      They’re angry because their own craniometry told them they were rejects.

      (tangential - Disco Elysium had some really funny racists. Fucking Measurehead.)

    To be fair this is not the first infamous fascist with a bad hairdo, but this one certainly raised the bar. It looks like a bowl cut, but with different size bowls used…

    Ugh seriously it’s so often these dipshits who think their race makes them special. Like I get that they probably are reaching deep into the barrel to find anything that makes them special it’s not like they can fall back on their personalities, intelligence, appearance, or achievement. So they’ve got to brag about not having much melanin when for other folks it’s just a physical feature we have that’s unfortunately got several centuries of baggage to it.

      This one detail is responsible for the kernel of sadness I feel for many on the far right. These are despicable people who were once kids who just wanted to be grownups and do grownup things. And whether due to genetics or due to upbringing, anything else that might have given them a sense of pride and competence is not something they have. As you say - all they have left is trying to push others down, hoping this lands them on top. Damn it’s truly sad.

        It’s been reported by several people, both reporters and those close to Johnson, that his wild hair is an affectation, he intentionally roughs it up before he does anything in the public eye.

          This. He’s trying to look goofy and harmless while being a vile, machiavellian, dangerous politician.

    Found him. Rain Epler. He was environmental minister until 2021. He’s part of the conservative party.

    This is what he looked like in 2017 - a typical conservative type.

      I swear, those (almost-)extremist-rightwing tossers are some kind of clones, remember Donald Trump, Geert Wilders and Boris Johnson? This guy fits right in.

        When I was underprivileged, uneducated youth, I got sucked into football hooligan/neo-nazi circles and actually met some „high ranking nationalist party members“. Two brothers, same haircut as this dude, 300 pounds, 30 yrs old and still living with their mommy in a smoke filled, dirty apartment with a giant swastika flag in the living room.

        Thats what got me out of fascist circles. I was so shocked that people looked up to these morons.

        This actually led to my belief that fascists actually mostly are uneducated and unloved people who get exploited by psychopaths. Those would one would need to take out (by legal means, naturally).
