Owen Benjamin: Former comedian and actor. Early Life 🧃. Deemed by mainstream as part of the alt-right. Also likes to provide historical background on WWII and Hitler, Catholics and other Qanon type content for widespread dissemination against the official narrative specifically targeting a (rural) White Christian (Protestant) demographic. ((Irony)).

• He has repeatedly claimed that Hitler was “controlled,” “funded,” or “used” by Jews, often framed as secret banking or elite manipulation.
• He presents this as a counter-narrative to mainstream history, positioning himself as exposing a hidden truth.
• These statements are on record in archived clips, transcripts from livestreams, and reporting by journalists who track extremist rhetoric online.

Bromance: “Trump and Netanyahu are dressed the same," one person wrote on X. "It had to be intentional. They're even standing the same."

Malshina (2016) examines political dress as a system of nonverbal diplomatic communication rooted in historical sign traditions and color psychology. Focusing on the necktie as the central visual element of the modern male political uniform, the study argues that tie color functions as an intentional signaling device that shapes public perception of authority, alignment, and intent. Drawing on U.S. and Australian case studies, including George W. Bush’s coordinated use of blue ties and Tony Abbott’s disciplined adoption of sky-blue ties, the article demonstrates that repeated and coordinated color choices operate as message discipline rather than personal style. The study concludes that in high politics and diplomacy, attire extends policy communication by visually reinforcing power, legitimacy, and alliance cohesion, particularly during periods of conflict or political transition.

Who is the president? Netanyahu or Trump? 12.29.25

Same suit. Same red tie. Same staging.

The visual language is unity, authority, and alignment. Two leaders presented as interchangeable symbols of power, not as representatives of distinct nations or roles. The optics collapse hierarchy. It’s deliberately ambiguous who leads and who follows.

In diplomacy, this isn’t accidental. Dress, posture, and framing are part of the message. When everything is mirrored, sovereignty blurs and that seems to be the point.

“You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no Third Worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems.”

Titian’s Bacchus and Ariadne (1520–1523) depicts the moment Bacchus encounters Ariadne after her abandonment by Theseus. The composition is structured through strong color contrasts rather than linear design, with deep blues opposing warm reds and flesh tones. Color functions as the primary organizing force, directing movement, depth, and emotional emphasis. The painting exemplifies pre-Newtonian color practice in which visual balance and perception emerge from the interaction of light, darkness, and hue rather than from spectral theory.
