  • Things are getting pushed more to the left, though a lot of people are stopping at liberalism I can definitely say that I’ve seen a lot more Italian leftists than say leftists in the U.S., recently the current party that had direct ties to fascism and an ex prime minister of Italy called Berlusconi (Italian Ronald Reagen, member of the Mafia, was a member of a openly fascist party) just lost a referendum that sought to weaken the justice system because they were getting caught and possibly charged for shit (some of it related to Epstein from what I know), which is the first time in a long time that the Italian right lost in votes, another thing that is pushing people left is the situation in Palestine, our current prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, is a trump and Israel bootlicker and she is wildly unpopular right now, so while things aren’t perfect for the left here at least we’re possibly getting rid of a fascist party being in power, though we’ll have to wait for the upcoming elections for that.

    It’s also important to note Italy’s political history, the constitution was by a large part written by communists and had one of the largest communist parties in the world during the cold war though it distanced itself from the soviet union taking a more moderate route, during this time the right wing parties that held power collaborated with the CIA to get rid of communism in Italy by doing a number of terrors attacks and blaming it on the left, which for a while worked, but recently the sentiment amongst a lot of Italians is moving to the left, albeit a more moderate, words like communism and socialism are getting more normalised which is a good thing.













  • I watched this video like a year ago, and maybe it mentioned here or somewhere else, but i do remember hearing that the more reactionary sides of China when it comes to queernes are generally in the country side.

    It’s important to keep in kind that China is a massive country with one of the largest populations in the world, amongst also being a civilisation that has been around for thousands of years, it’s stupid to think all chinese people are a monolith and view queernes the same, i know amongst young people in China queernes is viewed a lot better and pro-queer sentiments are growing.

    It’s also really dumb for rightwing and China bad people to try and depict China as this hell for queer people, it mostly comes from the fact that all they know about China is what western media and governments say about it.
