        Tbh that’s one of the few good things Mussolini actually can take credit for. That and converting a bunch of swamps into arable land.

        Can’t easily hate something without a proper name for it afterall.

        unfortunately not since everything taught in high school is a lie. the only way to learn things is to read things after graduating (as long as they aren’t written by high school teachers or any other educated person)
