Welcome to Progressive Politics! A place for news updates and political discussion from a left perspective. Conservatives and centrists are welcome just try and keep it civil :)
(Sidebar still a work in progress post recommendations if you have them such as reading lists)
I hope the Italians can use this energy for cleaning up their own fascism.
Not sure why this person is getting down voted. The Italian government party calls itself "neo fascist". Meloni says she has a Mussolini bust. They very openly use fascist symbols in their party.
They are protesting their facist government bringing facists ice agents to Italy
That is part of it
I still do not understand why ICE have to be or should be in Italy. Other than toact as some sort of shitty security detail.
ICE itself should not exist. It's primary purpose is to intimidate every normal person and divide our nation, while only the psychopaths and sociopaths cheer them on.
Trump knows they are loyal to him, so he likes to parade them around. I guess now he likes doing this on the world stage.
They want to punish athletes who protest. They’re there to intimidate the Americans, not the Italians or anyone else.
I’m curious to see if any of the athletes who brought their families are gonna stay.
Unfortunately many of the competitors are rich kids with conservative parents, so I haven’t seen any likely candidates yet.
Could you fucking imagine if foreign military forces just started showing up in the states?
You mean like if Quatar built a military base in Idaho?
At least they are not the streets trying to kidnap people.
Italian police were pepper spraying them.
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
So they're just openly brownshirts now?
Yes
Italian police were pepper spraying them.
