What is it with right wing populists and strangely styled blonde hair?

Well the male ones anyway. Marine le Pen's hair is relatively normal. Still blonde though.

@sarajw Honestly could have stopped at “What is it with right wing populists" 😅

@sarajw

It's *almost* like there's a uniform for fascists.

It's *almost* as though it's largely a white people phenomenon.

It's *almost* as though it's a reflection of how fragile and afraid these men are of not "fitting in" with "their people"; so they end up looking the same so they do.

It's *almost* as though the whole thing boils down to insecure white men who expect privilege, and only know how to externalise their issues.

*almost*

Could be pure coincidence though.

@sarajw
Hang on a mo - you're asking why crypto-fascists have a thing about blonde hair? Or why latent crypto-fascists who happen to actually be blonde think they might be special? Hmm, that's a tough one.

@spacemagick Yeah I ... know the association. But why such silly styles? Or maybe like @mattwilcox says they're actually just very delicate snowflakes who feel like their hair makes them, or something.
@sarajw Unconfident people tend to also have no sense of style. Because style is personal expression, and they don't do that. So they just go with a broad symbology they think will make them fit in *and* appear to be aspirational. So... suites, a hair cut, "young" blond hair, and all loosely the same. And because they have no developed sense of taste, none fit together well. Unless they employ a team to manage that. @spacemagick
