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.

    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.
