gimulnautti, 1 year ago @StillIRise1963 Those who seek power for power’s sake are often very aware of the kind of narrative you need to build. Even Mussolini held up the impression of Italy being still somehow a republic right until 1939, and there wasn’t internet at those times. Today the strongman has to work even more through storytelling than ever. But Berlusconi, Erdogan, Orban and Putin have shown the way.
