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.
World Governments unfortunately in a nutshell.
Is it defamation when it’s true?
Truth isn’t truth
That’s the far right motto.
Just a few steps from “My secret police will now ‘explain’ to you just how not fascist I am.”
Just a hunch, but it might have something to do with the fact that Meloni is a fascist.
Good on Italy. Everyone, not just school children, should be protected from… name-calling 🤦
You gotta understand them, it would be tedious to run a fascist racist government if you had to compose with such frivolous things as freedom of speech.
Pretty much. Shame in the Italian government for this:
Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 (£858 to £4,290) anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.
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.
If your friend who’s dressed in leather is a Nazi,
They shouldn’t pass the test, and you should probably sever.
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.
Her party is literally far right, nationalist, anti immigration and post facist. What else do you need ? Them wearing an armband ?
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.
