The Farages of this world are nothing new. Here's a painting from 1920 by Otto Plattner. It shows Death confronting a demagogue by shoving all his hate-filled speeches back down his lying throat.💥 I've added the original German text and a translation beneath the painting.

Interesting thread!
Wilhelm von Osten was a German math teacher, mystic, phrenologist. He also owned a very clever horse he named HANS.
Around 1894, he took his horse on tour, demonstrating his exceptional number sense skills.
van Osten would ask a question: "What is 2 x 6 ?"
Clever Hans would tap his hoof 12 times.
