Yet the political outcome is quite the same: desperate white people voting f@scist parties!

What astonishes me the most is that the European Union is doing nothing to prevent citizens’ civil rights and freedom from being eroded. The EU has proven completely useless.

I’m from Italy, I can assure you are not alone 😅

I live in a country with an oppressive government who discriminates people based on race, religion, sexual orientation and already blatantly favours the wealthy with total impunity. Nothing can be worse than this.

You are not Italian. Even our government sees citizens as cows to milk, especially if you are an employee and cannot fraud the tax system like everyone else does.

Am I allowed to say that I trust US Big Tech Corps more than my government and my police officers? Meta still is more ethical (even with the DEI programs cutoff and all the rest) than some corrupt governments.

Seems like the majority voted for him, though.

Dev here. Could you please tell me:

• what instance you have logged in;
• what application version you are using.

The fact that you are seeing “hearts” to like makes me think it is < 0.4.0 because now there are thumbs up/down (since Friendica allows disliking too).

Maybe it will happen in some red state too in the future, to prove them wrong.

Luckily the other right wing groups (ECR and ID) do not align with this view. The EPP is condemning itself to total irrelevance in EU politics.

Did she remember to bring gold, frankincense and myrrh as gifts the Lord?

By the way, she should remember that according to Italian traditions the Befana makes her visit on the night between January 5th and 6th, so her timing was a little shifted.

In my country the far right distinguishes between legal immigrantes, who are cannon fodder for exploitative industry and therefore good, and illegal immigrants, who are criminals and need to be segregated in detection camps.

Both types in any case ar discouraged from marrying the locals (public officers are resistant) and prevented from practicing their religion in public by local legislation (the national one is vague).

For one time I feel my country is ahead of the US 🤣😅😭 maybe it is because we invented fas**sm after all.

Elections? No need for them after the surveillance system is up and running!

Maybe I’m too old (in my late 30) but I tend to be quite cynical. No good has come and the worst part has yet to come.

You are talking to an Italian, we have literal fas*ists leading the government and taking revenge for having been marginalized for the last 75 years so I can not judge other countries in any way.

I thank people replying to my comment because some insights were mind-opening. Unfortunately I think that if we are at this point (in southern and eastern Europe), most policies of the last years have been wrong. People are sick and tired of it.

The real underlying question is: did the EU expand eastwards too soon?

Ahah correct! Each time an Italian hears about an “ugly car” the Duna is the first thing that comes to their mind. It must be wired in our brains.

Never heard of Fiat Duna?
