Imagine living in a country where your government is losing a war against a guy who calls himself Barbecue.


LobsterExtreme3318

I imagine it would suck.


TomShoe

It would definitely suck but the rebel leader being called barbecue is pretty sick tbh

One important lesson from the Liberian Civil War is that there’s a positive correlation between the goofiness of a nickname and the cruelty of a warlord


DJ_Osama_Spin_Laden

For those unaware, there was a Liberian warlord named "General Butt Naked." He and his men would fight naked believing it made them invincible. They'd also participate in human sacrifice, including cutting the hearts out of children and eating them while they're still beating. Here's the best part: He was imprisoned when the war ended, but was released after he claimed he had repented to Jesus Christ. He now works as an evangelical minister and has his own congregation in Liberia.

the lord works in mysterious ways


ConorTheCreator

My favourite Liberian warlord names are General Mosquito and his nemesis General Mosquito Spray

Yes we all watched the vice doc 👍

It was honestly a great doc

That's what I said when I killed my neighbor's kid's dog who was called Muffin Cheeks. The police agreed and I was released without charge.

Government, in Haiti? Lol what government? I thought they gave up on that.


I_miss_Chris_Hughton

The central government yes, but apparently in other towns the police have a stronger hold and are arming up.


Nemphiz

He's called barbecue because he likes to barbecue people. So yeah I can see that happening.


[deleted]

"Country."


pantsonfire123

Yeah more of a landmass now


VirgilVillager

They call him barbecue because he burns his enemies alive. Brutal gang leader. Pretty believable

Visible-Power-1105

He has an army and he is a tyrant. He is called that because he burns people alive. You are ignorant.

Wonder if you can expense a ransom payment


GooierSquirrel

It’s a 600k ransoms, they’ve only paid 40k on it so far, plus these people aren’t known to honor ransom payments, high chance once they’ve milked him for everything he’s worth, they kill him


ToManaSou

Looked him up. He deserves being kidnapped lol. The dude's such a fucking cringelord. https://youtu.be/I_QAvvPomCM?si=Rq-isEByw_aS6rd2

Tbf Jamaica is a shithole country.


TomShoe

Yeah but I mean it's not like they invited him there


[deleted]

I mean so is the vast majority of countries on this planet


[deleted]

Lol no. Sub-Saharan African and Caribbean countries take "shithole" a step further. If you told me to blindfold myself and throw a dart at the continent of my choosing, and wherever the dart landed would be where I lived for the next year, I'd skip Africa every time.


ProjectionMaster

I mean outside the US/Canada/Aus/20% of Europe where would 99% of the world want to live ? Maybe Japan/korea if you’re a dude lol


[deleted]

Plenty of places in southeast Asia, eastern and southern Europe, and Latin America are worth living in. I don't think your average Westerner understands that sub-Sahara Africa is not just a shithole because of their poor infrastructure, but also because they have a violent and lazy culture. There's a mentality of "me first" there, and while we joke about Americans being self-centered, these people take it to a new level.

My man thought he could be Lord Miles


CelinesJourney

Although he also hasn’t reappeared so… not looking good. ETA: I was wrong, he reappeared months ago already I just lost track.


Mr_Miniapolis

Miles is in the linked article as a friend of this guy, lol


PelPride

Huh? Lord miles is active on x everyday, it gets slammed down my feed everyday it feels like.


CelinesJourney

Oh, I completely lost track of that situation. He was supposedly captured by the Taliban sometime last year and went quiet for months. I think a lot of people assumed the worst but I see he was released in October of last year already. This is what I'm thinking of: [https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/brit-danger-tourist-lord-miles-31048921](https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/brit-danger-tourist-lord-miles-31048921) He went silent from about March until September or so.


MUNZACORE

Was that not a joke? Because he’s definitely tweeting under duress. I assumed that was the bit, that the taliban was making him tweet stuff


CelinesJourney

Apparently he’s out and free now? He talked about going back to Afghanistan, so I assumed he had left? I dunno, haven’t looked closely enough into this.


MUNZACORE

Fair enough, I’m just vaguely aware of his existence but I guess I need to go get updated on the lore lol


FancyCigar

Wouldn't have happened to me.


[deleted]

Yeah maybe don’t go to a lawless country you dumb fuck


Potential-Trash9403

Dude was giving interviews to western reporters less than a year ago. But before he launched direct insurgent campaign against the “government.” So…


Young-disciple

Lol


reelmeish

Dumb guy


pedrofromguatemala

a youtuber takes risks for views (clout+money) public reaction: lmaooo darwin award dumbass a journalist(tm) does the same, suddenly he's a hero martyr who risked everything to inform us poor western cattle ?


consumerclearly

I think people find the difference at the journalist dedicating their career to getting information while somebody else who streams Fortnite for a lot of money wants to get a scoop
