Afraid for my furry compatriots in Italy

[Gushousekai195]

The people of Italy just willingly elected a person into power, whom people are calling “the most far-right leader since Mussolini.” Mussolini’s government murdered people who opposed them. Who’s to say Meloni’s government won’t do the same?

She is also against the LGBT lobby. That does not bode well for LGBT culture in Italy, especially furries.

Because they don't want to get curbstomped by the entire UN

They should get curbstomped by the whole UN just for violating human rights, which they certainly will do!

They could simply leave the UN, though, and then the UN can do nothing.

Shame on you for trying, and failing to paint the shattering of the glass ceiling as a bad thing with conspiracy theories, you misogynist

Disclaimer that I don’t know much about Meloni outside of quick sound bites.
But Comparisons along the lines of “X is the most A since Y” can be misleading since it does not necessarily mean X is close to Y.
For instance the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire was widely reported the deadliest incident for US firefighters since 9/11. While that’s technically true, without more context it can create the false impression that the events were comparable in magnitude. The Yarnell Hill Fire killed 19 firefighters while 343 firefighters died on 9/11.
So saying Meloni is the most far-right since Mussolini does not necessarily mean she’s like Mussolini.

HEY! It's not a bad thing that she's a female PM. Her views and comparisons to Mussolini are what frighten me.

Sounds just more and more like you're afraid of a woman in position of power

No I'm not!

I think he’s being sarcastic.

I think he’s being sarcastic.

Not at all, one side appears considerably better than the other at electing women as chiefs of the executive, it's obvious which side considers women as dangerous and/or incompetent, deep down

All told though, this thread goes against the “no politics” rule and will probably be locked soon.

I'm worried by this news, too, friend. (I'm also holding my breath for poor Brazil, too.)
