Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.
Thank you. People seriously need to stop acting like words don’t have meaning and it’s impossible for actual fascists to actually exist.
“But whatabout teh mom & pop shops!” was from day 1 a deliberate talking point that existed to delegitimize the very legitimate protests. Do you really think none of the Tea Party contemporaries said the exact same thing about them? “Whatabout those poor sailors who carried that tea who are losing their payday and had nothing to do with the Stamp Act? Whatabout the poor local community merchants who will lose out on all those tea sales now? The Stamp Act is not their fault.” Do you really think none of the loyalists were saying that?
We need to face the fact that we have a class of American citizens who continue to suffer under an oppressive police state. Their protests are valid
Oh, going by the actual definition of fascism and calling fans of Mussolini fascist? How very fascist of you!
