  • perhaps the greatest achievement (?) of trump and his cronies is making “they live” an obsolete movie. they’re saying in people’s faces now everything every past 'murican government (and their pervasive elites) tried to embelish and coat in self-righteousness. for anyone who lived outside the country, especially those outside global north, this is some sort of twisted vindication.

    • pensioners back in the 90s: you shouldn’t trust everything you see on the internet, no one knows who came up with that;
    • pensioners in the 2010s: of course the communists are gonna force the children to use penis-shaped peacifiers! this random person who added me on a random whatsapp group wouldn’t lie to me!



  • politically speaking i think that makes no sense. i mean, you’re leaving because of the far right in power in the u.s., but then again italy is being governed by the far right. leaving your country, and therefore much of what you know, your support network, for political reasons only makes sense if there’s a well funded fear for your life because of your political activities. in that case i (as a communist) would probably go to a country with bland politics (where the far right would have no risk of reaching power for at least 10 years or so), or a straight up communist country, even if not of the same persuation.

    there are other things that might make italy more attractive, such as having public healthcare, decent education, some social security coverage (subpar as compared to much of the rest of western europe, i think), cheap groceries. however, on the other side, housing and utilities are expensive. it will be better if you have a degree or some sort of qualification in high demand, it will be easier for you to get a job. however, when you’re an immigrant, locals will probably give preference to other locals, at least because it will be easier to communicate with.
