The obsession with right wing leaders to look masculine while having absolutely no clue on how to actually be a manly man is fascinating.
I feel like part of the problem is that people don't expect fascism to be so goddamn pathetic. They see obvious morons like this or Trump, and they struggle to imagine how they could possibly be dangerous.
I guess the lesson from history here is that just because they're ridiculous it doesn't make them any less dangerous.
Like the stupid titles and vocabulary of the Klan, or the infantile memes of frenworld.
You weren't kidding! Here's an excerpt..
Its chief officer was the Grand Cyclops, who appointed two Nighthawks, a Grand Turk, a Grand Sentinel, Grand Magi and a Grand Ensign in addition to his Grand Scribe. The Grand Cyclops, Grand Exchequer, Grand Magi (second officer) and Grand Monk (third officer) were elected by the body politic of the dens, identified as Ghouls.
What the actual fuck?
Sounds like a game of Dungeons and White Dudes.
They sound like the titles a group of fifth graders would come up with for their secret treehouse club.
Yeah this makes me afraid that I'm going to homebrew some NPCs that accidentally follow this naming scheme too closely

Check out the Behind the Bastards podcast. Robert did a couple on the origins of the KKK and, yeah, they started out basically as a "retvrn to tradition" D&D group who got rebooted into racist terrorists. Bunch of pathetic nerds seeking power and finding it in violent terror.
Fascism isn’t about how convincing the leader is, it’s about how discontent the followers are.
There are plenty of discontent Americans who didn't fall into Trump's cult.
And also sit idly by while his cult tries to seize power, knowing they won't be the first against the wall.

Hitler's book was literally titled "my struggle." His whole shtick was "I'm just this poor downtrodden Everyman trying to help the country, but the bad people won't let me!"

Trump is so much fatter tho.
Now do one where Trump's a centaur being ridden hard by Putin. Or the old two-person horse costume with Trump in the ass. No pun intended.
Honestly thank god even Trump isn't narcissistic enough to think he looks good without a shirt.
Well we can all be thankful trump kept his shirt on
him frying shirtless is a funny idea though
Strong Elon Musk cosplaying as a Libertarian vampire vibes
Mussolini: "Do you want fries with that?"
I plucka da spaghetti right outta da grounda.
My next tattoo
And I had an onion tied to my belt, as was the style at the time.
Meanwhile, even the staged Stalin portraits said, "just try it, motherfucker."
Why does his hand become a part of his jacket? What secrets lie behind that mustache? Will anyone call for a doctor?
He lost his hand during the war, so it was replaced with papier-mache. Very sad.
With his bare fucking hands, apparently.
EDIT: Not to be confused with his bear fucking hands.
A scythe would be too communist and unmanly. /s
It's weird that they still did the photo op even after all those bees stung his face
I didn't recognize him, with out the piano wire.
Hmmmmm
Nothing has changed. Religion and politics to control the masses.
so this is where Putin draws his inspiration from
Staged? You mean that any other politician photo ever isn't staged?
Words can have multiple meanings. Harris didn't go to McDonald's and work a shift as a politician to get the photo op. Her showing up for her "shift" at the White House isn't any more staged, imo. If you want to say that the entire White House is staged, shit like that, then by that metric everyone's job is staged. Which, hey, if you find value in "staging" your home or work area, that's great. I think we should differentiate how Trump & Mussolini here clearly made their decision to do these jobs for just long enough for cameras and potential voters, though. There's really no other substance to take away from the pictures.

It's staged in that every element is fake.
When they take photos of Obama playing basketball, Trump golfing, etc. the subjects are still actually doing those things and actually do them off-camera as pastimes. The comms people are taking real interests and skills of their clients and casting them in the best possible light. The circumstances are staged, but the pastimes are not.
Mussolini never harvested any wheat and Trump never worked at McDonald's. The comms people are completely fabricating their client's interests and skills.
It's not even Dirty Jobs levels of slumming it where they actually do the job but get paid thousands of times more and go to a fancy hotel at the end of the day. They're just models.

Bet you he didn't have a 16year old telling him how to winnow the wheat. And they probably didn't shut down the field for this photo op either.
This was suppose to be at his advantage?
What's with anti commies acting like commies
Fascists are fascists no matter what ideology they espouse
When they carted his body away from the Milanese town square, they had to use a front end loader to carry his chin
