All we have are Mussolini cosplayers who can’t make the trains run on time, Rockefeller LARPers who can’t build a refinery, and Nikola Tesla tribute acts who’ve never shipped hardware. History will remember this as the age of the cover band. We are ruled by guys who watched a YouTube documentary about Napoleon and said “I could do that” but meant the hat.

@Daojoan not to mention the people who hate fascists but love the footwear
@Daojoan and they can't even pull off the hat
@Daojoan Mussolini couldn't make the trains run on time either, he just claimed he did and shot anybody who disagreed. There's a snopes about it: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/loco-motive/
Some historicans had a great conversation about how _utterly_ incompetent nazi germany was, and the invasion of austria was because they'd run out of food and needed to steal gold to buy more: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/history-of-everything-vs-history-of-everything/id1598692909?i=1000674793848
And of course their military accomplishments were all meth ("pervitin"): https://time.com/5752114/nazi-military-drugs/
@Daojoan LARPers and cover bands do positive things though, we’re talking about wannabe frauds here. And Mussolini was a wannabe fraud himself:
You are giving too much credit for the buffoons. Cover Bands can actually play instruments. I think you mean Air Bands where they all pretend to play instruments with DJ Press Play (aka The Wizard) behind the stage.
Play no attention to The Wizard Joan!
Buy the merchandise!
@Daojoan and look at what Napoleon did with slavery and Saint-Domingue/Haiti.
This analogy is so spot on.
@Daojoan And not even the hat, they are to insecure to rock the bicorn
@Daojoan you forgot about the COD cosplayers.
I really couldn't have put it better.
And our popular media - being overcharged for multiple streaming sites that despite spending billions could not string a simple story together.
