FIGHTING A FASCISM THAT ONLY EXISTS IN THEIR HEADS

Some people are obsessed with seeing fascism everywhere. They call it out in governments, laws, and pretty much any opinion they don’t like. “Fascist alert!” they cry. But real fascism, the textbook kind, is crystal clear: it’s all about force. About using the State as a weapon—extreme nationalism, a cult of personality, militarism, systematic suppression of freedoms, a single-party rule. And let’s be honest: that’s just not happening in Europe or the US today.

The irony? The only real violence I’m seeing comes from the very people claiming to fight fascism. They’re the ones yelling, pointing fingers, getting aggressive, and trying to shut you down if you don’t agree with them. And no matter how they dress it up, that reeks of authoritarianism too.

So when I see images like these from FEMEN, I can’t help but wonder: are they protesting something real, or just fighting a monster they made up in their heads?

THE PHOTOGRAPHY OF LEVY AVNER

There’s not much info out there about Levy Avner—an Israeli photographer originally from Strasbourg, France, now living in Jerusalem.
His work mostly focuses on artistic and nude photography. Luckily for us, we managed to dig up a solid collection of his pieces… which, let’s be honest, is what we really came here for.

CARIBBEAN PIRATES

The real Caribbean pirates were a whole different breed than the Hollywood kind—though just as savage. They ruled the seas between the 17th and 18th centuries, especially around the Gulf of Mexico, the Antilles, and the northern coast of South America. These guys were rogue sailors, ex-soldiers, or just hustlers who saw piracy as a fast (and seriously dangerous) way to get rich.

They attacked ships loaded with gold, silver, rum, sugar, and anything valuable coming from the American colonies to Europe. Some worked solo, but many were privateers—basically pirates with government permission to rob enemy ships.

Bartholomew "Blackbeard" (Edward Teach) was one of the most feared. He tied smoking fuses into his beard to look even scarier. With smoke pouring from his face, he looked more like a demon from hell than a Disney pirate.
Anne Bonny and Mary Read disguised themselves as men to join pirate crews. They fought like anyone else and didn’t mess around. And Calico Jack became known for his iconic flag (the classic skull with crossed swords) and for sailing alongside Anne and Mary. Spoiler: he ended up hanging by the neck.

The pirate life was brutal. Scurvy, betrayals, brawls, rotten food, and no showers in sight. But there was also a kind of pirate democracy—they voted for their captain, split the loot fairly, and had their own rules, including punishing crew members who stole from each other.
Once they started hitting ships without caring about flags, the major European powers got fed up and hunted them down almost to extinction by the early 18th century.

AMATEUR FLESH: VANESSAWANTSSOME1

Vanessa "golden curls" could be the princess of some fairy tale. A princess locked in a castle tower waiting for her brave prince to come to rescue her. A princess who, while she waits, because she feels loved and desired, dedicates herself to uploading photos of herself naked to the Internet.
Yes friends, the tales change, evolve, and adapt to a much more empowered present.

AMATEUR FLESH: VENGEANCECHIRP

Nika-chan is 19 and a hardcore anime fan. Her thing with cosplay goes way beyond just dressing up — she becomes the character. When she's in costume, she’s not playing around. She is the role.

She’s into weird ideas, playful challenges, and anything that's a little off the beaten path. She loves getting messages, hearing bold suggestions, and vibing with people who have that same mix of geeky and twisted energy.
When she’s not slipping into a new character, she’s drawing, reading manga, or getting lost in her favorite music. She’s all about whatever sparks a feeling — a beat, a panel, or a cheeky message that hits just right.

If you're obsessed with a certain anime, into the schoolgirl, neko, or magical girl vibe, or just curious how far someone’s imagination can really go — Nika might just be what you’ve been looking for.
