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?
Lol yes! Eisenhower maybe ok but not if he’s dropped off dressed like that.
Oddly, De Gaulle reminds me of a short-haired Anne Hathaway. I think it’s in the eyes.
Hitler looked like he was useless little shithead even as a kid.
Mussolini looks the same
Frickin Minilini over here
‘Minilini’ is gold
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?”
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…
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.
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
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.
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.
Young Roosevelt looked remarkably like adult Ryan Gosling.
Oh yeah!
Stalin will take your lunch money
He literally started it as a street thug and went on to be a hired assassin.
Hitler will rat him out
Expropriate* your lunch money.
oh my
Apparently he knocked up a teenager (twice) whilst in exile in his thirties, so
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.
Roosevelt was a girl? Im shocked!
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.
mfw I get into work and it’s already a shitshow
