In can’t tell if this is a Measurehead parody done in poor taste, or an actual phrenologist. I’m leaning heavily to the former, not even Nazis are that blatant anymore.
I feel like it’s probably an actual phrenologist because he implies dutch white people were created by Yakub which is really down the black supremacist rabbit hole.
I had to read some actual phrenologist papers from the late 1800s/early 1900s for a college class I took on racism and wow it is some WILD shit. Like the base level is the skull measurements but a lot of those crackpots tried to rope in literally every academic and religious subject they could.
Also fun fact the guy who my university department was originally named after believed that black people weren’t just unintelligent but that melanin made your skull a different shape which also made you less intelligent. It was only found out after some of his diaries were sold at auction. School was named after him for like 70 years.

What’s the saying? A broken click is right twice a day?
I’m pretty sure they’re doing a parody of dipshit white supremacists who genuinely believe that cranial measurments matter
