Italy investigates Placebo singer for calling far-right PM ‘racist’ and ‘fascist’
Brian Molko criticised Giorgia Meloni during a concert at the Sonic Park festival
Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

Didn't the world fight a world war to stop this kind of government from taking full control over a people?
Nah, Italy's fascists were never really purged, because the occupying Americans preferred them to the Communist partisans
I'm not saying that Americans didn't play their dirty tricks as usual, but it was Italian voters that elected Meloni, not the US..
@iByteABit @Damage forest for the trees…
Never laid the blame for that on anybody else
WW2 was started by the Nazis, so it was really them fighting for something. The rest of the world just defended itself
It's a lot more problematic when the Nazis call from inside the house.
Ethiopians would disagree
Nah, just the one. And it was because he was killing hordes of people, not controlling them.
Um Mussolini's Fascist Italy was very much in the war
But Franco got a pass. Probably because he didn't invade his neighbors and committed his atrocities at home like a good little fascist.
