      If Elon was just doing a Roman salute, then Luigi was just doing an Italian goodbye, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          He was a brave Italian avenger and in this Lemmy instance, Luigi Mangione is a hero. End of story!

            I know you’re joking but I don’t like this take, even as a joke. They’re people, and hurting them is violence. It just also happens to be the right course of action.

            Honestly, punching a nazi is the most loving thing you can do for them in the moment that they’re being nazis, because it shatters their delusion of superiority, and that gives them a chance to change, and a life of hate is not a good life. It’s miserable.

            You ever see this gif?

            Honestly an improvement in that guy’s life. Witnesses said he took off his armband after he woke up. Did he lose his fascist ideas, or just learn they were extremely unpopular and got a violent reaction? Whatever it was, he learned that going around dressed as a nazi was a bad idea, and that’s progress however you slice it.

            So rather than “nazis aren’t people” I prefer “punching a nazi is an act of love”.

              Wow, that punch was very satisfactory. I agree that we should be punching Nazis and neo Nazis

                I love everything about it. The “excuse me, sir, please be reasonable” gesture, the absolute unit of a punch, the way he drops like a sandbag, the clap, and the fact that no witnesses saw anything happen.

          Ah. English is not my native tongue so I thought hung was the passive form for hang. Sorry, and thanks for correcting me!

            Don’t worry, this is such an obscure language rule that most native-speakers don’t really know it. It’s for the grammar nerds. If you say “hung” in this context, people will know what you mean, but technically, if it’s ever ambiguous, “hanged” is the very specific, very archaic term for execution by hanging.

        The Italian left is awesome. The Italian right belongs upside down at a gas station

          The fuck are you talking about?? Our left party (PD - partito democratico) Is one of the whiniest and most useless party in the world, unable to pick up the class fight in favour of the working class and hellbent in carrying out the sistemic destruction of any real opposition to the current ruling class. Look into its management, Ellie Schlein, its current head, is the most vapid and personality-deprived politicians we’ve seen in the past 20 years, and I’m including Fassino in this list which should say a lot if you know Italian politics
