Do you think the new prime minster of Italy is badass?

[Lookingforthetruth]

Yes

No

I like how all the Leftists who don’t even live in Italy and only found out about her yesterday are saying she’s the worst thing for the nation since Mussolini. 😂

[Berethor]

Seems so, but it too soon to know, Viktor Orban is still the most badass european leader. :)

[Oigit]

I don't. But her getting the job does show one of the big truths about politics, it's like a pendulum. If that pendulum does start swinging hard to one side, it's only a matter of time before it swings hard to the other side. Also it does not matter what side that pendulum is swinging hard towards, it always creates fall out for everyone.

Simply because it sparks division and division can erupt into a wildfire. Fire does not care if you or anyone else is on the right or left. It will burn everything and everyone just the same. So the best thing people can do is put their party politics aside and work towards establishing real middle ground. Because the pendulum is a hell of a lot less likely to start swinging hard towards one side or the middle when it's kept in the middle.

As a person, she seems like a pretty intriguing and cool character. Her politics, on the other hand, sound like a necessary "evil" for the country.

In recent days he has been repeating exactly the things that Mario Draghi said until yesterday, despite this he has always made theoretical opposition to Draghi.

Another facist.

[Cubus]

She is not a fascist. Fascism is based on militarism, imperialism, statism and totalitarism, which she is not.

[Philyouup]

Mussolini wasn’t a bad ass, a mad man yes.

[normalice]

She's a fascist.

[Cubus]

Nope, it doesn't fill in the requirements to be called a fascist.

[normalice]

She is only slightly better than DeSantis at hiding her fascist ambitions.

[Cubus]

It's like saying all left wingers are hiding their communist ambitions

[normalice]

Saying one person is covering up her ambitions is not at all like saying a third of the population is covering up their ambitions. That sort of extremely disproportionate false equivalence is, in fact, where fascism gets a lot of its fake justification.

[Cubus]

Italy for many years were ruled by post-communists and no one had any problems, so I don't expect any here

[normalice]

They weren't ruled by post communists but by capitalists. Fascist just call everyone communists because that's part of the fascism scam.

Cool. I'm not clicking on your link, though.

[Cubus]

It's ok. If you don't want to counter my arguements then it seems you concede defeat

[normalice]

It's not so much countering your arguments as not agreeing you have any. You're defending fascism and so don't count.

[Cubus]

Where do I defend fascism?

[normalice]

By claiming the new fascist leader of Italy is not a fascist. Fascism's greatest trick is calling itself freedom.

[Cubus]

According to definition: "The following elements are most often mentioned as integral parts of fascism: nationalism, statism, militarism, imperialism, totalitarianism, anti-capitalism, anti-communism, corporatism, populism, collectivism, and opposition to political and economic liberalism."

As you can see, Meloni doesn;t fit in these requirements. So nope, she's not a fascist :)

[normalice]

That's not the definition. But it even lists "anti communism" as a thing. So that must be awkward for you.

[Cubus]

It doesn't make me awkward because it's only one trait. Democrats after World War 2 were also anticommunist, and nobody calls them fascist.

[normalice]

That wasn't a list of traits but of commonly used themes.

[Cubus]

Reread what I sent again

[ChefPapiChulo]

What you destroyed cubus LOL. Logically and easily defeated.

[Cubus]

@ChefPapiChulo Show me one example in which he logically destroyed me

[normalice]

Yeah, he made it easy. Semantics arguments fall apart if one isn't even self consistent.
