  I know this was a throwaway comment:

  a country that still hasn’t managed to shed all the fascism it obtained during the World War II years.

  But it shows the author doesn’t know much about Italy, and may be surprised to learn they nearly elected a communist government in the 70s.

    Yeah. Techdirt has been saying some weird stuff lately. They threw a fit because Biden said he wouldn’t try to enforce the TikTok ban over the weekend, but was instead handing the ban they fought tooth and nail for to Trump, on Monday, for him to enforce. As pretty much any sane person would assume to be the case. They said things like, “This whiplash-inducing reversal from the Biden administration, after championing the TikTok ban, underscores the arbitrary and politically motivated nature of this decision.”

    Yeah, but the current government is dangerously trending in that direction

      Meloni certainly has a whiff of fascism to her but in a chaotic, haphazard way — sort of a Muskian case-by-case fascism rather than anything coherent.
