Likeness Alert.








An Exploration of Sames. 


(The Late) Kim Jong-Il 
VS. (The Late) Zachary Hale Comstock 


[Enter All Whom by Spoilers S
hrug]


Both Men… 

1.     Rule secluded, totalitarian states.
2.    Integrate their effigy excessively through statue, pictograph, and monument within state.  
3.    Revise history. 
4.    Segregate their ‘useful’ and ‘useless’ populations.  
5.    Have museums crediting their unfounded, anachronistic achievements.
6.    Surround their citizens with auditory incentives, affronts.  
7.    Reward loyalists of their ideologically bastioned regimes.
8.    Run reeducation and life imprisonment zones.
9.    Abhor the United States.  
10.    Live in fear.  
11.    Exist in a fractious yet infinite loop. 
12.    Found their successors by tearing a time/space rift and purloining one.  
13.    Are brutal, dead dictators that ought to have videogames based around them.  

Research based on Delise, Guy.  Pyongyang.  2005.  
And Levine, Ken.  Bioshock: Infinite.  2013.
