also, lol at how italy keeps exposing democracy for the farce it is whenever they feel like it. this is like the 4th time in our history they just up and went 'no what we actually need is a technocrat to do this bit' and inevitably it ends in blood and tears
i just think italians are ahead of the curve, really. always have been. they invented the renaissance after all, and were doing fascism before the rest of europe. were also doing T.V. clown populist-plutocrat politicians before everyone else did. also, they're at the cutting edge of fashion.

now they're creating a new kind of government for the 21st century: a government made entirely out of memes. which i guess is not surprising and it's my understanding italians have zero expectations for their government to deliver on anything at all. like i said, ahead of the curve.

it is a spot-on characterization. especially the abject disillusionment at the sight of our elite reconfiguring itself in real time like a tesseract in order to gently caress our society up even harder
E: there is one intensely funny thing that has had me laughing like the joker over the past evening is that they were swearing up and down that our government was really incompetent and that's why it had to be brought down, so they could replace it with smart technocrats. newspapers literally called the as of yet not formed government 'the government of the betters,' i poo poo you not. well, it turns out our betters are basically the fifth berlusconi government with a litttle more representation from the last government coalition. it is such a bitter joke

I think I’ve found a translation of the exchange

https://order-order.com/2021/02/12/watch-macrons-interior-minister-accuses-le-pen-of-being-soft-on-islam-with-translation/

quote:


Gerald Darmanin: In her attempts to rehabilitate [her party], Mrs. Le Pen has gone a bit soft. I find you… you need to take some vitamins, you’re not tough enough here. If you compare your line to what Mrs. Marechal Le Pen [Le Pen’s more openly hardline niece] and Mr. Collard [RN MEP] are saying, there’s a huge difference. If I understand you right, you’re prepared to not even legislate on religion, and you say that Islam is not even a problem. You’ve gone quite far, it’s going to disappoint quite a lot of your voters I imagine.

Presenter: I have to admit I’ve not heard the same thing this evening, Mr. Darmanin.

Darmanin: On the contrary, Mrs. Le Pen says it’s not a problem with Islam, it’s a problem with ideology. The Salafists, the Muslim Brotherhood… (they talk over each other)

Marine Le Pen: Yes I can confirm that I don’t intend to attack Islam, which is a religion like any other. And, because I am strongly attached to our French values, I want to conserve total freedom of religion. That’s my opinion.

Counterpoint: Luxembourg called out German social-democracy as a stinking corpse after it backed the war. The last years of her life exemplified the split, to accept their self(?)-identification is preposterous.

They handed over valuable land to Serbian administration, which is a valid point of criticism from a party rooted in national self-determination. The government also killed some protesters, among them one who "committed suicide" by inserting a bottle into his own throat while in police custody. My friend's not that hung up on the genocide and having to flee, anymore.

Yeah, I'm not that current on Kosovo and Serbian politics, but as far as I remember there are a lot of ethnically Serbian enclaves and cross-over infrastructure so something like that will probably have to happen. Was the old president still the guy who kept being accused of harvesting POW's organs, but the witnesses kept committing suicide?
Edit: but yeah I see how people would get mad about any land concessions. I listened to an interview with a Serbian journalist and apparently over there it's a common assumption that the president is a NATO puppet with orders to settle Kosovo.

Me neither and it's tough to follow without knowing all the bullshit that's gone on since the war and independence. For such a small country it's convoluted.
