      The Infallibility Myth baffles me. What’s that all about?

      It’s like they cranked up the marketing, cult-of-personality bullshit to see how high it could go… and it didn’t have a limit, they were able to brainwash a lot of people with the most preposterous stuff, and they couldn’t help themselves, they just HAD to make their head a demigod.

      “Me perfect in paradise, you utter dogshit capitalist.”
      What is this, a first grader having a schoolyard fight?

      Then there’s Mao. Not quite a demigod, but not quite human either. His myth covering a much larger area and population, so they had to make the myth a little bit subtler. But not by much.
