Will non-human races join a human cult of personality?

[ngdaniel96]

I might want to put something as a suggestion for the lore which involves a faction where the leader has a cult of personality for his ideology of uniting all races as one and mandates equality for all races with the downside being that his policy mandates the execution of high profile criminals and communists. When the faction was established, sizable clusters of each race would join the faction as their citizens but the leader desires loyalty thus he created the cult of personality, encouraging every members of his faction to remain loyal to him no matter what. However I don't think I know how likely it is for some people of each races to actually join his cult of personality and faction.

Considering all sentients have similar thought patterns, it's possible. Cult of personality is when an image of a person is actively being prepped up by media. It's farely simple when you're dealing with single-ethnic nations. In that case, national values are very similar and it's easy to set up a likeble personality. Example, let's say Hitler, you would pose him as an ideal german, someone heroic who fights for all germans and tries to improve the world. This would hook up any patriots initially. Then entire nation was sold that Hitler brought the nation from ruin to prosperity. Even today, Hitler is praised by non-germans and non-nazis in general as a capable statesman, while they actually know very little about his economic policies and how effective they were.

In case of different species, it gets more complicated, especially your suggestion. Putting it very simply, it would be like trying to reunite the Confederacy and Union. The two factions have different interests and ideals. In your terms, you would alienate any speciests or nationalists by suggesting absolute equality and unity. Then you would actively aim to terrorize your own supporters because unconditional equality and unity is the main ideal of communists. Only ones you would really pull are the uneducated masses of alien immigrants which would be the minority anyway. Most of the humans would probably fuck off instantly because of Humanity's history with insane dictators.
