he was really just a patriot

exactly

In that picture!

Oh gotcha

who got tangled into the mess

It's from a textbook

because of circumstance

It must be true!

road to hell... road to hell

Hw wasn't even in Iberia when the mess started iirc

The nationalists asked him to lead them

he wasn;t in on anything

yeah

Franco was just strong man politics

but modern historiography does paint him as a fascist

@ManAnimal

because everyone who isn't 100% with them is either commie, or a fascist

and an iron grip on society, until he stopped carrying and went to live on his villa the rest of his life and let the government do its own thing

Franco was weird like that

🤔

@Weez that is so wrong I can't equal

he was not a politician...

@Weez lol

he was a general

literally

LMAO

You guys love this

he was that dude tht brought back order to a country in revolution

i guess he was just really into not letting the Commies win...to the point he became a dictator himself

well

Good on Spain

trust me

well idk

Gommies were worse

siding with authoritarianism to stop other authoritarians isnt a really good decision

agreed

but what choice do u have?

lesser evil and whatnot

choosing between a greater and a lesser evil, i'd rather not choose at all

fuck them both

then leave the country
