I didn't recognize him, with out the piano wire.
Can anyone explain WTF he was wearing motorcycle goggles in this photo? "Working" without a shirt, okay, sure, he wants a sunburn, that's his problem. But goggles? Is this some proto-cybergoth bullshit?
Actually, that is probably exactly what he was going for. Mussolini was a huge proponent of the Italian Futurist movement, and he had a lot of weird ideas about what was futuristic. Stuff like, "In the future, people will make their clothes out of milk." Anyway, aviation and representing aviation was a huge part of that, and he frequently used it in his propaganda.
Futurism was a fascinating movement; many of the ideas of the Manifesto of Futurism by Marinetti have ended up being absorbed by culture. The change of popular music--particularly synthpop, industrial, and techno--really capture ideas of futurism, regarding changing aesthetic tastes away from the classic.
Then a short time later he and the Italian Air force get taught a lesson in aviation by the RAF in Greece and North Africa lmao
Idk for sure, but wheat is harvested when it is very dry (lots of dust)... But then the cloth in front of his mouth is missing ...
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.
Jesus christ, can you people stop meatriding Harris for a millisecond? How do you make this about her?
Do you understand the meaning of the word staged? I was talking about the fact that any appearance of any (important) politician ever is controlled by a team of people specialized in communication. They want to obviously portray the politician in the best light possible, every impression counts. It's not a fascism thing, every politician constructs and curates their image to accomplish their goals and pass the messages they want to the people. Unless you think that these two rich politicians and the billions they get as campaign funding from other rich people are spent on pizza parties and that the videos and pictures they take are authentic lmfao
I'm in a charged enough environment that seeing your aggressive language is too much for me to read beyond three sentences. It doesn't seem you read my full comment based on those three, anyway. You don't need to reply or repeat yourself but if you don't mind clarifying, would you mind considering running it by ChatGPT or something to make sure it's civil first? I don't think my comment warranted this attitude. Thank you.
You are right, I'm sorry for my aggressiveness. My point was that any big politician stages any public appearance and video they make, because they all have a very big team of communication experts who curate the best possible image for them. There is no authenticity ever and that's why so much money is spent on the campaigns. Staging a campaign is not a fascism issue, but a big politics issue
They didn't have McDonalds' to stage a photo at back then.
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.
Trump is so much fatter tho.
I plucka da spaghetti right outta da grounda.
My next tattoo
It's weird that they still did the photo op even after all those bees stung his face
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.
Fascism isn’t about how how convincing the leader is, it’s about how discontent the followers are.
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?
that is some insane drip tbf
The goggles zey do nothing.
I don't get how the goggles are facing upwards but the cap is facing downwards. You don't have to see everything that's in front of you I guess.
The obsession with right wing leaders to look masculine while having absolutely no clue on how to actually be a manly man is fascinating.
When they carted his body away from the Milanese town square, they had to use a front end loader to carry his chin
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
Well we can all be thankful trump kept his shirt on
him frying shirtless is a funny idea though
Dude had some weird body proportions.
Some Alex Jones body vibes.
Must be a fascist thing.
*facist
All dudes had that barrel chest back then
I think it's an illusion due to wearing their pants to their tits.
That and a gut behind the high belt yeah, but I think there was also a popular posture folks tried to give themselves in for photos
This is the answer.
Don't be facist.
Which, I assume, is a racist for faces.
He's the older idea of 'barrel chested'.
Now slightly updated to Elon Musk's 'low poly truck chested'.
Barrel-faced, too
the high waist pants doesn’t help.
