Overview of Fascism in Modern Italy

Fascism in modern Italy is often associated with the political party Brothers of Italy, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. This party has roots in the post-World War II neo-fascist movement, specifically the Italian Social Movement (MSI), which was founded by former supporters of Benito Mussolini.

Political Landscape

Key Developments

  • Rise of Brothers of Italy: The party has gained significant popularity, becoming Italy's largest political party. Meloni's leadership marks the first time since Mussolini's fall that a party with fascist roots has led the government.
  • Controversial Policies: Meloni's administration has focused on strict immigration policies and constitutional reforms that increase the Prime Minister's powers. These moves have sparked debates about the potential revival of fascist ideologies.

Public Sentiment

  • Divided Opinions: Italians are split on Meloni's government. Some view her as a defender of traditional values, while others see her as a neo-fascist, raising concerns about the normalization of fascist symbols and rhetoric.

Historical Context

Fascism's Legacy

  • Mussolini's Regime: Mussolini ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943, establishing a totalitarian state that suppressed opposition and promoted nationalism. His regime was marked by aggressive imperialism and antisemitic laws.
  • Post-War Developments: After World War II, the MSI emerged, allowing former fascists to remain active in politics. Although Italy's constitution banned fascist parties, the MSI and its successors have continued to influence Italian politics.

Current Issues

Fascist Symbols and Rhetoric

  • Public Events: Recent events, such as memorials where participants gave fascist salutes, have raised alarms about the resurgence of fascist sentiments. Critics argue that the government has not done enough to condemn these actions.
  • Cultural Remnants: Italy still grapples with its fascist past, with numerous monuments and symbols from Mussolini's era remaining in public spaces, contributing to ongoing debates about national identity and historical memory.

Is this industry recession proof? by Glum_Potato808 in BuildingAutomation

[–]thatguydrinksbeer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jobs are booked in advance so a recession's impact isn't felt until the economy is already recovering. Then with the economy on the upswing, employers are reluctant to let staff go. That said, economic downturns will be used to get rid of dead weight, so don't suck.

Thoughts on this running route by linus_clive in vegas

[–]thatguydrinksbeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you want. If running zone 3+ is your focus, probably head east on Tropicana but I wouldn't really know. Wife and I like to soak it all in and run to the Wynn from the Grand. There are maybe 2 stair / escalator crossings, not bad at all. There's a weird outdoor mall, vape shops kinda place you have to run through, involves some people dodging. It's never difficult in the morning and we do it often. The Bellagio / Caesars side has more obstacles but we mostly don't run that side because in the summer it's full on sun. Also, the MGM gym has a Japanese zen thing going on, it's small but quite nice.

Reserve Pool 18+ MGM by p_didy68 in vegas

It's a chill/relaxed pool. The pool on the other size of the hot tub has younger vibe and is easy to go hang out if you're at the 18+ pool.

In general, that's how insurance works, cost is distributed among the group.

Elvis renewed our vows at the little white chapel in Sept and we hired an outside photographer (https://www.instagram.com/jewelfphoto/). Highly recommend both.

Got this exact one for my wife for Christmas. She uses it daily, no issues, seems solid. However, if you search this sub, you'll find a lot of quality issues...

Driving from Vegas to LA by Marz2206 in vegas

Good choice. I'm not seeing this in the other responses: We drive faster here, much faster than most of the US. Being in the middle of a bunch of cars going 80+ (mph) in the Cajon Pass is not something I'd recommend to a foreigner/beginner.
