Yep I thought Putin as soon as I seen the thread.

Scotland First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, is adored. Not by everyone but by the majority. Not technically head of state, that would be the queen, but still worth a mention.

I believe it's tremendously disrespectful to mention terrible dictators as those typed here, even in jest . It's a shame that we still have dictatorships in humanity still in 2015. We must root out this obscenity of existence, never make fun of that sadness.

Hans-Adam II von und zu Liechtenstein.

Smart guy. There is no cult around him, but people are generally quite happy with his and Alois' work.

I believe if you look closely, the democracies are the minorities around the world. There are zillions of dictatorships out there and many of their people are more than happy to argue with you about how successful and relevant and competitive their anti-democracy is and how poor or 'castrated' their democratic neighbors are.
It's really quite amusing tbh.

We don't really have any reliable metrics by which to gauge how well-loved Kim is. It is easy to brainwash people into feeling affection for someone or something. Elvis Presley, Twitter, Light beer, whatever.

This thread is about people who are loved, not people who deserve to be loved. Nor about people that you love. Nor about paying respect to anybody.
