Hey, at least Xi is cleaning house worldwide
Regardless of your political position, I assume most people would agree that Xi is the most competent or well-rounded statesman among the options.
There isn’t really a lib friendly option. Guess they aren’t bloodthirsty enough for Yahu
Yahu is, in liberal eyes, personally responsible for the evil that Israel does and once he’s gone, according to liberals, everything’s gonna be sunshine and rainbows.
Zelenskyy
Or even just someone like Macron.
Macron is absolutely hated by most people, or people have no idea who he is
Zelensky doesn’t even run Ukraine
I’m just dropping some names that would change the map coloring. Everyone loves Xi is a bit naive.
Dude has executed over a dozen billionaires. What’s there not to love?
who would they pick? There’s no popular left-liberal world leader right now. Steinbaum or Lula I guess would be the closest?
All the European leaders are unelected and/or extremely unpopular.
Mark Carney, libs seem to love him for opposing Trump
I sure hope that’s true
I do think a lot of Libs are slowly coming around to China…though that might change if the USA and China come into active conflict.

is an unironic psy-op
It’s a place for the far-right to agitate, in the spirit of 2015 reddit
India going with Xi is honestly kinda surprising.
Yeah, I would have been certain it would be Netanyahu.
Another W from CPI (M)
Xi Jingping, the friend and emperor of the heap of all penguins?

Oh yeah, China’s had the penguin vote locked for a while now. Proof:

That sub should be called BasedMapPolls instead apparently
didn’t know Namibia was that based tho
I read recently that, back in 2017, SWAPO made a big show of re-adopting a Socialist ideology. They call it “Socialism with Namibian Characteristics”, though it’s hard to tell how genuine this supposed shift really is.
It coincided with a big trade deal with China, so either a left-faction of SWAPO already was looking to make this pivot, and courted Chinese investment in the process, or an opportunist faction made the rhetorical pivot, thinking it would appeal to China.
I don’t know what actual Namibian economic policy and quality of life has looked like over the last decade, as compared to the previous one. But that would be worth looking at, to see if this “Socialism with Namibian Characteristics” actually amounts to anything
Ohh thats super interesting I didnt know that. Thanks for broadening my horizons :3
R/mapbasedpolls is an unironic psyop.

At first I thought blue meant “no data” but then I realised it was Xi. Damn…
What’s goin’ on with Georgia here too? Are they another Ukraine we gotta’ worry about?
They were Ukraine before Ukraine, but switched to a more realpolitik stance since.
Also Eswatini I think.
Abkhazia and South Ossetia are the Donbass of Georgia really long grains of separatism, except the Russians didn’t wait 8 years and crushed the Georgian army when the war was first winding up, before NATO formed a proper strategy to arm and proxy-fy them.
NATO was arming and proxifying them already, but Georgia is too small and not suicidal enough for a long war.
Nothing about Georgia makes it un-suicidal, and combat in the mountains means you don’t need quite as big a heap of men. Georgia simply was not armed & trained in the same way or timetable that they managed in Ukraine. Whether that was CIA arrogance or a lesser political commitment–you can decide. They got it right on the second try though. And Russia learned the exact opposite wrong lesson.
Georgia was also not as marinated in nationalism, so the general population was not willing to fight, so after losing the initial battles the leadership was forced to negotiate, while Ukraine has a strong fascist presence, who are able to lock the country on the full speed course into the iceberg.
It’s an impossible victory or inevitable death cult.
I think Kim would make a better president of the world than Tronald Dump

is this some fake internet survey? This is not a poll.
this, but with Xi and a map of the world.

Why is there a bunch of other colors in Africa? Are there more options that aren’t shown? Or is it a mixed color when two options are ranked the same?
God please don’t let this dumb fuck subreddit appear on lemmy too. Who cares about some shitty poll where people can lie about where they’re from on?
