  1. One of the ways Italians abused the progressive youths in Boka Kotorska was to force them to drink a glass full of castor oil.

  3. The first fascists in Italy did this to their political enemies. They force them to drink a liter of castor oil and tie them on the hood of a car without pants so they would shit themselves while driving them around town.

  4. Forget the fucking fascists. Who was she and what happened to her?

  5. People here being more concerned for car snd streets than the poor human soul

  6. “Benito Mussolini used to force-feed people castor oil until they literally died of diarrhea… I mean that’s gotta be where the goal posts are right?”

  7. Reminds me of the Jewish Ghettos I visited in Rome. It’s the kinda of brutality that is just plain sadistic .

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Ghetto

    > When Jews went outside the ghetto, the men had to wear a yellow cloth (the “sciamanno”), and the women a yellow veil (the same color worn by prostitutes).[6] During the feasts they had to amuse the Christians, competing in humiliating games. They had to run naked, with a rope around the neck, or with their legs closed into sacks. Sometimes they were also ridden by soldiers.[Note 4]

    >Jews had to petition annually for permission to live there. They paid a yearly tax for the privilege. Jews of Rome were required to swear yearly loyalty to the Pope at the Arch of Titus, which celebrates the Roman sack of Jerusalem of 70 CE. Each year, on the Campidoglio, the Rabbi had to pay homage to the chief of the city councillors (“Caporione”), receiving by him in exchange for it a kick to his bottom. This “ceremony” meant that the Jewish community had been allowed to stay one more year in Rome.[Note 5]

  9. Fascism is a human problem, it knows no national boundary. It enables humans to visit unimaginable suffering on other humans.

  10. My granma told me that during occupation of the Croatian coast, the Italians were known for rapes and looting, while the Germans paid no attention to locals.
    She was 14 and was told to just run away if she sees an italian soldier

  11. In 1936 Italian fascists forced Slovenian conductor Lojze Bratuž to drink a mixture of gasoline and motor oil, which caused his liver and kidneys to fall apart. He died 2 months later.

  12. Italian fascist very brave against woman, not so much against resistant fighters.

  13. A similar thing happened in the early years of dictatorship in Spain. Las Rapadas, they are called. Usually the women were the relatives of executed Republicans. They would shave their heads (sometimes leaving strides of hair painted in Spanish flag colors), forced to drink castor oil (sometimes mixed with benzene), and if they survive the dehydration, they were forced to clean the churches and/or police headquarters

  16. So the brown shirts of fascism started out as a poo stained white one?

  17. Those Roman Catholic Fascists their Adolf and Bishop Stepinac sure were something.,

  18. Fascists huh. And people still going towards that ideology.

  21. The fascist in Spain did this too in the civil war, in my town an old lady told me they did this to people before killing them by firing squad near the cemetery, they put all the people in vans with their hair cut and strolled them around town so that people could see it and this got her traumatized, because there was a van of only women and she thought of her mom.

  23. We have generally had very stable times recently across Europe and a think many have a false sense of security. We have a democratic system, human rights and a strong rule of law because of psychopaths like this that live amongst us. The risks have never gone away, given half a chance we could very easily slip back into a very dark place.

  24. When I see pictures like this I’m reminded that we don’t hate the Italians as much as we should.

  25. Martina was just tellin’ me that in Montenegro I’d be the tallest guy
