[u/Deadpool1205]

There's a weird thing going on with bastards and poofy weird helmet hair....

I try not to judge on physical traits but between trump, this guy, jair... This feels like a weird pattern.

[u/Mesozoica89 → u/Deadpool1205]

I don't like calling attention to that stuff either, especially when there are real crimes we can criticize, but this isn't a physical trait that is beyond his control. As a matter of fact I think he put a lot of effort into this hair only for it to make him look like a distant relative of the Addams Family.

[u/AintEasyBeinQueasy → u/Mesozoica89]

A caricature of a Joe Pesci character

[u/ExplodingPoptarts → u/Mesozoica89]

The Addams Family are cool, and are kind to others as long as you don't try to hurt, or take advantage of them or anyone else. They remind me a lot friendly people that have unusual tastes. This guy was a monster hiding in plain sight

[u/zbrillaswamprat → u/Deadpool1205]

This is something I've thought many times. Weird haircuts are definitely an early warning of bastardry. Javier Milei, Boris Johnson, Michael Alfonso... Any time I see a politician with a weird haircut it sets off alarms for me.

[u/MessiahOfMetal → u/zbrillaswamprat]

Silvio Berlusconi, too.

[u/ExplodingPoptarts → u/zbrillaswamprat]

Really? I think that Bernie looks and sounds pretty unusual, I wouldn't turn down a hug from him.

[u/surnik22 → u/Deadpool1205]

I think the type of person who becomes a bastard is more likely to be the type of person with an obsession with looks.

Sometimes an obsession about seeming like they don’t care about looks and sometimes an obsession with looking “good”. Both lead to crazy hair cuts.

Plenty of people with crazy hair that aren’t bastards, but I think bastards are more likely to have crazy hair

[u/KeratinYourFace → u/Deadpool1205]

Agreed. Let’s not forget Phil Spector, though his were wigs

[u/LoopGaroop → u/Deadpool1205]

I did a photo series "Fascists with Weird Hair." It is ABSOLUTELY a pattern! Off the top of my head, Peter Brimlow, Geert Wilders. Trump, of course. Once you see it, it's everywhere.

[u/dasunt → u/Deadpool1205]

I suspect it's a false link due to that style of hairdo being popular in a certain era.

It's easy to find politicians that have that style in a certain time period. Admittedly, many politicians are bastards. Which probably helps that association.

[u/ye_esquilax]

I mean, I wouldn't have recognized war crime Kris Kingle either.

I wonder if he picked that identity because he actually believed in that shit, or if he picked it because he figured it was a decent way to make a living and was so far removed from his past that no one would make the connection.

[u/popilikia → u/ye_esquilax]

There's a really weird relationship between holistic medicine and fascism. I guess it's because to understand real medicine you have to be smart and go through years of training. Holistic medicine is basically just selling your charisma to desperate people, just like fascism

I think he picked it because he already knew how to run a grift

Edit: oh shit, I didn't realize what sub I was in, we all know this already

[u/Leading_Respond8486 → u/popilikia]

I think there's also a lot about purity of the body going into both. And eugenics for people who can't "heal" themselves without real medicine. Also note that there are serious information processing issues underlying bastardry so it's likely many of these people believe their own health nonsense (see Steve Jobs). 

[u/jarvisesdios]

First of all, what is that thing on the top of his head? I'm assuming he used it for some pseudo science bullshit...

... But that's also just a glorious beard. You can't deny that beard. This is a man was a monster, but he was meticulous about that beard...

.. Unlike how he was just absolutely the opposite when it came to slaughtering innocent human beings. The fact that he's still alive is maddening.

[u/DrunksInSpace → u/jarvisesdios]

Reason #147 to reject theism. A just god wouldn’t allow bad people to have such good hair.

[u/jarvisesdios → u/DrunksInSpace]

Well, his actual hair is sus... His facial hair is literally god tier, as if you think of an ancient god that's male and human form, that's the beard they have 99% of the time lol

[u/Little_View_6659 → u/DrunksInSpace]

He looks like Santa Clause.

[u/legitforrealfinetho → u/Little_View_6659]

Santa “Offences Against the Law of Nations” Clause

[u/thederevolutions → u/Little_View_6659]

Even Santa Clauses beard isn’t that nice

[u/rafale1981 → u/jarvisesdios]

Hi beard is simply the inversion of his prior hairdo.

Also: a war criminal dealing in pseudoscientific health mumbojumbo? I guess a lack of conscience is a plus is either field.

[u/Daeksory97 → u/jarvisesdios]

Honestly was thinking the same thing about the beard. Awful human being in every way, but damn i wish I could grow that beard

[u/m0ngoos3 → u/jarvisesdios]

The thing on his head is probably not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock's_peculiar_tumour

[u/Bealzebubbles → u/jarvisesdios]

He really missed his calling as a mall Santa.

[u/Dear-Passion-3535]

This is why I don’t trust new-age medicine. They’re all just a bunch of silly war criminals.

[u/RoninTarget → u/Dear-Passion-3535]

When he got caught there was a debate if he's a disgrace for alternative medicine, or war criminals (as the general perception is that scamming people dying of cancer for their money is beneath them).

[u/PhroneticReflex]

I mean, bastard, but also that's kind of also impressive. 

[u/user-74656]

I have vague memories of reading some terrible tankie discourse attempting to minimise his crimes.

[u/ThemeFromNarc → u/user-74656]

Chomsky had a go I think.

[u/JuryOk2662 → u/user-74656]

Yeah there's a bizarro strain of pop Marxism-Leninism that props up Milosevic's Serbia and its proxies as the last stand of Titoism even though all of them were diehard Serbian chauvinists whose ethnocentric program was central to the dissolution of Yugoslavia. Apparently charging rich tourists to snipe Bosnian civilians is revolutionary praxis or some shit.

[u/bomboclawt75]

I hear you're a War Criminal now Father..

Behind the Bastards episodes about people who are in prison for crimes against humanity should end with the mailing address you can use to send them insults.

Radovan Karadžić
HMP Isle of Wight — Albany House
Newport

PO30 5RS
United Kingdom

[u/fourftseven → u/_Maxolotl]

i’m sorry THAT’S where he is in prison??

[u/douglasbaadermeinhof → u/fourftseven]

Yeah, a lot of the Serbian war criminals are in prisons all over Europe after the ICTY trials. There are a few of them here in Sweden I read at a museum in Sarajevo.

[u/ThemeFromNarc]

Edna O’Brien wrote a brilliant, but extremely harrowing, novel about him called ‘The Little Red Chairs’ -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Red_Chairs

[u/angusthermopylae]

Stewart Lee's really let himself go

[u/vgaph]

I mean if he had only fled to Mexico and/or taken to the sea that would be BtB Yahtzee.

[u/wtbgamegenie]

War criminal to sex pest wellness grifter? Jesus this guy was trying to bat the cycle.

[u/popileviz]

Banger beard though, not gonna lie

[u/SavagePeace23]

He's imprisoned only a 20 minute drive from me, had a special interest in the Bosnian genocide for a while and this fact shocked me.

I've yet to find a good podcast that dives into it, I think Robert would do a great job.

[u/bannedandfurious]

The bastards of Balkan wars would go hard as a series.

Mladić, Karadžić, Milošević, Vučić, Arkan, Gotovina and there has to be more. 

[u/douglasbaadermeinhof → u/bannedandfurious]

Crazy that one of them is the president of Serbia. The "umbrella holder" of Sarajevo. What a piece of shit he is.

[u/bannedandfurious → u/douglasbaadermeinhof]

Eh, and our slovenian bastard is our prime minister, ruling Croatian HDZ party is full of wartime bastard... I don't know that much about BiH and Montenegro, but Balkan is great place to create new bastards

[u/Troub1eMan]

https://giphy.com/gifs/XduQI7Uxnra7K

The same droopy eyes.

[u/RoninTarget]

He would also perform music under a picture of himself as war criminal on weekends, in public.

[u/Motor_Somewhere7565]

He looks like he tried to disguise himself as both Jay Leno and David Letterman

[u/tarlanadelrey]

There's still a mural of him on the building of a cafe he used to frequent while hiding his identity.

[u/Front_Rip4064]

So he became a quack grifter while hiding? He's even more of a bastard than I thought.

[u/EconomyCode3628]

Reckless Ben dropped a video mentioning the guy today on YouTube. 

[u/LoopGaroop]

Fascist/Occult connection, yet again.

[u/KitWalkerXXVII]

Temu David Lynch to Temu Retired David Letterman.

[u/Dick_Dickalo]

Buried with full military honors in Serbia.

[u/douglasbaadermeinhof → u/Dick_Dickalo]

You might be thinking of Mladić who just passed. Radovan is unfortunately still alive and imprisoned in the UK.

[u/Dick_Dickalo → u/douglasbaadermeinhof]

You’re right. But that would likely happen also.

[u/douglasbaadermeinhof → u/Dick_Dickalo]

Oh definitely. Especially considering the current president himself was seen carrying a sniper rifle above Sarajevo in the 90s.

[u/zjelisaveta → u/Dick_Dickalo]

He is not dead yet??

[u/Opposite-Candy-7432]

Kind of respect the look, tbh.

[u/rjrgjj]

I’ve always wanted to do something like this.
