  • Honestly I think the article is pretty fair, overall.

    The biggest difference between having a massive right wing pseudo-fascist party in a government majority and that same party leading the majority is how little they feel the need to feign. Like now the right hand man of Meloni can totally bring up the craziest world conspiracy with no proof at all, say he didn’t know it was a bad thing only to repeat the same things a week after.
    The politicians just don’t have to pretend anymore, and they’re slowly stretching the boundaries of what’s normal in favour of their own plans.

    As for the life of everyday people, I’d be hard pressed to find someone, anyone, actually praising this government in public, everyone I hear talking about whatever they come up with is either disgusted or concerned.
    I believe what’s happening now is the same thing that was happening back in Berlusconi’s days: the ones voting for these people are aware that what they’re doing is wrong and they hide in shame until they’re sure they’re surrounded only by the right people.


  • Many people here are talking about buying an iPad and the pencil, but if all you’re doing is reading papers I think this is a massive overspend. There are many inexpensive android tablets that come with pencils plenty good enough for handwriting or non-artistic drawing.

    Of course, you say you have a job so you’re likely not to need to buy the cheapest thing possible (even if you don’t, you’re not forced to buy an iPad, Samsung’s tablet software is quite good), but I don’t want someone with the same use case, who might just be a student, to get the impression they need to spend a grand to read pdfs.
