IMO, they’re a bit chauvinistic (just like Patriotic Socialism/PatSoc) and homophobic.
Theo tôi, họ hơi dân tộc chủ nghĩa cực đoan (giống như chủ nghĩa xã hội yêu nước) và kỳ thị người đồng tính.
Và tôi cũng là người đầu tiên hỏi câu hỏi này trên Lemmygrad. (And I’m also the first person to ask this question on Lemmygrad).
Tbh I don’t use Facebook and don’t know this group. But on the homophobia part the Burkina Faso case is interesting. They banned homosexuality as a ‘colonial product.’ Here it’s different. Cultural imports made LGBTQ+ people more visible. Old homophobia didn’t disappear. So now there’s conflict. That conflict is how change happens. There’s this guy I heard about who brought a knife to threaten his siblings for having same-sex partners. Now he’s slowly accepting them. That’s exactly how it works. More visibility forces confrontation. Confrontation forces change.
As for the nationalist part, the “patsoc” stuff (honestly, I don’t even know what that word means) serves the party’s interest, channels popular energy into supporting the system. The homophobia in pages like Tifosi is organic backlash to visibility. The party doesn’t encourage it but doesn’t seriously challenge it either. They tolerate advocacy within limits and restrict it when it conflicts with political stability.
