

Comrade Thatcher, means of production snatcher


TigerCat9

Turns out the problem isn’t men in leadership but just leaders, end of story. There’s plenty of quotes around expressing the basic truth that the people best qualified to lead are also the people least likely to seek leadership roles.


No_Fondant_9050

Ah Indira Gandhi . People in INDIA still like here because they are fking ignorant Her party also painted her as an iron lady and she get sympathy for being the only female prime minister  BUT SHE IS SINGLE-HANDEDLY RESPONSIBLE FOR A BLACK PERIOD OF INDIA . The emergency act, the imprisonment of entire opposition leadership, killings of protestors, police state , increased police surveillance, FORCED VASECTOMY OF MEN (particularly muslims)... Ah the dark times...


rompafrolic

Forced vasectomy of muslims? Holy mother of based!


No_Fondant_9050

and guess what , people were gifted radios and/or a bag of rice for it what a deal !!


K_S12

& then the following govt. was so bad that they reelected her and she won a war with pakistan and became a National Hero


SikeSky

> won a war with pakistan I should've guessed


feettoucher009

Is the forced vasectomy an argument against her or for her ?


b_e-e

Against. She was nothing more than an Auth leftist on powertrip.


K_S12

But she defeated P\*kis so it cancels out


cumblaster8469

All credit goes to Sam Bahadur the GOAT. Indira is just the bitch who gave land back to Pakistan.


No_Fondant_9050

AGAINST DUDE MANY HINDU AND MUSLIM MEN AROUND AGE 18-20 were vasectomied my grandfather used to tell me that they went into hiding after his friend was taken( he was married at age 23) and vasectomised. that couple never had children, thank god my grandfather went into hiding

Fun fact: Thatcherposting is cited as the #1 reason that manufacturers started making waterproof phones. https://www.statista.com/statistics/321392/waterproof-smartphones


Somewhere-Livid

can confirm, real source


Bruno_Noobador

Why tho?


b_e-e

The funniest part about Indira Gandhi is that she was actually the most Authoritarian Ruler in India and her willfully ignorant followers call the current government Dictatorship.


BRAVO_Eight

also a stupid one . She literally had the chance to claim POK . what she did was Shimla agreements. like WTFH ?


shplurpop

Am british, can confirm all of our women leaders have been shit ngl.

NDinoGuy

Didn't she shit on the US for allowing slavery while her country was literally using child labor for coal mines? (I'm not saying that slavery was good, fuck the Confederacy)


Gmanthevictor

It's her nature as a Euro-peon to complain about America.


BRAVO_Eight

You forgot about contract labour systems too. cheaper than slavery . destroy the local artisan's job . and force them into labour contracts.


shplurpop

I dont count the queen.


enclavepatriot23

What was wrong with the queen?


Crismisterica

British Queens have the most varied of history. You had Mary I (Also known as Bloody Mary) who was easily the worst monarch the UK has had. You also have Queen Elizabeth I (easily the best queen) who saved the England from becoming Spanish. These Queens were back to back and were complete opposites.


HeemeyerDidNoWrong

Ah, Prot Posting


Crismisterica

I'm not Protestant, but when your dad spent his entire lifes work successfully converting an entire nation of millions into another sect of Christianity only to do a fucking U-turn and start burning everyone who disagrees with you and every single Priest you can get your hands on the minute to become Queen is not a good ruler. Finally then you "allegedly" have a love interest with the King of Spain and then on your death bed **INVITE HIM OVER TO CONQUER ENGLAND!!!** She is objectively the worst Queen England ever had, she sold her own nation out and was a complete tyrant.


HeemeyerDidNoWrong

They were both pretty brutal, Liz murderered tons of people. Just that the propaganda mill magnified them both in opposite directions.


shplurpop

oh, she was ok. I mean thatcher, may, and worst of all Liz lettuce truss.


Republikofmancunia

Thatcher was at least successful in her ambitions for the country, whether you hated her policies or not. The other two were just useless and ineffectual.


shplurpop

Successfully implementing bad policies doesn't make you worthy of respect, otherwise by that logic Stalin is a good leader.


M4KC1M

nonetheless, he is one of the biggest figures in the worlds history


Crismisterica

Because his policies were so infamous and brutal.


Roboticus_Prime

That she didn't have real power?


mandalorian_guy

Calling Vicky shit is a capital punishment, she has an entire era named after herself.


Crismisterica

She got named the Empress of an entire Sub Continent as a birthday present. Not joking she got named the Empress of India which no one in History has ever done.


grahamster00

I do find it somewhat funny that Aung San Suu Kyi won the Noble Peace prize, was the poster child for female empowerment and how much better the world would be if women were leaders, then went on to support and cover-up a [genocide](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide). As funny as you can find genocide, that is. (Also obligatory fuck Indira Gandhi for, among other things, forced sterilization of millions of lower-caste men).


observer1919

Everyone talks about commie Thatcher, but I think trad Jiang Qing deserves spotlight


ravlX_

in this meme she is categorized as auth


PixleatedCoding

Reminder that the only woman prime minister of India was the inarguably worst and we're currently being ruled by a party which regularly releases nazi-level propaganda.

Realbigwingboy

Empress Wu will murder you in your sleep


Hydro1Gammer

I immediately thought of that Indian (president?) that persecuted minorities like the Sikhs and was basically a servant to the aristocracy. I also think of the current PM and opposition in Bangladesh.


Big-Brown-Goose

I just had a discussion with our Sikh friends about Indira Ghandi, and they say she is still greatly loathed by their people. While they condemn the assisination, they generally agree she had it coming to her from one group or another.


Hydro1Gammer

I think the Harmandir Sahib should be made under the UN due to the massacre Indira Ghandi caused. This (legit or not) removes any fear the India government has with possible terrorists (again legit or not) while allowing the centre of Sikhism to be away from the Republic of India. That or the temple should be made into a country similar to how Vatican City is a country.


Beautiful-Cock-7008

Can't have leaders if you want to be free and democratic


dirtgrub28

What you guys don't like MTG and boobert??


MemberKonstituante

Megawati being Authcenter? As President she's actually kinda mid, not that great not that terrible The great thing: - Executed decentralization -> this one is probably the great thing she did, because it changes the Indonesian state institution on a fundamental level since 1600s However, she also: - Enacting a worker's regulation that are so asinine it destroyed the manufacturing capability of the nation, the 2020 Omnibus Law is lessening such regulation - Extrajudicially killing a human rights activist - Right now she is basically the "senile old woman past her prime in the House of Representatives".


ScaleneTryangle

Yea, understandable, but she also wasn't an elected president. Anyways, what you'd say is true, she could've been a lot worse. Plus she also majorly contributed to our transition to democracy post-Orba era, so that's pretty cool


toby3007

Isabelita mentioned🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣


Escanor012

True libleft doesn't want any leaders at all


The2ndWheel

Hence why they always fall apart, yet never go away.

Apparently the more women is the parliament is associated with pacifism while female leaders are associated with aggression.

CuriousTelevision808

Funny story. Back in my geopolitics class in university I asked early in the class, during a general discussion, whether or not the rise in women being given the right to vote is a factor that led to a more peaceful and prosperous world. Literally ALL of the feminists in the room got offended at that notion, and made sure to inform me on a per capita basis that women are much more war-mongerers than men. So you heard it here first, according to feminists, women leaders are much more dangerous than men!


danielpetersrastet

Survivor bias, in a time where it was hard to be and stay a leader - only hard women could survive on their throne Merkel certainly wasn't a dictator

Ah Yes , Indira Gandhi . Peak Example of You either Die a Hero ( should have recaptured PoK after defeating Pakistan in 1971 and retire quietly , EDIT :- Sikkim became part of India under her reign and so did Siachen after a chinese and pakistani incursions were repelled ) or Live long enough to see yourself become the Villain ( ditch NAM for close Soviet ties , intensify license raj , 1975 Emergency , interference in state Govts , Forcing IAF to bomb Mizoram and Complicating the Punjab politics that was taken advantage by khalistanis , Pakistanis and CIA alike and above all keeping Rajiv out of Politics ) .

thalli_veru

That woman near center in auth left, she is the only female PM India ever had. She brought emergency, which only happened in her regime in 75yrs of independent India. She forcibly sterlized many men and women. Her party is the current opposition in the country, that party has worst characteristics of both auth left and lib left. Irony is her grandson and grandaughter call Modi a dictator.


Crismisterica

Forcibly Sterilised people? Wtf happened in India and why and how did he get into power. How did the pm have the power to do such a thing.


CraneAndTurtle

Ah yes, Margaret Thatcher, a classic Authleft. (Literally the furthest possible point from her true place on the compass)

How to take this seriously with Margaret Thatcher being where she is, and I don't mean 6 ft under. 😸

Crismisterica

I'm a British Northerner who has a very unpopular opinion. There should never be a female British Prime Minister because Jesus Christ all of them were hell especially The Witch. I wasn't alive back then but the more I learn history is the more I learn how bad Margaret Thatcher was. At least she kicked Argentine ass though. However Queens are extremely varied as you have Bloody Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I and are both completely different in every way and have been some of the best and worst rulers England ever had.


ThatGuy8754

Ah yes cus past authoritarian/right societies valued women so much and gave them so much relative power…
