I still can't believe that there's actual real people that speak about the "woke" and not just basement dwelling incels on the internet. And we're supposed to keep taking them seriously afterwards. I think that if someone spoke about "woke culture" irl, I would probably laugh in their faces.
The thing I find nuts is that "woke" just seems to be short for "keeping my nose in my own business and treating people who are just trying to live their lives with dignity and respect."
Wild how much they're against basic human decency
She is a self-proclaimed "post"fascist. What do you expect?
At least she’s an actual Italian politician, and not just the lame sparkling authoritarianism we have in the US.
She also gets really pissed when you talk about how her grandfather died/was hung by his heels to rot.
That's Alessandra Mussolini. Meloni is just fascist
I can never keep the fascists straight.
They always end up upside down
Ohh, I would laugh in their face. I don't even think it would be a conscious choice, just a reflex. Either that or I'd look at them like they just said the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I've been told I do that.
QuinnyCoded, always caption images, or provide TTS output 🗣️:
The New Times Sunday, August 23, 2026 Issue front cover with a picture of Giorgia Meloni captioned: ‘It's evident that with Donald Trump, I believed things would be easier, given our convergence on immigration and woke culture. Things have turned out otherwise.’
“I thought he’d be the Hitler to my Mussolini but I’m not even the Melania to his…Trump.”
"Things have turned out otherwise" or "the internation political situation has not necessarily turned in the populists’s favor"
Leopards Ate My Face
Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.
