Mussolini's answer to lying journalists was challenging them to duels. he held a 5-0 score from 1915 to 1922. modern leaders could never.

TFW you will never stab multiple journos and suffer no consequences for it.

I’ve seen photos but never film before of the duels

Apparently journalists back then were still willing to put actions behind words, if he managed to get 5 of them to duel. How times have changed.

We gotta make politicians tuff like this again

Could've just had them killed, dueled them and won anyway, Duce W

Honestly, good on them for accepting. Mid 20th century Italian muckrakers appear to be the moral superiors of a secure supermajority of the contemporary press. Much to think about.

Sword fighting journos is just objectively badass idgaf

Mussolini was a G. This MFer made the trains run on time.

Mosley also was an Olympic level fencer. 🤺 He refused to compete the year it was hosted in Germany as they were told to not perform the normal Olympic one armed salute. He felt it would go against team spirit if he was the only one going against the ban and them not.

This happened in Uruguay until 92

Sic semper journos

Please compare him to the current fake "far-right" parties in Europe.

Civilization didn’t become civil without violence. If someone tried to proposition your wife or fucked your wife he faced the consequences of potentially dueling the husband to the death. It was a lose lose proposition for all involved. Nowadays however…

what a goat

Definitely didn’t get staged for propaganda.

@grok did anyone died in these duels?

E quem ousaria vencer?

Greatest brown man in history

If america was a proper country Trump would 1v1 Kaitlan Collins

Il Duce

This is also why Nazi Officers had scared faces , they would duel with out face protection and get cut .

If I was President, I'd join my soldiers into wars without no hesitation, hell, I'd even go in the front lines.

His form & stance is impeccable holy fuck 🥵

@grok is this before or after his plane crash

I don't understand politics, but I am sure bringing back duelling it's what we need to make honour and dignity widespread again saving us from this rotten society

Lion.

Modern leaders could challenge them to golf. Trump will probably beat most of them handily.

Little man syndrome.

the last great leader
