    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.

      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.

      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!”

    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.

        FWIW, Caesin can be turned into a fiber (trade names include Aralac and Lanital when turned into fabric,) which could conceivably be used as clothing.

        It’s also one of the earliest plastics (used in buttons and jewelry,)

      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.
