That whole image looks like they just took a poster from 1930s Germany. The style looks just like the posters did in history class 🙃

This sort of realistic depiction of idealized subject matter was popular worldwide during the mid -20th century. It's a style associated with propaganda posters, but also with Norman Rockwell Americana.

Its a style that can trace its origins back to the "Muscular Christianity" movement, which itself is the origin of modern toxic masculinity.

Usually masculinity movements are pushed hard in anticipation of war. Curious that Rogan, Tate, Peterson et al. have reached fairly widespread popularity among young men and adolescents at this particular time in history.

Of course, this could be a side effect of instability in society but one has to wonder.
