Is this where I confess that this is the only thing giving me hope today?

Iā€™m your only friend
Iā€™m not your only friend
But Iā€™m a little locking friend
But really Iā€™m not actually your friend
But I am

Elfin Hobbit in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little locked-safe in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say Iā€™m the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little locked-safe in your soul

I have a secret to tell
Hidden under the stairs
Itā€™s a simple message and Iā€™m leaving out the whistles and cares
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is Robbie B one note spelled s-a-f-e
This thread is infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesnā€™t rest

Did you mean to ask if it was faggotry?

I always thought the fasces of the Roman lictors were intentionally impractical, what with the very heavy rods restraining the axes. You can see examples on the walls of the Senate or the obverse of a US dime. The original Etruscan ones seem to have had thinner rods, more like the Mace of the House, which is probably a usable weapon. But as you can see in @OtherMichaelā€™s post, the fasces of Mussolini put the axe outside of the rods, completely subverting the symbolism. The (Germanic styled) axe has been freed from the restraints, which are left still bound behind it, only the rifle sling and pistol baldric hold it back.
