Italian cops are fucking BRUTAL when they get a chance to beat up lefties, so yeah.

I've met people who were there, and the screams of people getting beaten and tortured still haunts them.

Italians are fascists.

They're violently oppressive authoritarians.

[–] SlikPikker@lemmy.ca 62 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Little overly general there.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, should have said "the Italian government and cops are a bunch of fascists". That would have been accurate.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Guess what? The electorate allows it. Encourages it, even.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, lots of gaslighting and demagoguery went into it, just like with Mussolini a hundred ears ago and Trump in 16. People didn't just decide in a vacuum that fascism is the way to go.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The government is fascist, the electorate is just dumb. Doesn’t help that we have nearly 40% abstention rate, last election the people who didn’t vote were more than the votes for the winning coalition.

Genova g8 summit will probably make it to history books in the future as a key event.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27th_G8_summit

There are many shady behind the scenes

Edit: english wikipedia page doesn't give it much justice, italian pages have way more informations

I can't believe that two people got fucking murdered because of this summit
