Brian Molko criticised Giorgia Meloni during a concert at the Sonic Park festival
Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.
You gotta understand them, it would be tedious to run a fascist racist government if you had to compose with such frivolous things as freedom of speech.
Pretty much. Shame in the Italian government for this:
Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 (£858 to £4,290) anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.
Who isn't fascist/racist in the eyes of the left? You can be a moderate libertarian with a couple of populist beliefs and they'll throw those labels at you.
This argument is always quite bad but congratulations on a particularly stupid example. You know who really should be seen as fascists? Actual fascists
Man what kind of world is it when you can't idolize Hitler and Mussolini and want to oppress/exterminate groups of people without being called fascist?
