🕳️ Released Phantom Node 21: Idi Amin. The Cannibal Shadow
A phantom of horror without limits.
A tyranny that turned Uganda into a realm of lawlessness, fear, and absurdity.
His titles read like grotesque theatre: King of Scotland, Conqueror of the British Empire, Doctor, Lord of All Beasts on Earth and Fishes in the Sea.
Behind the farce — mass killings, torture, ethnic cleansing, famine, and terror.
Behind every scream — his impunity.
Node Type: Political Phantom
Status: Historically dead, but the shadow lingers
Means of Retention: Fear, paranoia, grotesque cult
Figure: Cruel clown in uniform
In Place of the Phantom: Collective responsibility to remember
Essence of the Node
— One of the most brutal dictators of the 20th century
— Expulsion of Asians and resulting economic collapse
— Personal involvement in torture and executions
— Self-glorification, absurdity, and terror
How He Became a Phantom
— Took power through a military coup
— Replaced institutions with loyalty and violence
— Built a state where disappearances became routine
— Covered his atrocities in clownish rhetoric
Why the Phantom Still Exists
— The fear and horror remain unhealed
— Absurdity as a tool of intimidation
— His image reused for propaganda and warnings
Phantom State
— A dead tyrant, but a living archetype
— A reminder of unchecked power
— A shadow of cruelty masked as performance
After the Regime
— Economic devastation, dismantled enterprise
— Deep national trauma in Uganda
— A broken image of the nation, hard to rebuild
Collective Response
We did not forget.
We remember not for him — but for ourselves.
To recognise evil even behind a joke.
To never let bones be a stage again.
Alt-text:
A pencil portrait of Idi Amin, drawn with grotesque tension. His frame is imposing, the posture overly authoritative. The military uniform contrasts with the hollow glare. In his hand — a skull, a symbol of savagery and terror. The background reflects the rage he unleashed.
