Watching General Aladeen’s final speech in #TheDictator hits completely differently in 2025.

What once felt like over-the-top #satire now reads like a disturbingly accurate reflection of global #politics. When he mockingly praises #dictatorship and lists its “advantages” — from #media control to unchecked power — it doesn’t just make us laugh anymore; it makes us think.

In a time when #democracy feels fragile, #disinformation rampant, and #authoritarianism rising in parts of the world, the absurdity of Aladeen’s words feels eerily familiar.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s performance, meant to parody, now feels almost prophetic. The jokes haven’t changed — but we have. That speech doesn’t just entertain us anymore. It exposes us.
