    Italy seems like a such lost cause tbh. Every move that makes global news seems so terribly antiquated from banning lab meat to protect dying markets to ignoring global warming because that might require real effort to sort.

      It is, but to be fair Italy was very advanced when it comes to labour rights and such, but TBF it was also victim of great external pressures to regress. CIA spent a lot of money, even sponsoring terrorists attacks and failed fascist coups, to move Italy back to fascist, because at some point it had the biggest communist party in Europe and extremely strong social democratic parties.

        I really don’t get the direction of the country tbh. Italy was known world wide for quality engineering in almost every area but for some reason they just ignore digital market. It’s almost like the country has stopped for whatever reason.

          Berlusconi happened… Berlusconi is the tip of a reactionary cultural iceberg that completely ruined the country, and he is the perfect summary of everything that went wrong

          I reckon a whole lot of us should gather in the forests of Germany, once we get enough people we can march down together and let them know what for.

        Italy didn’t exist until the 19th century. Are you saying the whole italian peninsula was a lost cause? Did you forget about the Renaissance?
