truman and petan?
William Lyon Mackenzie King?
You would need to rely on childhood cave paintings for Petain
ikr there were a lot better choices than Getúlio.
Mussolini looks the same
Frickin Minilini over here
‘Minilini’ is gold
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.
For Japan it really should be Tojo.
mfw I get into work and it’s already a shitshow
“Knowing my luck I’ll end up being hung by my feet.”
TIL about the Brazilian Expeditionary Force. 25k soldiers is far more significant than I expected!
It’s odd that they all have pictures as kids. It like their parent brought them up into their future roles… hmmm…
Roosevelt is dressed like a rich kid, but his face says “don’t fuck with me”.
His face says “bitch, did I tell you you could have some of my crackerjacks?”
Roosevelt was a girl? Im shocked!
Oddly, De Gaulle reminds me of a short-haired Anne Hathaway. I think it’s in the eyes.
Of course even as a child Churchill is smug
In the “Last Lion”, it’s clear that he was pampered very much as a child by his mother, he was sickly often, and so she doted on him. At this stage in his life, he was very much a mother’s boy.
It’s amazing he turned out the way he did really. He still had some of those tendencies at the end, but a lot of his characteristics were exaggerated. For example his drinking. He didn’t actually drink more than 1 mixed drink a day usually, which he pulled on from his flask throughout. Any of the brandy or sipping beverages he was famous for consuming were typically non-alcoholic so he could retain his wits and make others think he was less together than he was. It was an intentional strategy, also, he still had health issues that prevented him from consuming too much alcohol. But he turned that into an advantage.
It’s honestly pretty incredible how much English propaganda survived the war. I still hear people claim English fighter pilots were orange because of all the carrots they ate to improve their night vision, which was a myth created by the English to keep the Germans from realizing they’d figured out radar.
Young Roosevelt looked remarkably like adult Ryan Gosling.
Oh yeah!
Could already make out the trouble children
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.
I can see it labeled as a school photo of him, but haven’t found any original source confirming that
One might ask oneself “well… how did I get here?”
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.
Can’t verify that one specifically, but a handful survive of his parents, as well as this photo of him from a school yearbook in 1893:
Looks like Rishi Sunak.
This is further proof to my “Rishi Sunak is actually Stalin” lore.
Why are they using the first name for Getúlio only?
