Wasn't it Kim Jong-Il who elevated his whole dictatorship into god-like status? Or did daddy do that first? I know Kim Il-Song is pretty much worshipped nowadays too, but was he that revered during his time? I'm not too sure.
Either way. Korea shows that dictators can rise into some god-like untouchable status with a little bit of strong arming, which is why we have Negan.
Crazy how quickly he got control of Rick too. Basically handed Lucille off to him as an act of total dominance. That was a pretty symbolic move as well.
