mfw I get into work and it’s already a shitshow
“Knowing my luck I’ll end up being hung by my feet.”
Funny how they all have different vibes.
Stalin looks like a bully. Hitler looks like he’s been bullied and is going to be a school shooter.
Many of the others look like pompous twats and/or spoilt rich kids.
Churchill was a pompous, rich, spoiled kid. But he did a good job as the war needed.
Hirohito was a prince and Roosevelt was old money. Idk about Eisenhower but American generals historically come from well to do backgrounds.
After a cursory glance it seems like Eisenhower’s family would’ve been firmly middle class, not great but not bad either. So pretty standard merchants.
As someone who used to work with kids a lot, every last one of them look like a little shit who is about to make my day at work measurably worse.
Including the ones in the OP?
For Japan it really should be Tojo.
Hitler looks like the kid which always has a runny nose and asks for games on your Smartphone.
Pretty much. He was bullied most of his life and was an intolerable dickhead. Few people liked him for who he was. He was a sociopath and learned how to manipulate people to pretend to be charismatic or charming to get what he wanted.
Which was revenge on all the people he felt wronged him.
Surely that doesn’t describe any other political figures
Surely not. It’s not like anyone could be compared to Hitler or Mussolini right now on the world stage. It’s not like anyone who could is a deeply disturbed individual who’s using their powers to enrich themselves materially, and to get revenge on all the “bullies” that said mean things to them.
It’s a good thing there’s not someone like that on the world stage right now, because it’d mean we’ve learned fuck-all from history.
Interesting that both Hitler and Stalin are looking down their noses at the camera.
That’s probably reading too much into a snapshot. They’re just kids here.
(But just in case, keep your eye on that little snot who does that in the yearbook)
I was going to say, maybe it’s the power of hindsight, but they both look like asshole shits and Mussolini looks like he is growing up with some serious emotional issues, maybe some hatred for women after his mother dressed him like that.
I had to look up Getulio, which appears to be Brazil’s Getulio Vargas, of whom I had vaguely heard, but knew very little about. Which made for an informative read.
It’s up for debate of he belongs in this life-up, instead of Mao, Pinochet, Franco or even Guevara or the north Koreans, but I’m not sure how available the childhood pictures of those are.
I’d think Spain’s Franco would be more appropriate than Brazil.
Hence why I included him in my list
Hitler looks like an incel and Mussolini looks like he pooped his pants. (Edit: politeness)
so Hitler never changed his haircut since he was a child
Hitler looked like he was useless little shithead even as a kid.
Young Adolf really looks like a mini me version of Hitler, it’s jarring to watch
Looks like he didn’t even switch his hairstyle since he was a kid
what is the source for this?
one doubts that such a photo of young Stalin exists, given the poverty in which the dictator grew up.
School class picture, the priest that let Stalin and his mom stay with him to get away from Stalin’s abusive dad faked a story about who Stalin’s dad was so he could get in to a free school for children of church officials.
I can see it labeled as a school photo of him, but haven’t found any original source confirming that
Mussolini looks the same
Frickin Minilini over here
‘Minilini’ is gold
Roosevelt was a girl? Im shocked!
Why are they using the first name for Getúlio only?
