yaaaaas the fascist government of Italy the member of NATO is totally going to do something instead of You know what you idiots should be educated on how much of a theatric show this is do you seriously think they're going to do anything? the flotilla might even get kidnapped infront of them if not by them.
No everything has to be serious at all times and we cannot find any positivity in the news despite living in hell world.
The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991.
I wear a dirty ushanka at all times, do not shave, and only take cold sponge baths because hot running water is bourgeoisie decadence.
Every day at exactly noon I have the same meal of an expired Maoist MRE I store in a pit covered in old issues of a revolutionary newspaper.
I sleep in a bed made of flags from every failed revolution so that they are never forgotten.
In the evenings I stare at a picture of vodka by candlelight, but I do not allow myself to drink because there is nothing to celebrate.
Every local org has banned me after I attempted to split it by assassinating the leadership.
There is no plumbing in my house I shit in a brass bucket with a picture of Gonzalo and Deng french kissing in the bottom of it.
My house is actually an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin.
I have a single friend in this world and it is a tapeworm named Bordiga that I met after ingesting spoiled borscht on 9/11 in the ruins of building 7 (I blew it up after finding that a nominally leftist NGO inside of it wasn’t sufficiently anti-imperialist, the attacks on the world trade center were a perfect revolutionary moment for me to enact direct praxis against liberalism).
My [main] source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money.
I have not paid taxes since McGovern lost the Democratic nomination for president and my faith in electoralism died more brutally than my childhood dog after it got into an entire jar of tylenol.
I own 29 fully automatic rusted kalashnikovs and three crates of ammunition entirely incompatible with them or any other firearms I own.
My double PHD in marxist economics and 18th century Swiss philosophy (required to understand Engels) sits over the fireplace of my home, my fireplace is a salvaged drum from a 1950s washing machine that was recalled for locking children inside of it.
I chose that washing machine model on purpose because I am anti-natalist.
During the latest BLM protests I firebombed a Nikes outlet in the middle of a peaceful candlelit vigil.
William F Buckley and I wrote hatemail to one another for 47 years until my final letter gave him an aneurysm. The only water I drink is from puddles.
George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together.
The best way to test whether an electrical wire is live is to drool on it and shrimp salad is racist. You can make an IED out of potassium and the instructions are online thanks to Timothy McVey, who was actually a committed antifascist communist slandered by the deep state as part of operation condor.
Every time a liberal files a restraining order against me, I carve a mark into the wall.
I am running out of walls.
When Amerika finally collapses I will be ready to lead the revolution.
I am very smart and people like being around me.
Are you now an ultra for being wary of a FASCIST NATO STATE. fuck off I'm not going to even argue with this are you genuinely going to continue being tricked? did you celebrate that the "Palestinian state" is recognized by France and UK? the ships that are used to shoot refugee boats, the ones that were used to attack Libya and Yemen are now suddenly doing good? 650 Thousand people murdered in Gaza and you want to me to clap like a monkey to this nothingburger theatric show?
seems like this is a cave in to public pressure not a situation the italian government has well in hand. if NATO countries wanted to 'protect' (kidnap before israel) all their citizens from the flotilla they'd have more of their ships involved and earlier, one frigate that was passing by anyway isn't going to be able to do much, and its presence greatly complicates sinking flotilla vessels before they get close
Yeah and then the Genoa dockworkers are going to shut down Italy. This isn't just theatrics, because the fascists in power are rattled by the massive showing out on the streets. The threat still stands, if anything happens to that flotilla Italy shuts down.
Yeah, the point of the ship is to shut up the protestors congratulations on figuring this one out
You realise folks here are excited because the people forced the Italian government to do something, and that shows they have the power to force them to do something again, right? Nobody thinks the fascists are doing this of anything other than fear of the domestic response. Sure this is just theatrics to placate protests, but then if something else happens to the flotilla with an Italian warship just standing by, you think everybody who was out on the streets Italy is just going to shrug their shoulders?
I am sure the italians who saw RESULTS of their strike will be deinvested when the government actively challenges. Especially if that government has been continuing to fail to improve their lives. They are already organized and in action.
Israel could do another USS Liberty on these Italian war ships and the US will threaten Italy if they tried to do any type of response.
