It's just irresponsible / dishonest for journalists to call her anything other than what she is: a fascist. It is a well-documented fact and something we need to be completely honest about.
It hits too close to home, she's aligned with the west on everything that matters, Ukraine etc, none too coincidentally enough.
Historically, didn’t fascism begun in Italy?
Ok we got the fascist thing out -first rule of Lemmy politics: identify the fascist. Now what? The comments are so fucking repetitive. It's like an AI is writing everything here.
I'll be honest, i really do get that it's repetitive seeing people reply to every Meloni-related post with basically the same message, but the fact is that it simply needs to be said. People can't ignore how irresponsible the reporting on fascism in Italy is, because if we do, that just allows them to keep moving the Overton window towards apathy, and apathy is a dangerous thing in this context.
I live in Italy. The anti meloni crowd-we're aware of the fascist connection. It's the pro meloni crowd that won't be swayed by this rhetoric. So the question is: now what?
Organize with your local anti-fascists. Unfortunately, some people will never be swayed.
Sorry it bothers you people call out fascism.
Something tells me you don't care about repetitive comments when they're something you want to hear.
I don't want repetitive comments about stuff I like either. It's...repetitive.
