Musk […] dismissed the backlash, saying, “Frankly they need better dirty tricks. The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is soo tired.”
Someone end this man plz
Luigi was a good start but too bad the rest of us are cowards.
December 4th 2024, the day shit rolled uphill.
If you do a search for this story there are almost no American media outlets reporting on it.
Just a small reminder that italians voted Mussolini’s niece to the government.
So they also swing both ways.
They voted him, but after that he started a golpe… That it could be even worse, but he didn’t initially took power just because of people will.
He mostly was loved by the richer class as a good way to stop communists and popular (leftie Christians)
I think you’ve misread the comment. Italians voted for his niece to the current government,

Una mattina mi sono alzato
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
Una mattina mi sono alzato
E ho trovato l’invasor
O partigiano, portami via
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
O partigiano, portami via
Ché mi sento di morir
E se io muoio da partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
E se io muoio da partigiano
Tu mi devi seppellir
E seppellire lassù in montagna
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao
E seppellire lassù in montagna
Sotto l’ombra di un bel fior
Tutte le genti che passeranno
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
E le genti che passeranno
Mi diranno: “Che bel fior”
E questo è il fiore del partigiano
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Questo è il fiore del partigiano
Morto per la libertà
E questo è il fiore del partigiano
Morto per la libertà

Based
I’m 40 this year I may just be getting too old but what does Based mean? I searched for it online previously and the explanation confused me but I see it everywhere along with cap/no cap and bet.
Not much younger than you, but I got you on the definitions.
I’d say based is more or less the opposite of the kids calling things cringe. Speaking truth to power is definitely based.
Cap means a lie or posing. It can be used as a verb to accuse someone of lying to (i.e. “You’re capping”). To say no cap means “I’m dead serious”.
Bet is basically an analog to ok.
This slang all essentially comes from hip-hop and the surrounding culture around it.
Thanking you kindly! I hear some of it at work but am often perplexed.
Real
Now what the fuck does real mean? 😭😭😭
One thing I’d like to add: based only really works with things that are at least vaguely political or controversial, it’s not just a drop-in for “cool” (and it’s also used ironically a lot)
Now that’s how your protest.
It’s a step in the right direction, for sure. Still 100% ineffective unless it’s an actual billionaire instead of a dummy, then we can start calling it a protest. Anything less is masturbation.
An effigy of the president of the united states??
Bravissimo! We Germans should chuck a burned “Leon Hitler” effigy in front of Hitler’s bunker in Berlin.
Don’t forget to use kerosine. It is tradition.
Ah yes, the perfect opposite of Leon Kennedy
Italians rule. First Luigi, now these guys
If Elon was just doing a Roman salute, then Luigi was just doing an Italian goodbye, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“Hi Jack, bye Jack.”
He was a brave Italian avenger and in this Lemmy instance, Luigi Mangione is a hero. End of story!
Nazis must be hung!
“No violence is justifiable” - People who protect Nazis
[Redacted] Nazis ain’t violence. It’s just taking out the trash.
I know you’re joking but I don’t like this take, even as a joke. They’re people, and hurting them is violence. It just also happens to be the right course of action.
Honestly, punching a nazi is the most loving thing you can do for them in the moment that they’re being nazis, because it shatters their delusion of superiority, and that gives them a chance to change, and a life of hate is not a good life. It’s miserable.
You ever see this gif?
Honestly an improvement in that guy’s life. Witnesses said he took off his armband after he woke up. Did he lose his fascist ideas, or just learn they were extremely unpopular and got a violent reaction? Whatever it was, he learned that going around dressed as a nazi was a bad idea, and that’s progress however you slice it.
So rather than “nazis aren’t people” I prefer “punching a nazi is an act of love”.
Wow, that punch was very satisfactory. I agree that we should be punching Nazis and neo Nazis
I love everything about it. The “excuse me, sir, please be reasonable” gesture, the absolute unit of a punch, the way he drops like a sandbag, the clap, and the fact that no witnesses saw anything happen.
Hanged you mean
Unless you’re talking about their penises
Is the Italian Prime Minister #Meloni not a “friend” of Elon musk?
The Italian left is awesome. The Italian right belongs upside down at a gas station
The fuck are you talking about?? Our left party (PD - partito democratico) Is one of the whiniest and most useless party in the world, unable to pick up the class fight in favour of the working class and hellbent in carrying out the sistemic destruction of any real opposition to the current ruling class. Look into its management, Ellie Schlein, its current head, is the most vapid and personality-deprived politicians we’ve seen in the past 20 years, and I’m including Fassino in this list which should say a lot if you know Italian politics
Wow imagine doing this and never watching the original video. An autistic guy said my heart goes out to you, just watch/listen to the source. smh
I did, and I saw not one but two Nazis salutes. I don’t mean to be ablelist if you’re blind and could only hear audio.
Nazi salutes don’t start from the heart like a pledge of allegiance the flag of America does. What flavor is the kool-aid you drinking?
Are you a liar or ignorant? Or maybe both?
https://i.imgur.com/cTxdXlu.mp4 …? Or maybe this https://i.imgur.com/TKduSxt.mp4 Or do these look the same to you - https://i.imgur.com/9MFAxT4.mp4
Check back in 4 years. Nazi has lost all its meaning they way its thrown around today.
You asked for a nazi salute from the heart, and they gave you literal Hitler doing a salute from the heart.
And your reply to that is that the word Nazi has lost all meaning?!
My dude, you don’t even need critical thinking skills for this one. If you cannot straight up realize they are the same gesture, you may be suffering from brainwashing.
You see, the other way I know it’s the Nazi salute, is because their policies are Nazi politics. It wasn’t just the Jews who ended up in camps: it was people of colour, gay people, and the disabled. A lot of Trump’s executive orders/campaign speeches fit into categories concerning those people.
Musk already did a Nazi salute to a cheering crowd a couple days ago, check back on what exactly?
We’ve all watched the video. Notice how when Elon is saying my heart goes out to you, he normally doesn’t sig heil.
Wow imagine being a nazi simp. Smh
Don’t gaslight us. It was a nazi salute. And being autistic doesn’t make you do Nazi salutes, we were fucking murdered by Nazis too.
Minor (but annoying) point:
…crafted from a garbage-filled sack with a print out of Musk’s face affixed…
It’s clearly not a “garbage sack”. It has arms and legs, ffs. Hasn’t the author or editor ever heard of disposable coveralls?
Like I said, a minor point. Please carry on.
It’s clearly not a “garbage sack”.
He was talking about Musk.
It could be garbage bags. Just not only one.
To be fair Ex Husband to Justine Wilson is a garbage-filled skin sack.
It says “garbage-filled sack” not “garbage sack”?
Good catch. It still sure as hell isn’t a “sack”.
A sack of garbage can be human shaped. Look at Elon Musk for example.
Arguable, meat sack.
What is a man? A miserable garbage sack of secrets.
WARNING NSFW: The Ultimate Fate of Mussolini
That’s a good look for fascists.
They should make a big poster of this… As reminder!
But when I say it, it’s a call for action and I get banned from .world.
Do do, not do say.
It’s somewhat of a shame that they didn’t keep that Esso as a monument. That piece of land now harbours a McDonalds, which strikes me as deeply ironic.
To add a bit of context, it’s not universally celebrated. I don’t mean the killing of Mussolini or the fact that there are still fascists or nostalgics, but specifically the disfiguring of the bodies. Even among antifascists, even among partisans, there were those who considered it barbaric. Most famously, Sandro Pertini told the story (he was there, as a partisan) and famously said “I fight the enemy alive”. I think in this perspective, it’s understandable it has not made an official monument.
It’s still a good thing to remind to fascists of where they belong, but it’s not one of the proudest pages of Italian resistance.
I really needed a sequel of Italians vs. Billionaires
