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.

    Right. Your point? That because many governments are doing it, it’s not fascism? Or are you being sarcastic and denying that lgbtq+ (particularly trans people atm) are being targeted?

        Lol who’s saying italy is a fascist “place”? It’s the current government which is fascist. The party flag literally has a prominent fascist symbol. Meloni constantly spews fascist rhetoric.

                “Nobody is harmed by rhetoric” is an incredibly shortsighted thing to say. And Meloni has already started passing anti-lgbtq+ laws…?

                Also the US very much has a massive fascist presence in its governmental system. And the Democrats are liberals, not anti-fascists.
