Damn, beat me to it. Needs a shot of the bug, though. Those bugs are a great metaphor for our current ruling class.
Verhoeven: make these protagonists as fascist as possible. Even make them from Argentina. Make it as obvious as possible
Average viewer: They just really wanna kill bugs, man. Is that so bad?
What does being from Argentina have to do with being a fascist?
A lot of Italians and Germans went there after WW2 (to hide from their war crimes). You’ll see a lot of Italian and German last names down there.
That’s a stereotype, and complete misinformation.
Most germans in Argentina were Volga germans, regular Germans, Jewish Germans and antinazi Germans who arrived in different waves before WW2. The nazis who fled to Argentina are estimated to be 5,000 vs 1.6 million who moved there between 1919 and 1932. Argentina was chosen so a tiny number could hide among a large preexisting population of the same ethnicity, they are not the origin of that large number.
It’s the same story with Italians: 2 million arrived between 1880 and 1920, before WW2. When fascism arose in Italy, immigration slowed down to a trickle. After the war only 380,000 arrived, a smaller number than the original wave and their descendants.
How does one become a mini-madami?
Run for office… any office. My town has elected positions they have to beg to have filled. Many running unopposed. It’s stuff like “library board”, etc. but you get your foot in the door somewhere
Its just that im missing my two front teeth and that is easy attack material. Id have to wear my partial every time i go in public ill have to wear my partial if i were to run
People vote for policies, not teeth.
Use it as a selling point for universal healthcare (not that you would be able to accomplish that at the small level)
have you considered wearing a shrek mask?
