Italy has one of the highest rates of libel suits against the media in Europe, and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is proving journalist associations right.

    I’m sorry, I need to say it:

    Did she check the control singer? If the control doesn’t say she’s a fascist, but the other one does, then it’s not a placebo but her actually being a fascist.

    Well, she campaigned on being a fascist and made a number of racist claims. But after she was elected she toned it down and even said there was no room for classic fascism in Italy.

    So, really, no one should like her.

          I would rather they just dropped off a cliff somewhere. Sadly, it doesn’t appear we will be that lucky at the moment

          What are you talking about? I’m merely making fun of how all the racist italians would lose the racism game if hitler won. They would be next on the chopping block, for sure.

          Sorry you can’t understand the nuance of my statements. Maybe you should ‘fuck off’ back to a reading comprehension class?

    Whinging fascists getting their underwesr tied in a knot because someone calls them fascists has to be thee stupidest thing ever.

    Do the crime, do the time.

    If you don’t want to be named for what you are then change yourself.

    There have been cases like this in the past where the person suing has lost, effectively proving the claims true. I don’t have much faith in the courts in Italy to deliver such a verdict but it would be funny.
