        Yeah he does have the pouty eyebrows going. Kind of also looks like the godfather if he had a little rascals character.

    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.

    I had to look up Getulio, which appears to be Brazil’s Getulio Vargas, of whom I had vaguely heard, but knew very little about. Which made for an informative read.

    It’s up for debate of he belongs in this life-up, instead of Mao, Pinochet, Franco or even Guevara or the north Koreans, but I’m not sure how available the childhood pictures of those are.

      I’d think Spain’s Franco would be more appropriate than Brazil.

    Funny how they all have different vibes.

    Stalin looks like a bully. Hitler looks like he’s been bullied and is going to be a school shooter.

    Many of the others look like pompous twats and/or spoilt rich kids.

      Churchill was a pompous, rich, spoiled kid. But he did a good job as the war needed.

        Hirohito was a prince and Roosevelt was old money. Idk about Eisenhower but American generals historically come from well to do backgrounds.

          After a cursory glance it seems like Eisenhower’s family would’ve been firmly middle class, not great but not bad either. So pretty standard merchants.
