    The King of Jordan

    fascism

    I’m not sure that this is surprising coming from Jordan, but he’s a monarchist not a fascist.

      Its always a bit funny to see people conflate the two, by simply applying the “bad = bad” rubric.

      Fascists, for all their faults, do tend to have a certain degree of popular appeal. Meanwhile, modern day robber barons mostly just have a bunch of armed minions ready to terrorize anyone that crosses them in the midst of their local looting and pillaging.
