So one could say he really is a man of Italian culture
Oh, OK, because Wikipedia is such a reliable source.
Guys, would you be surprised if i told you that he also loves Putin?
Italy has private culture with private money funding. The whole culture ministery is a scam. Making up government jobs that do not need to exist.
European left-wing governments will always appoint their most radical, most left-wing politicians as culture ministers, because ever since 1968, these people always understood that politics is downstream from culture.
So don’t pretend you’re surprised or even outraged, when one of maybe 4 last (and very moderately) conservative governments of Europe (Italy, Hungary, Sweden and the Netherlands), do the same.
what makes it even funnier is that it’s forbidden to express yourself in favor of nazism and fascism but most of the government members are into it and the law has never been enforced once as far as I remember.
We had groups of dozens of people making the nazi salute in different city squares, as small groups and as big groups, and the most I heard was “We’ll investigate”. Needless to say, no one ever talked about it anymore.
Ignazio Benito Larussa is one of the most fascist men living in Italy and he’s president of the Senato. He has all kinds of souvenirs from the fascist era in his house. He did the salute multiple times, he’s protected extremists from the far-right movements every time something bad happened, and his parents even gave him Mussolini’s name as a middle name.
But yes, Mr. Giuli in the same sentence with ‘culture’ makes me laugh with a little drop under my eye
Our far right extremist leader Kickl (Austria) has aswell studied Philosophy for multiple years without obtaining a degree. I have a feeling this is a common thing among those people 🙂
Europe is turning right and you know exactly why. It’s inevitable
At this point it’s basically a requirement to be minister not to be graduated and/or to participate in far right movements
Don’t get it wrong, and also I know almost nothing about Italy but checked the article and it refers to a news source that proves nothing about him. [Article tells about his background, did blah blah and more, his grandfather was Mussolini supporter etc.](https://www.ilpost.it/2024/09/06/alessandro-giuli-ministro-della-cultura-sangiuliano/) but no evidence is present at all.
I don’t know whether he’s nazi or not, but “cancelling” people shouldn’t be that easy. I’m a Wikipedia editor myself and references for non-English topics don’t undergo fact checks in most cases.
For the second paragraph, “he developed a passion for pre-Christian paganism” is definitely against Wikipedia policies. Are you a mind reader? How would you know his thought? If researching fascist culture makes you a nazi, the vast majority of WW2 historians would be nazis.
The best appointment would have been nobody, because the idea of a ministry of culture is idiotic and a waste of taxpayers money, it needs to be scrapped _yesterday_.
Pls free us new generations from this politicians chosen by boomers. We have tons of old ppl, boomers and retired ones that vote only with zero research into the programs of the different parties. Said that, populist right wing and fascists are loved by uneducated and old ppl.
That’s also the reason why every year more of 70k young people prefer leaving Italy after achieving some major degree. My nation has no future, no aspirations and no hope of improvement.
I’m not even angry, I’m just sad now.
Far right are being elected all over Europe and other places. People have forgotten history it seems.
The sad/surprising/scary/… thing about this is that most of their growing voter base is among millennials and gen-z. Boomers and Gen-X-ers though you knew better than us.
W Italy
I fucking hate my country
Meloni is doing a relatively good job in her governing mandate. Way less radical or Eurosceptic than most of the right parties across the EU, so she’s probably acknowledging this choice
I’m shocked that the neo-fascist government picked a neo-fascist guy…
40% of Italians are fascist
40% are communist
20% are miscellaneous
Surprising? No. Maddening? No. Just sad that my country is going that way again. I’m glad I left.
Italy is a meme
And ppl still chose him. That says a lot about the left party tho. The majority aint gonna wake up one day and go “damn bro, Hitler in power rn would be fire”, but if they see the current leftist government aint working at all they’re gonna chose the other side, and if the leftists are extreme about their opinions ppl are gonna become more extreme. The majority of ppl aint a bunch of nazis bro
Well they got elected so…
I mean Wikipedia has been known to be a far left extremist space for some time now
– Ancient Rome was mostly pre-Christian (aka Pagan) so that shouldnt shock anybody.
– Germans were (some still are 😉 ) obsessed with original Germanic Gods, Ocultistic rituals, pararell worlds, Old Gods believes etc. – so was Hitler and Germans at that time did quite a thorough research and collected a lot of materials (probably moved to USA and russia during the “PaperClip Operation”) – so if someone is studying paganism … well – needs to touch nazis sooner or later.
Welcome back Himmler
they should have appointed a man of culture
To be honest, at least he’s honest. Any other person they could have appointed would still have been a fascist, a liar fascist.
These positions dont actually hold any real power, they’re just seats to fill with yesmen that sign your papers.
He’s not the problem, the electoral system and the electors in general are.
I find it funny that this shit gets more and more accepted. Liberal media worked really hard in the past 10 years to normalize the “far-right” politicians.
Disgrace
There will probably be plenty of lovely Italians in this comment section who will take the time to explain to you that something like this does not matter nowadays. It’s not 1943 anymore after all, the world has progressed.
Got to love Wikipedia. The highest quality source you’ll find.
An uncultured swine. How fitting.
This is fucking insane and worrying. If more of these assholes get to power we will have more wars in Europe in the next 20 years. Again bloodshed for “historical rights” and “territories”. But in the end, fascists always lose. Always.
