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.
Common but disturbing behavior: investigating whether calling out fascism is a problem, but not invesgating whether fascism is a problem.
Punishing people for saying what they see.
Is it defamation when it’s true?
Truth isn’t truth
That’s the far right motto.
Just a hunch, but it might have something to do with the fact that Meloni is a fascist.
in Italian even. incredibly based.
Meloni needs a good dunking.
Meloni needs a 180° rotation, as do all fascists.
You mean she need to be turned inside out? That’s pretty gross, tbh.
Nor the PM nor this fascist government are our Republic. They should respond with personal offense, not institutional.
There is no war.
Who isn’t fascist/racist in the eyes of the left? You can be a moderate libertarian with a couple of populist beliefs and they’ll throw those labels at you.
This argument is always quite bad but congratulations on a particularly stupid example. You know who really should be seen as fascists? Actual fascists
Read her biography. She is very literally a neo-fascist.
Yeah, you can’t even say that Mussolini has been the best politician in Italy in the last 50 years without being called a fascist. And the little detail that her party is the successor of a neo-fascist party created by Mussolini’s followers.
Man what kind of world is it when you can’t idolize Hitler and Mussolini and want to oppress/exterminate groups of people without being called fascist?
A sane world.
That’s the kind of world.that would be.
