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.

It's weird that they still did the photo op even after all those bees stung his face

The obsession with right wing leaders to look masculine while having absolutely no clue on how to actually be a manly man is fascinating.

That photo is the fourth gayest shit I'll see all week.

He's the older idea of 'barrel chested'.

Now slightly updated to Elon Musk's 'low poly truck chested'.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

the high waist pants doesn’t help.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Don't be facist.

Which, I assume, is a racist for faces.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

All dudes had that barrel chest back then

I think it's an illusion due to wearing their pants to their tits.

[–] Arondeus@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 42 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The goggles zey do nothing.

[–] dxc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

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.

And I had an onion tied to my belt, as was the style at the time.

With his bare fucking hands, apparently.

EDIT: Not to be confused with his bear fucking hands.
