I Have Been Baptized in Null

"By 2005 the pair [Manson & Dita] were engaged and happily nested in a secluded mansion in the San Fernando Valley, where they lived surrounded by Manson's collections of Nazi uniforms, a foetus in a jar named Ludwig, and a stuffed baboon. 'I had all the faith in the world in our relationship for the seven years we were together. I loved him very much, and when I married him I completely believed it would be forever.'"

.

"Marilyn Manson is being sued by a bandmate for using their earnings to buy Nazi paraphernalia, African masks made of human skin, the full skeleton of a 4-year-old Chinese girl – and ex Dita Von Teese’s $150,000 engagement ring.

According to the suit, band money also paid for Manson’s collection of Nazi artifacts, including 'SS typewriters, swastika wall tiles he had installed in his home library ceiling with custom rugs made to match and Nazi government coat hangers owned by Adolf Hitler.'

Manson is also accused of buying a handbag that once belonged to Hitler’s mistress, Eva Braun, which he later gave to his then-fiancée (and now estranged wife) Dita Von Teese."

there's a photoshoot of her in "a nazi uniform' from her dominatrix days prior to meeting manson and while it is obviously and clearly styled to evoke nazi uniform aesthetics, for the sake of absolute historicity i will say it does not appear to include any actual swastikas? based on my own collection of military surplus gear i use for protests or outdoors stuff, this appears to me to be a tailored, possibly dyed, East German uniform with added braiding. is it supposed to look like a nazi uniform in this context? imo, obviously, yes, thats a big thing in BDSM aesthetics traditionally. is this a literal nazi uniform? no, it's a costume piece that may have been a tailored conversion of an East German (not nazi) officer uniform set, east german uniforms and gear being incredibly cheap on the secondhand market.

however here's a photo of her apparently vol;untarily posing in Manson's actual (alleged) nazi officer hat for him during their marriage (from which the front decal has been removed? or edited out? this prevaricating about nazi memorabilia is so funny, like you KNOW it is a nazi hat, why obscure the swastika? simply a bridge too far? come on):

you dont get to meet and marry someone like that, accept those gifts, and live there for years amongst that sort of collection while shaking your head and frowning the whole time to keep your hands clean lol

Nigel Farage is the leader of Reform UK, a far right party who are currently in the process of a serious bid to become the UK government. they are just straight up evil.

Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior with a bin on his head. he likes to run as a novelty candidate in general and mayoral elections. a big thing he likes to do is run as a candidate against the incumbent prime minister:

(Also pictured: Boris Johnson, Elmo)

Anyway, in brief:

Nigel Farage is currently in the midst of a big scandal about his finances

He has decided to deal with this by 1) making a show of nobly resigning from parliament and then 2) immediately running in the resulting by-election

He has stated that he is letting 'the people' judge his actions and implied that if he wins that will prove that he has been exonerated in the court of public opinion

His goal was presumably to get a big resounding win over the other parties, proving that The People still love him.

the other parties have thus far decided that this is a 'vanity election' and, well, there is one very easy way to ensure that he will not beat any of them, and that is simply not to play.

and as a result the only person who has so far confirmed they are running against him is Count Binface. no matter the outcome this makes Nigel Farage look like, u know, a fucking clown.
