edit: Wait no, it's maybe worse. That's the Ukrainian ambassador to Japan so this is actual weeaboo cosplay: https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2022/02/16/ukrainian-ambassador-to-japan-poses-as-samurai-in-message-to-russia.html

Along with the impressive image, Korsunsky wrote in English and Japanese "We know what we are fighting for. How about Russia?"

    Knights aren’t as sexy to fascism

    What's up with that? Like...I think you're right...but I don't really get why. The space marines of warhammer 40k are closer to knights then modern marines so really its all there...but I feel like Chuds don't really latch onto Knights as a cultural touchstone. Is it just cause they're not trendy or in fashion? Kinda feels like it.

      Might just be an aesthetic thing: Samurai got their swords, Vikings got their axes, Knights have Armour makes it the least accessible and rather boring.
