It’s early but Italian exit polls confirm the right-wing coalition has won 42% of the vote, all but ensuring they’ll take commanding control of the government.
FDL gets 110 seats, Lega gets 66 seats, FI gets 46 seats, NM gets 6.
Buckle up. We’re about to see Mussolini statues being erected and migrants being hunted for sport.

If that’s your hail mary then it’s another swing and miss.
Trump, current leader and worshipped golden calf of the Republican party, has openly stated many times how, amongst other things, he thinks eliminating term limits are “great” in response to China’s current leader declaring himself president for life, saw how North Koreans were forced to stand and cheer for their leader (under threat of lifetime imprisonment and hard labor for not just them but like 3 generations of their family, mind) and declared that he wants “his people to do the same”, openly declared he wouldn’t concede either his 2016 or 2020 elections if he lost and then proceeded to not do so for either (obviously in 2016’s case it was him not conceding he lost the popular vote).
That last one is particular relevant because he then incited an insurrection against his own country to cling to power instead of peacefully leaving office. And now he’s saying he wants to pardon the people who participated in it. Just in case you were wondering if he thought trying to overthrow his own country’s government was a bad thing.
So yes, by your own argument Trump too has been very open about what he wants and wants to do.

Build commie blocks!
Agree with you on the fact that there’ll be no WW3 (despite it [assuming nuclear exchanges] probably being the quickest way to halt global warming for a time, and helping my boy Xi out), though feel it’s more for pragmatic reasons: why the fuck would anyone want another Land War in Asia™️, especially at the behest of neonazis?
One thing that’s completely missing from the discussion on Ukraine in the MSM is how that the majority of the partisans and irregular militias in Ukraine are the kinds of people who think that Brenton Tarrant did nothing wrong, and worry about Jewish Conspiracies™️. Are they really the kinds of people you’re willing to fight and die for, let alone give access to weaponry that anti-gun shitbags say “dOn’T bElOnG iN cIvIlIaN hAnDs!”
What’s likely to happen is Russia will take the rebel areas and have them become their own countries (with limited recognition, obviously), and Ukraine will be taken over by ethno-nationalists who will likely deport the Jews and Roma, and build statues to honour Brenton Tarrant. The West will REEE about it, but what can it do? It’s either that or Russia owns the whole country; and that’s the best outcome.
The next-‘best’ outcome is Syria 2: Proxy War Boogaloo (starring actual Boogaloo members, ironically enough), where the entire country is thrown into chaos and civil war…where the West will wish Ukrainian Hitler took power there.

A Stevie Ray Vaughan statue was vandalized in Texas with “FTP” during all of that last year, so no statue is safe regardless of who it is.
I mean, File Transfer Protection isn’t really a heavily charged subject but props to whoever for being all for it. Probably just found a convenient canvas imo. But doing what can be fixed with a power washer isn’t the same as physically destroying it so whatever

It does to me. Im not asexual (despite what the dumb online test suggests) so them curves do imo suggest that I come over and admire it in person. Then again it’s more on me than on the statue itself. Im just a horny bastard.
@Goku Black
Imo the opposite. They have too many things to be outraged at and too much free time on their hands.

A statue in italy celebrating an italian literary heroine is deemed sexist and critics are asking for it to be put down.
Critics: “yo wtf she isnt like this!” “Too sexy! This seems like a fanart by a horny artist”
Town authorities: “This is an important piece of art and will attract tourists.
And attract it did. Them cheeks are magnetic. Now ppl pose with it and touch the butt and stuff.
Who the character? I dunno. Ask the italians.
But I mean. Not the first time literary female characters are depicted as sexually attractive to the male audience. ANIME DOES THAT ALL THE TIME and we all know anime, in the eyes of thirsty gamer nerd crowds, never makes mistakes.
My guess is that they’re running out of things to be outraged at?

Yeah, at that point I think it’s better to put it on a literal pedestal.
The museum the next city over has a big ‘ol bronze lion on its property. I know I wanted to touch the thing so much every time I saw it. But it was on a shoulder high base, so it’d look weird and awkward for me to climb up just to touch the thing so I never did.
I mean, I still cry myself to sleep at night over it, but I think doing the same with the lady statue is a nice middle ground that will help keep people from acting indecent around it.

@CaptainXtra
Empires don’t really collapse they shrink and change forms,
This is wildly ahistoric. It’s kinda funny.
Care to elaborate?
 
There were a number of former empires that collapsed and left nothing left, or very little left. Nothing that you’d call enough of a remnant to change and morph into something new. The empires of the ancient world were regularly obliterated from the world when their times were up; Babylon, Assyria, Athens (Dalian League), Rome, Cham Empire, Aztecs, Mayans, and so on.
 
Even later modern empires collapse and entirely disappear, but not as gloriously as the priests of Babylon being crushed by the statues of their own gods at the hands and winches of the victorious Assyrian or melted into ignominy. Simply put: the modern empire exists as not just a political entity but as an economic entity. The collapse of the modern empire is the replacement of one nation’s economic sphere with that of another. The Dutch and Portuguese, once pillars of European colonial imperialism are entirely gone; the Portuguese in fact collapsed so hard they are an accessory to French imperialism in West Africa, deploying troops solely to support French or NATO interests (if the former Yugoslavia).
 
The condition of empire necessarily is dependent on the relative phase of human history it is. During the times of post-tribal slave society the Empire was a strict domination of other societies and would itself be subsumed by other societies and subjugated as slaves to them. And then when the slave state was supplanted by the feudal state and Empire was merely the rule of a family (the Carolingians come to mind) and so on unto the liberal democracies and their markets today and their economic components - direct or indirect as they are - and they shall have their own falls and collapses from the world stage as the bitter and violent ends of the Cham, Egyptians, Romans, and the Elamites.

Honestly, this doesn’t work as a gotcha. Painted or not, the statues still represent white Europeans. Now you can still make fun to the constantly changing definition of whiteness that only include Mediterranean people like Greeks or Italians when they feel like dunking on the Arabs or Africans but once it’s said and done, automatically reverting to “hurr durr Italians are not white le 20% face” memes.

So I just learned that butthurt white supremacists / identity europa morons get upset about the idea of painted statues.
Apparently, the fact that the Greeks and Romans painted their statues and buildings, rather than leaving them bone white as they are interpreted today, is “anti white”. As if the very color itself is their identity.
How delightfully absurd.
 
Man, these White Supremacists are triggered snowflakes.

…..You know, it would make complete sense that those who are/were demanding that all Robert E. Lee statues be torn down would’ve at least taken that into consideration, but apparently (and not surprisingly), they haven’t, even in spite of the fact that they have always purported themselves to be the literal Albert Einsteins of today, at least regarding present-day social issues (and/or “issues”).

Lee was against statues reminding people of the Civil War in general (therefore implying that statues of himself was useless) , in his opinion it was a needless celebration and reminder of a dark hour in American history. They can’t even follow the wish of their own idol

What? They’re renovating. If it was me and I own the place I’d too take them down.
 
And replace them with anime hijabi pictures and video game references.
 
That aside I see this as a minor offense to ppl’s liberty and the like. Is it indicative of a larger scale oncoming oppression? Certainly. It’s the Taliban, after all.
 
But your post is hella loaded. Akin to posting someone vandalizing statues and then saying “Anarchy reigns”.
 
Again, I see your point, and I don’t disagree. I just find your post loaded, is all.

Pretty sure he’s just pulling a DARVO after it was revealed that he’s one of the biggest sources of information leaks of the Trump administration.
 
The wimp.
 
@igotnopicks
 
The measure also includes removing the bust of the SCOTUS Justice who wrote the Dred Scott decision and replace it with a bust of the first black SCOTUS Justice.
 
Which is nice.
 
 
@Ereiam
 
Which is nice.
 
But one of them - House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy - only voted for their removal because they were Democrats.
 
“Let me state a simple fact,” McCarthy said. “All the statues being removed by this bill are statues of Democrats.”
He even said “the bill should go further” and suggested, “Maybe it’s time the Democrats change the name of their party. They may be desperate to pretend their party has progressed from their days of supporting slavery, pushing Jim Crow laws, or supporting the KKK.”
McCarthy even invoked critical race theory, saying Democrats are “replacing the racism of the past with the racism of the critical race theory.”
 
The House minority leader restated his support for removing the Confederate statues and said, “I applaud the Democrats for standing up, removing Democrat statues from Democrat-controlled majorities sent to a Democrat-majority House who accepted them.”
 
I mean, I’ll take it. But ‘shitty person does non-shitty thing for shitty reasons’ doesn’t exactly evoke much confidence.

Lets see what goes on in the american school system:
 
https://twitter.com/thevivafrei/status/1403165030359633925 - is this a good message?
 
Parents at local levels in some status have concerns over the subject being taught:
 
https://krdo.com/news/2021/05/17/parents-speak-out-against-teaching-critical-race-theory-in-el-paso-county-schools/
 
https://www.jacksonvilleinsider.com/north-florida-parents-express-concern-over-critical-race-theory-in-ahead-of-state-discussion/
 
And then from someone that have experienced the real thing:
 
“I can’t really just say what I mean, even though the other side can say whatever,” she said. “To me, and to a lot of Chinese, it is heartbreaking that we escaped communism and now we experience communism here.”
 
In her speech to the school board, which officials made her shorten to fit the one-minute limit, she drew direct parallels between what she saw back then in China and what she sees in the United States today.
 
“The Communist regime used the same critical theory to divide people,” she said. “The only difference is they used class instead of race.”
 
She said she witnessed students and teachers “turn against each other” during the pogrom and saw schools change their names “to be politically correct.”
 
“We were taught to denounce our heritage, and the Red Guards destroyed anything that is not communist…statues, books and anything else,” she continued. “We were also encouraged to report on each other, just like the Student Equity Ambassador program and the bias reporting system.”
 
“This is indeed the American version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution,” she said. “The critical race theory has its roots in cultural Marxism. It should have no place in our school.”
