He did!
By the way, canonically that is a dedede theme. There's like 3 or 4 different variants of it IIRC and a few of them solely appear in the non-US verson of the kirby anime.
The slow version of the theme is literally called "dictator" on the OST for the anime and is infinitely more jewish sounding.

It was the next logical step, after they started to go back and changed their names in old works, articles and wikis.
There's countless examples, one prominent example being Ellen Page, who went back and got her name changed in articles, wiki and her name in games she's done capture motion for (which is particularly funny, because the character in the game is a woman, and that hasn't changed).
I forget which countries already have anti-dead-naming laws (Canada comes to mind?), but I wouldn't be surprised to learn of anti-dead-image laws or some shit coming into the political dialogue in the future.
Mark my words, it'll be illegal to show old images of troons, pre-transition, before this is all over.

If that happens, it should be legal to change your identity for any reason at all -- no death-faking necessary.

I would argue that Asia in general tends to copy rather than invent, and often the contribution is improvement [although what ends up in China is sold to them by Israeli spies].

The key to Wilson was blackmail.

President Wilson Blackmailed​

Shortly after President Wilson’s first inauguration, he received a visitor in the White House by the name of Mr. Samuel Untermeyer. Mr. Untermeyer was a prominent New York city attorney who contributed generously to the National Democratic committee that installed President Wilson in the White House in Washington in the 1912 election. Mr. Untermeyer was a very welcome guest and President Wilson was very glad to welcome him to the White House. They had met before during the campaign.
Mr. Untermeyer surprised President wilson that he had been retained to bring a breach of promise action against President Wilson. Mr. Untermeyer informed President Wilson that his client was willing to accept $40,000 in lieu of commencing the breach of promise action. Mr. Untermeyer’s client was the former wife of a Professor at Princeton University at the same time President Wilson was a professor at princeton University.
Mr. Untermeyer produced a packet of letters from his pocket, written by President Wilson to his colleague’s wife when they were neighbors at Princeton University. These letters established the illicit relationship which had existed between President Wilson and the wife of his colleague neighbor. He had written many endearing letters to her, many of which she never destroyed. President Wilson acknowledged his authorship of the letters after examining a few of them.
President Wilson left Princeton University to become the Governor of New Jersey. In 1912 he was elected to his first term as president of the United States. In the interim, President Wilson’s former sweetheart had divorced her husband and married again. Her second husband resident in Washington with a grown son who was in the employ of one of the leading banks in Washington.
Mr. Untermeyer explained to President Wilson that his former sweetheart was very fond of her husband’s son. He explained that this son was in financial trouble and suddenly needed $40,000, as he told the story, to liquidate a pressing liability to the bank for which he worked. The details are not relevant here except that the son needed the $40,000 badly and quickly. President wilson’s former sweetheart thought that Wilson was the logical prospect for that $40,000 to help her husband’s son.
President Wilson quickly set Mr. Untermeyer’s mind at rest by informing him that he did not have $40,000 available for any purpose. Mr. Untermeyer suggested that President Wilson should think the matter over and said he would return in a few days to discuss the matter further. Mr. Untermeyer used the next few days in Washington looking into the credibility of the son’s story about his pressing need for $40,000 to liquidate a pressing liability. He learned that the son’s story was not misrepresented in any way to his mother by her son.
Mr. Untermeyer returned to President Wilson a few days later as they had agreed. President Wilson did not hesitate to inform Mr. Untermeyer that he did not have the $40,000 to pay his blackmailer. President Wilson appeared irritated. Mr. Untermeyer considered the matter a few moments and then volunteered a solution to President Wilson for his problem.
Mr. Untermeyer volunteered to give President Wilson’s former sweetheart the $40,000 out of his own pocket on one condition: that Wilson promise Untermeyer to appoint to the first vacancy on the United States Supreme court a nominee to be recommended to Wilson by Untermeyer.
Without further talk, President Wilson accepted Mr. Untermeyer’s generous offer and Mr. Untermeyer promptly paid the $40,000 in currency to president Wilson’s former sweetheart. The contemplated breach of promise suit was never heard of after that. Mr. Untermeyer retained in his possession permanently the packet of letters to insure against any similar attempt at some future time. [or could it be the letters were held by Untermeyer to further blackmail him should Wilson ‘step out of line’? jp]
President Wilson was most grateful to Mr. Untermeyer for everything he was doing to solve his problem. Mr. Untermeyer was a man of great wealth. The law firm in New York of which he was the leading partner, Messrs. Guggenheim, Untermeyer and Marshall, is still today one of the nation’s most prominent and most prosperous law firms. Mr. Untermeyer organized the Bethlehem Steel Company for his friend, Mr. Charles M. Schwab, who resigned from the United States Steel Company to form his company in competition with it.

I am NOT British but I can maybe clarify British Politics for Null, as an outsider with some exposure to it.
I think this is a good position to be in because I'm not ignorant but also not too involved.

Firstly, opinion polls on the parties are useless. Normal people everywhere have, essentially, random political insights rather than anything lucid or useful.
Labour and Conservatives are the same on immigration like the chat said. But the Tories will lie so people believe them.
They're also more or less the same on the economy. Labour will lie and pretend to be more radical, and has people who were more hardcore, but Tony Blair killed that since it was objectively cancerous. Leftybrits pretend this is the cause of all Britain's woes. BUT ALSO the Conservatives are barely free market types. They spend less on services but taxes are still high under them (as an example).

A fair summary of Labour and Tories is that they have less separating them than Democrats and Republicans. It's mostly a matter of flavor. Labour will larp harder about being a working class party. And the Tories are too posh to be like American Conservatives. That's it.
But also everyone who says Democrats and Republicans are the same has some horribly undesirable platform, for better or for worse, and since those are the people who talk about politics online they tend to be confused about Tories and Labour. They are much more of a uniparty than America has but have more 'history' to obfuscate this with.

As for someone like Farage, he's lionized by online right wingers because he's charismatic. But doesn't have much substance. His platform on immigration is basically Poles Out, Pajeets In.

I agree with this take, there’s also a difference in that the Tories are undeniably “the establishment”, where the Republican Party pretends they are not (and these days is full of off-reservation Qtards who are definitely not).

In terms of policies enacted there is little difference between Conservative and Labour. My observation is that Labour has more of the type who get into politics thinking they will do some good, usually for bleeding-heart causes that end up damaging them - but Tories, to a man, are there for their own monetary benefit (and the benefit of the 0.1% class) first and foremost.
