Things have changed a lot today from the time he bought his degree

You don’t understand how this things work, clearly

Get lost Elon, you are a complete disappointment. To think I used to admire this piece of dung, what a letdown

Do get out. I’m an Italian living in the UK and while no country is perfect, any first-world country is better than the US right now to live in. I can’t fathom the idea of dying for a miscarriage, or being forced to have a pregnancy I don’t want, or having my kids go through regular mass-shooting drills and actual mass shootings, or having to ration insulin, or going bankrupt for a cancer, or being shot by a neighbour, or having trials based on theatrics rather than law, or having for-profit prisons and for-profit hospitals, or not trusting our cops, or religious zealots making religion-based laws for everyone, or not having social services, sock leave, maternity and paternity leave, and so on and so on. Honestly our very imperfect countries are a social paradise compared to the USA.

When you call your sweetheart “baby”, is it just a term of endearment or are you actually a pedophile? When your boyfriend is riding you hard and screams “WHO’S YOUR DADDY?!!!” and you scream back “YOU AAARE!!”, is it just a term of endearment or are you actually enjoying incest?
That’s what “furry kids” and similia are, just terms of endearment. There are worse things in the world to pick on.

Goodness, thanks! So fascinating!!

I want a video of this masterpiece while lavaing!

Thanks, that was quite the rabbit hole…

Religion poisons everything.

Or don’t carry guns wherever you go like a fanatical vigilante?! You Americans created a problem that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world.

That’s not necessary, Americans unnecessarily carrying guns everywhere happens all the time

Yes!

Because 1) orangutans are only one of the hundreds of thousands species affected by deforestation, and 2) catching, transporting and confining animals in zoos is hardly an improvement to their life: apes are social animals who live in large groups in large habitats, they suffer in zoos. 3) this is the commodification of sentient beings, ironically the very species they pretend to wanting to help. Greenwashing at its finest.

What does that even mean…

Giovanni Gentile and Benito Mussolini invented fascism. Indeed, it’s history. Whathttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_fascism

Those are the Partigiani, but countless other Italians have been killed because they were against fascism, even before the Partigiani movement formed.

it took a country to back it

So you don’t understand how dictatorship works, ok.

It’s not about skin colour, it’s about a way of life that is considered too radically different from their own: racists assume that muslims don’t want to integrate in Italian society, don’t follow the rules, abuse women with their hijabs and restrictions of movement (muslim women can’t drive nor go anywhere without a male relative). The native Muslim community is so minuscule in Italy that most Muslims are immigrants and speak other languages Italians don’t understand and makes them suspicious. They are concerned they could hide weapons under their tunics and hijabs. They don’t like that they cover their face and can’t be identified. It’s the lifestyle that they are bothered with, the skin colour is irrelevant. Italians were equally racist against Albanians in the 90ies because they were migrating in Italy by the thousands per day and were committing a lot of crimes, and Albanians are caucasians.

That’s exactly the same in Italy, freedom of religion is constitutionally protected. So either there’s something the article is not reporting, ie they are forbidding praying on the pavements of the street blocking the pedestrian circulation (which I promise you does happen), or the ban will simply be vetoed by the court.

Fascism is not exclusively about racism. It’s a government style were the first victims are the citizens themselves. Racism is a component of it.
