I really needed a sequel of Italians vs. Billionaires
Fascists always end up swinging.
Wish we could just fast forward to that part.
My great grandfather’s buddy took the Mussolini corpse photos while they walked through and sold them to Time magazine, it’s sort of a 6 degrees of separation thing but still a fun fact
Based
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 says “garbage-filled sack” not “garbage sack”?
To be fair Ex Husband to Justine Wilson is a garbage-filled skin sack.
It could be garbage bags. Just not only one.
But when I say it, it’s a call for action and I get banned from .world.
Do do, not do say.
Now I’m a peaceful person, but I can’t deny there’s a slightly disappointing turn a few words into that headline.
Getting harder and harder to remain a peaceful person in current year.
Yea, too bad it’s just an effigy
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.
