Looking at the European fascism trend, I'd vote an actual trashcan over those funko-pop Nazis.

What happened to Lord Buckethead?

[-] Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.world 93 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The guy playing him didn't own the copyright, since it was originally from an 80s TV show. Once he made the character famous, the TV show copyright owner fucked him over and he had to come up with his own character, thus Count Binface.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 41 points 2 months ago

That’s pretty shitty. I think count binface is a better name tho tbh.

[-] TwigletSparkle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure the good Lord Buckethead only runs against the Prime Minister in general elections.

Every hero needs a sidekick for the smaller jobs

[-] TwigletSparkle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 68 points 2 months ago

Ok, I'm completely wrong; they're the same person. Lord Buckethead was copyrighted so he had to metamorphasize (painfully by his account) into Count Binface.

Not sure if this is a better supehero backstory though.

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 months ago

I heard he was rebuilt after a long and arduous war on the planet Kopirite

[-] frazorth@feddit.uk 27 points 2 months ago

Interesting back story.

Lord Buckethead has been three different people in different elections.

Count Binface is the second Lord Buckethead, the one who made the character famous when he stood against May in Maidenhead.

May in Maidenhead

That's not a part of the bit, is it?

A sad story involving a young food waste bin and Operation Yewtree.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

The Tories already morphed into Posh Fascists so why would any person with a yearning for anti-immigration, nationalism, extremelly punitive Justice System, genocide support and strong-against-demonstrations, vote for the non-Posh version.

[-] 520@kbin.social 24 points 2 months ago

They believe Tories don't go far enough.

[-] sirboozebum@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago

Should I have posted this in /c/worldnews?

[-] Superfool@lemmy.world 56 points 2 months ago

Why not?

Any victory over fascism should be celebrated, brother.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 months ago

As long as it's the .world world news and not the .ml world news yeah

[-] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I'm ootl. What's the difference?

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

The .ml worldnews blocks anything that doesn't directly support china or communism in general.

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Calling them in support of communism is overstretching the truth even. They're really just run by tankies who operate in support of Russia and China's dictatorships and dont give a shit about economic policy. I got banned from there for saying Ukraine defending themselves was right... they called me a nazi supporter LMAO.

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If they'd met the actual reincarnation of Karl Marx, they'd probably call him a nazi too.

[-] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Yes but they're not actually communists, that's just a facade for the propaganda.

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

I'm sure it would be very welcome there

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 months ago

I thought he was taking about Squarepusher's brother at first.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It does seem like it could be the name of one of the members of Shobaleader One...

Satirical candidate that pretends to be from outer space beat a racist party in the London Mayor election
