1. Here comes the comment from accounts named [adjective]_ [noun]_[number] that are barely a few days or weeks old saying horrible shit about immigration, completely ignoring the topic at hand

2. Ilaria Salis, self-proclaimed justice warrior should be sent to deal with the farmers here, with a hammer and a screwdriver.

   Edit: that’s what she does, and she was elected as a MEP as a result, so I thought Italians think this is the way to solve problems

3. Who could have guessed that human rights abuses would be prolific while Italy has a far-right government?

4. That’s extremely cruel, he could have survived. Good that the local community, trade unions, and also Meloni’s reactions show that this is unacceptable

5. These fucking immigrants just cant stop living off welfare cant they? /s

   You can bet this headline wont get NEARLY as much cover compared to when some immigrant commits a crime.

6. Saw that in the news today here in Australia. That’s pretty fucked up to just dump him on the side of the road.

7. I feel sadness and shame for this, we have a huge problem with worker rights in agriculture and yet people fail to understand that if you want your veggies to be grown in Italy and, at the same time, you want them to only cost 0,10€ per kg, this is how those veggies make it to your plate.

8. Did the employer have a plan what to do with the body? I can’t believe they thought that nobody would notice anything.

9. Un altro successo del governo Meloni.

10. They could literally fine every farm in Italy, because almost everyone there works without a regular contract, while being an illegal immigrant.

    Unfortunately, this makes the news only when something terrible happens.

    Same as everything regarding work in Italy.

11. Barbarians are within UE borders, i dont know why people fear imigration so much if these are our compatriots…

    Plus actually imigrarion is made by those who run these bussiness with a high exploitation rate and at the end of the day much of the inflation is greedflation as supermarkets are driving their proffits margins up as several international institutions have indicated.

12. Right wing and the government are doing all they can to sweep this under the rug: minister Lollobrigida, Meloni’s brother in law, said it’s just a bad apple, nothing to see here. Alle the right wing media are just blatantly ignoring this. Not a word.

13. This is one of the hundreds of work related deaths each year, we have more deaths than the US, also workers usually get paid 5 euros or less, italy is no longer a place for young people to live unfortunately
