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

“Make the pants tighter.”
…they’re already pretty tight-
“AS TIGHT AS POSSIBLE!”

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

Ironically, there's a song called "Ich bin Adolf Hitler" (I'm Adolf Hitler) by KIZ that has the line "the jeans are so tight, you can see what I'm thinking ".

I mean if one of these guys started talking to me about the good parts of Mussolini’s regime. I’d stop and “listen”

“Is he gay or European?”

[–] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

In fact they're just present day gay Nazis.

Those boots are clearly fashion over function. They look like they would be really hard to run in...

Beware a cop that walks up in track pants and trainers

Nobody who speaks Italian can be an evil man

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

These two criteria - language and a dichotomy like good or evil - are so disjointed and unrelated, I assume you are joking.

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Type "Die, Bart, die" into the search engine of your choice.

[–] ichmagrum@feddit.de 16 points 1 year ago

I think the historically correct term is "fascist", unless they decide to specifically eschew Mussolini's heritage and model their new regime after the German one instead.

I'm assuming the pretty clear Nazi look of that uniform is on purpose...

AFAIK Italian cops arrested Putin's yacht. Good work, Italy.

[–] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I tend to think a lot of Italians I meet are gay, lol. Am I gaycist?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

Nah, you just need to get your gaydar adjusted
