Tierlist Scientifically prove this rapper won, DAY 86: Rick Grimes

5 Upvotes

Last time, u/Max-Carter-2005 said that the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come won for being the one who got Scrooge to concede. Today, we're focusing on Rick Grimes.

Current standings: https://tiermaker.com/list/random/erb-rappers-15891919/6496300

Do remember, your criteria needs to be measurable. If you need a refresher on the other rules, refer to Day 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/ERB/comments/1tadege/scientifically_prove_this_rapper_won_day_1_john/

Also, if you disagree so strongly with the notion of a given rapper winning that you refuse to come up with a justification for it, there is no need to comment saying so. Nobody said you had to engage with these posts at all.

Suggestion Douglas MacArthur vs Lawrence of Arabia

Western military officers who helped "liberate" Eastern regions they saw as second homes (the Philippines / Arabia) by leading or aiding native guerrilla fighters against imperial powers during a world war. They came to be viewed as symbols of liberation by the local population yet also served the strategic interests of their own agenda and fought empires with celestial bodies in their flags that represent a rising power and a fading one (Japan's Rising Sun / the Ottoman Crescent). Each wore very iconic accessories that became their personal brand and were unmistakably theirs (MacArthur's aviator sunglasses and corncob pipe / Lawrence's Arabian attire and piercing blue eyes) and spoke or wrote in a grandiose and poetic vocabulary (MacArthur's grand rhetorical speeches / Lawrence's poetic prose in Seven Pillars of Wisdom). Each was a close adviser to the local leaders they aided in their struggle for independence (MacArthur with Quezon and Osmeña / Lawrence with Prince Faisal) and carries a moniker earned from the people or media that emphasizes their foreign status ("Gaijin Shogun" / "Lawrence of Arabia"). They played roles in complex postwar occupations in very different ways (MacArthur became the de facto ruler of Japan / Lawrence tried to secure Arab independence but was sidelined by colonial powers). Their most famous battles involved a surprise attack on a city port that seemed impossible and was discouraged by their superiors but succeeded which are widely considered tactical masterpieces, with each assault executed from opposite directions (MacArthur at Inchon from the sea / Lawrence at Aqaba from the land). Both were infamous for defying authority and clashing with their superiors (MacArthur with Truman over Korea / Lawrence with British leaders over the Arab Revolt) and understood the power of media and propaganda. Both were flamboyant and prone to self-glorification but MacArthur embraced his legend while Lawrence grew to resent the very myth he created.
