ronald reagan if he wasn't a bastard:

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

He'd probably have an upper lip. Looks like the lip still cuts off where the mustache was.

Clean shaven… With some fem hair, cute outfits, and a little make up? Hell yeah I would.

Classic socialists are bearded. Politicians today are all mostly clean-shaven.
If the classic socialists were clean shaven, today's politicians would be bearded.
I would still be a communard, only I'd be counter-culturing against the government by being clean shaven.

No. Even my partner developed a huge Marx beard after he became a full tankie.

Clean shaven is like living willingly under bourgeois control.

Death to America

Fucking Romans. I mean i would be, but i would be complaining more about fucking Romans and their customs. And my Engels-like beard would be less cool because it wouldn't be Engels-like.

I would grow my beard 4 times longer to compensate.

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago
