    Did anyone mention how the 1930 tariffs sparked a wave of retaliatory tariffs by other nations, greatly reducing international trade, pushing a natural resources poor Japan to conclude that in order to survive it needed an empire, so it invaded other countries, committing such atrocities that even Nazi Germany was like “whoa dude, chill”, which lead to their participation in WWII, Pearl Harbor and the deployment of nuclear bombs? No?









  • Right now Meloni is suing Daniele Fabbri, a stand-up comedian, for a satirical video he published in 2021.

    The comedian was commenting on some sexist insults the politician received, saying that it’s possible to criticise a public figure without being misoginistic. Being a comedian he did that by listing some overly childish insults along the lines of “stinky” and such.

    It is very troubling when a prime minister aims to silence dissident voices exercising the protected right to satire, and I find it particularly egregious given said person was basically defending her as a woman even while criticising her as a politician and public figure.
