A cult of personality arises when an individual uses mass media, propaganda, or other methods, to create an idealized and heroic public image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are usually associated with dictatorships. The sociologist Max Weber developed a tripartite classification of authority; the cult of personality holds parallels with what Weber defined as 'charismatic authority'.

@Laughingblades Who cares? Just go for it. Sure it won't be popular. But you have to create what your jelly orb tells you to.

@radioactivestd :3 I was thinking I'd make a video like this, only with faces of other leaders.
Then it struck me that those other leaders still have a powerful positive cult of personality.
:/ Awwww man.

@Laughingblades We can't always go into the complexities of sociology. But feel free to make a video talking about that and post it as a response.
