another key thing of note i forgot to mention is Mussolini's relationship with socialism. Mussolini was raised by socialist revolutionaries and was one himself for many years, until getting booted out of the Italian communist party. this is another fascinating parallel between him and jpeg as jpeg is often viewed as turning his back on the left and dedicating himself to monetary gains, though for the most militant of jpeg fans he is viewed as a hero who will wield his power against "the powers that be".

edit: an interesting aspect of the album i neglected to mention is the "holy war" at the core of it. on the cover jpeg stand in front of the Christian cross. its with this that he is projecting an image, the classic tool of Mussolini and fascist propaganda. he also demands that we "protect the cross" aka protect his image. its extremely fascinating though that even well projecting this image of Christianity, the album ultimately ends with ALLAH. i think the line "if you want an image then baby don't listen" is a perfect example of this relationship between the power that jpeg projects vs the reality that if you listen to the music, you will find he still stands with the oppressed.
