It unlocks a new layer of sadness to this current moment, as (from what I've read so far) the Freikorpsmen at least both fled from and sublimated their fear/hatred of women into violence or heteronormatively 'masculine' exploits, whereas this latest gaggle have put it into... trolling and cosplay?
More alienated from their labor, more alienated from their fellows, more alienated from their mothers, more alienated from virtually every woman they interact with.
The nascent antibolsheviks pulling down the house don’t even know what the word “masculine” means anymore.
I've only just about read the first chapter of Volume 1, and that passage about them going to the local workers' dancing halls in their uniforms, clicking their heels and doing the whole performance of masculine chivalry and getting laughed out of the room. Do we sense any _resonances_ there lmao
