    Of course he only did fencing like an absolute dweeb. Only willing to risk getting poked once or twice? What a fuckin baby. Duel with falchions, then maybe I'll give a shit.

    Edit; Ha, even in the meme part they gave him a thicker, more medieval sword. Even the chuds who worship him understand on some level that the image of classical renessiance masculinity Mussolini tried so ineptly to project at all times is undermined by delicate, toothpick-like nature of his weapon. The nimble, slender blade, and his bad form with it, also highlight how out of shape he is.

    Imagine why a hated journalist wouldn't want to swordfight a fascist leader in front of audience of other fascists

    What could go wrong

    Sadly for ol' Moose, his fencing skills were no match for being shot in the stomach, strung up, and pelted with rocks.

    I like the part where the mod sticky in the comments claiming it isn't pro-fascism is made by someone with a flair referencing the HRE, or the First Reich if you prefer.

      Are you talking about that cathago delenda est flair? I don't understand how that relates to the HRE, unless there's some other flair I missed.

        It has an SPQR Roman Eagle symbol too, at least in old-reddit it does. The quote is obviously well before the establishment of the HRE but lets be real chuds on reddit and any redditors in general when referring to Rome in any way whatsoever are referring to the Roman Empire and notions of conquest based imperial power and control. They glorify the whole thing with very little care for the details of how it was administered differently at different points in its existence, most won't be able to tell you what the difference the "Holy" part makes. All they care about is it was their 1000 year Reich and that they want another. I'm deeply suspicious of anyone donning Roman aesthetics that wades into political discussion.... ESPECIALLY on Mussolini.

          Thank you for that explanation, that really clears it up for me.

    "I can't take criticism" is a much fucking shorter explanation for his bullhorn machismo than any actual confidence or competence. Reddit sucks ass and not in the good way.

      I was thinkin about the same thing except me going back in time and challenging him to a sword fight just to pull out a pistol and shoot him.
