Christ, what the fuck is wrong with the world? Didn’t we solve this in WWII? Didn’t the world kinda collectively discover that being a fascist, Nazi dickbag isn’t the way to go? What happened?
Thinking defeating the “evil guys” is a one and done type of deal is precisely why we are here.
Somewhere along the line, some of us decided that punching Nazis is wrong. That was a mistake.
Just like how many people stopped being supportive of labor unions, a lot of dummies out there have this misplaced belief that as soon as any problem goes away, we no longer need to uphold the things that solved those problems in the first place.
Of course that’s not at all how the world works. Bad actors are constantly looking for gaps in our defenses. They’re never going to fully go away because there is an ever present 25-30% of humanity that frankly sucks.
It requires a continuous collective effort to stave these despicable motherfuckers off.
You’re super letting the CIA off the hook here. Operation Gladio killed a generation of leftists and leftist resistance in Italy.

Well, contemporary world is full of examples of people being a far right dickbag, even though they declare the exact opposite (as a fine fascist would do), that are"histories of success"
This is OBVIOUSLY just in case some future government might do something that COULD be misconstrued as abuse of office. TOTALLY unrelated to anything the current government might want to do.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Italian senators are to debate plans by the far-right government to decriminalise abuse of office, a decision that has sparked tension with the EU and raised fears over the potential for mafia infiltration in the public sector.
According to Carlo Nordio, the justice minister, the crime is too vague and discourages local politicians and civil servants from signing off on projects due to fears they will end up under investigation, thus causing “economic damage that affects citizens”.
“Very often, the causes that trigger the opening of an investigation against a public official for the crime of office abuse in Italy are of a political nature, and this happens especially in small towns,” he said.
At that point, the opposition party in the city could report to the authorities that the mayor wanted to favour his acquaintance by awarding the sewer construction to his company.
Last November, a court convicted and sentenced more than 200 people of crimes including criminal association, extortion and bribery in what was described as Italy’s largest mafia trial in three decades.
Investigators provided extensive evidence of the ruthless and oppressive tactics employed by the ’Ndrangheta in Calabria to control the local community, including violent attacks, extortion and corruption in public contracts.
The original article contains 671 words, the summary contains 205 words. Saved 69%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
You spelled “fascist” wrong.
Might as well take the initiative and ban pasta while they’re at it.
