  1. I am European and I really do not understand the American idea of "free speech". Hate speech is NOT free speech in Europe.

  2. Why did South Koreans manage to stop their coup attempt immediately, while American politicians just let it happen?? There have been fights in the Italian parliament for much less than this.

  3. I am so worried about American women, the LGBT+ comunity, POC, and any minority living in the USA rn. In Italy rn we are overwhelmed by requests by American citizens (mostly Italian-American) asking citizenship, student visas, political asylum, workers visas, ANYTHING to escape T. 😞 A lot of them are the decendents of poor Italians leaving for the USA many generations ago in search of a better life (and/or escaping fascism). And now the opposite is happening. I never in my life thought this could happen. The difference is that most of the people that want to move here are very educated and usually wealthy. I hope Italy/Europe and our other allies can welcome them. I am very sad about the ones who are not able to leave. ❤

  5. @B_Bodziak  thanks, that makes more sense. Well, since they fired the people who were studying the bird flu, and they put tariffs on Mexico (were alot of your veggies and fruit come from, right?), food will probably become ever more expensive over there. How is Trump going to spin that?

  6. I knew that sooner or later the fact that American women take their husband's name after marriage would become a big problem. Women in my country (Italy) keep their own name after marriage. The very few who still marry, I must add, because fortunately marriage is on its way out here in Italy and other European countries. Marriage between a man and a woman is NEVER in favor of the woman. I hope American women will learn this lesson now.

  7. I am not American and I do not eat eggs. Are eggs THAT important for Americans? All this worrying about eggs in the USA is wild to me 😂 almost as wild as the bathroom issue. Or do you use "eggs" to mean food in general?

  8. My grandparents in Italy ended it in Piazzale Loreto.

  9. @damenwhelan3236  yeah we call it "freedom of expression" here. But if you express hate, violence or lies you can be sued.

  10. I am Italian. I hope the EU will do something to prevent us to end up like the USA, but neither Italy nor Germany are safe rn. Meloni hasn't been able to do more extreme stuff (like deportations) because she has been stopped by the courts, the EU, regional governors from opposition parties, even by more moderate members of her own coalition. It's true the AfD is not in the government coalition in Germany (yet?), but they are much more extreme than Fratelli d'Italia. Or even Le Pen. And they have support from Musk. Things can easily go very wrong over here too 😞 Meloni has a project to change the Italian Constitution, because our antifa Constitution was written to avoid concentration of power and another dictatorship. So her goals are clear.

  11. Yeah, it's creepy.
    12
  12. @brano13177  wow, respect to your uncle and other family members! One of my grandfathers was taken as POW to a camp in Poland for refusing to fight along side the Germans after they occupied Northern Italy. He lost a finger and part of his stomach, but came back home and lived past 80 years old. Thousands of Italians chose to go to POW camps rather than help the Nazis. My other grandfather was a partisan.

  19. Yes, us Europeans will take a long time to forgive Americans.

  20. ​ @keithbaker7097 yeah, for example in American highschools there are no philosophy classes. In most of Europe, philosophy is a mandatory class. Philosophy teaches critical thinking. Obviously the American government doesn't want a nation of critical thinkers.

  21. @R_SENAL  yeah I guess. I am vegan, so my baked goods do not have eggs. I forget most people are not vegan.

  22. But European fascist men are NOT stupid 😂 They put women in CHARGE (Meloni, Le Pen, etc). Still fascist, still racist. Just not women haters.

  23. @jeffreyhanc1711  I am Italian, and my grandparents lived through Mussolini's regime. Our Constitution was written after WWII. So, yeah, we remember. I dont understand, what problem do they have with democracy?? How can someone rationally think they would be better off in a dictatorship? Did they not study history? They never end well 😞

  24. I am European, not American. My dad wrote a thesis on Robespierre to graduate from highschool 😊 Both my sister and I are democratic socialists. Thank you dad for giving us a good political education!!

  25. Many Europeans on the Left hope this is an opportunity for us too. Neoliberalism, globalization and liberal democracy are failing over here too. It will take longer than in the USA because our political systems are different. No one can move as fast as Trump in Europe.

  26. @fedethegreat88  thank you. Yes I know it's a joke now, I was just curious why eggs and not, for example, burgers. The USA is called the "culture of hamburgers" over here 😂

  28.  @a5cent  every single European country has its own rules for giving citizenship. In Italy, until now, it was basically like this: if you coult prove you have Italian ancestors, no matter how far in the past, you could get Italian citizenship. That is called "ius sanguinis". On the other hand, if you are born in Italy but your parents are from another country, you are not "Italian". That's "ius soli", the American way. Rn they are changing the law. Ius sanguinis will only work if your parents and/ or grandparents are Italian, not a relative from 1,800. Then there is a third way: ius scholae, which means you get citizenship after graduating from an Italian highschool. There are a alot more rules, too many to mention here. The problem is that many people want an Italian passport, because it is one of the most "powerful" in the world, but they do not study, work, or even live in Italy. So they don't pay taxes. We don't think that is fair. And of course we prefer highly educated immigrants (we need doctors, for example), and people with money (some types of visas require the immigrant to invest in our country). There is just alot of confusion atm 😂

  29.  @angelmossucco  I am sorry, but would absolutely need to speak Italian. Italy is not Germany or Scandinavia, where most people speak English (and very well too). Unless you want to work in an American military base, or are a digital nomad, or stuff like that. I graduated from a "foreign languages and literatures" highschool. Most of our classes in our three last years of school (Italian highschools usually last 5 years) were dedicated to the study of French, English, and German languages, literatures and cultures. We had two teachers for every language: an Italian one and a French, British/American, and German one. The foreign ones all spoke Italian too. I graduated in 1994, so things might be different now. But to get Italian citizenship you need to pass an Italian language test called "B1". It's a very simple test. You need to pass the same test even if you apply to citizenship after marrying an Italian person or apply for a resident permit. It's a very long and slow process in all cases. Sorry my reply was so long, it is confusing for me too, and laws change all the time.

  30. Mussolini lasted 20 years. Franco (in Spain) even longer. These types do not leave, unless you unlive them (like the former) or they die of old age. But even if the Dumpster dies of old age, you have to deal with Vance.

  40. ​ @spxram4793 I fear Italy will be next 😞 Orban has supporters in the Italian Right. They havent tried yet because they need to change the Constitution to do that, which is Meloni's plan. I hope they fail, but it depends on the Left parties, the courts, the media etc being competent or not.

  44.  @LoreTheDarkElf  I went to the USA as an exchange student in 1992-93. The disrespect American students had for teachers was shocking to me. I have heard many American parents saying Italian children are not "wild" like American children. I guess it's because here in Italy how your children behave reflects on you (parent), so if your child behaves like a wild animal, people will judge the parents. Us Italians are very judgy on manners, looks, etiquette etc. That's why you will never see Italian people going to stores in pjs or wet hair either. You can say we are "superficial", but that's just how we are raised here. I am childfree btw.

  51. @ellielynx3071  yeah it depends on diet choices too. In Italy fruits, vegetables, pasta, beans etc are much cheaper than in the USA, even organic food. Most of our traditional dishes do not require eggs. Vegetarians/ vegans can get their proteins from beans and soy. Most vegan food is fortified with vitamins and proteins. We do not need eggs. We also do not eat as much as Americans.

  52.  @WhenDevilsDuel  bot? 😂 why would you think I am a bot??

  53.  @ashbear88  we have so many protests and strikes in Italy at the moment. It would take hours to call for a protest in Rome if there was an emergency. We have plenty of leaders in the opposition parties, in trade unions, in universities etc. Even journalists call for protests. I can't believe there is not a single person in the USA rn who can take the leadership and ask Americans to march on Washington. If you guys get out of this in 4 years, both parties will be finished. I don't think anyone will vote for either after this.

  56. Americans have been brainwashed by anti-socialist propaganda for more than a century. They never came close to a socialist revolution like many European countries. Also, after WWII countries in Europe were close to the Soviet Union (geographically and throu the Cominform and such). Western European countries thought that if they didn't give their people healthcare, education, housing, workers rights etc, they would have had a civil war (like in Spain). The Italian Resistance (parts of) was ready to start a Soviet-style revolution after kicking out the Germans and defeating the Italian fascists. They hid their weapons and were ready to rise up. I think they finally gave up in the 70s, after Aldo Moro's death. The government knew this, so they avoided more bloodshed by giving workers more rights/benefits/ welfare. The USA were never in that position. And the American government did suppress movements like the Black Panthers and killed leaders with socialist ideas (especially black leaders). They did so in Europe too (see Gladio).

  62. @DisposableSupervillainHenchman  no it's not. We all know what hate speech is in Europe and what free speech is. Do you remember the silence after JD Vance's speech in Munich? It was because we all agree in Europe that our idea of free speech is different than Americans' idea. There is no confusion for us. If you have nothing nice to say, keep your mouth shut. Of course we are free to criticize anyone, but not to insult, lie, or promote violence. Especially not towards minorities or the most vulnerable people. Insulting the government is okay, because they are more powerful than us. Insulting the disabled, children, trans people etc is NOT okay, because they are the most vulnerable people in society.

  90. @zemorph42  I spent a year in the USA as an exchange student, and several months years later too. I never ate an American breakfast with eggs. In Italy breakfast is usually coffee and cookies, or coffee and a croissant. Eggs for breakfast is very strange to us. Actually, most food in the USA is strange to us. Btw, how much are eggs now? Did they get more expensive with Trump?
    1
  91. @sewmuchdufus  usually it's bread. Bread is the staple in all diets across the world. Milk is not a staple in Mediterranean diets for example. Vegetarian milks like soya, almonds etc are popular choices in Italy. Many people here are intollerant to milk. In Japan/Asia too I believe. I lived in the USA for almost 2 years. Americans drink milk like its water. Italians mainly use it for cappuccino in the morning. We are more concerned with the price of bread, pasta, vegetables etc. Americans with the price of eggs, milk, meat etc. Different diets.
    1
  92. @sewmuchdufus  oh I know. Just saying, maybe it's time for Americans to switch to a better diet. I gained 10 kilos after a year I spent in the USA as an exchange student. I lost those 10 kilos in a few months after going back to Italy. American food is poison.

Still, the opposition parties are doing their job, unlike American Democrats. And our trade unions, media, civil society, courts etc. The courts for example have refused to carry out the deportation of immigrants like she wanted. We are lucky we are in the EU because the EU protects us if things get out of hand. The far-right was stopped from getting into power in France and Germany. For now, our checks and balances are working. Good luck!

    1
  111. @jennybrown5302  btw, I also spent months in Orlando, Florida, decades later, because I had an American boyfriend for a while. Florida was so bad that I broke up with my then bf right after he proposed to me (btw, in Italy we don't get married anymore really, and the few who do, do so after YEARS of living together. Only creeps propose after a few months. I really dodged a bullet then. I feel sick immagining me married to an American and living in the dystopian hell they call Florida. And mind you, my ex was from a very wealthy family. His apartment was in a gated community, basically a prison for wealthy people living in fear). I took the first flight back to Europe, and never went back to the USA. It was impossible for me to have a conversation with an American. Even wealthy Americans with a "good" education (or should I say ESPECIALLY wealthy educated Americans) are clueless about politics (domestic and world politics), society, history, geography, literature, foreign languages and cultures, arts, the environment, animal rights, feminism etc. Conversations and relationships are very shallow over there. Life in America is shaped by money and consumerism. My ex was all about spending money and showing off his family's wealth. He was very insecure. His mother was obviously under her husband's thumb. She had no life, friends, interests of her own, like my mother does. Most married American women take their husbands name after marriage, which is a symbol of old-school patriarchy. Women in Italy and most of Europe keep their own name after marriage. Another reason I broke up with my ex was because I found out he wanted to marry an Italian woman specifically. To him having an Italian wife was a "status symbol" (especially a model like myself), a "trophy", a "fetish". I was horrified. I understand why American women are not happy with American men. He wanted to trap me in Florida with marriage. After a couple of months he started to say he wanted children, even if he knew from the start I was very much against it. Creep. Fortunately I have extremely high self-esteem, a radar for bs/ red flags, excellent oratory skills and I was alot smarter than him. I got a free vacation in the USA out of this mess, and proof that ALOT of men (especially American men) are out to trap women in unhappy marriages that only benefit males. If they can, they will also baby-trap you. Btw, this guy lied to me about himself and his life ALOT. If I didn't live with him for months, I would never known his real face. I feel sorry for American women who get married so young, so fast, and without living together with their partners for a few years before committing to marriage. That doesnt really happen anymore in Europe. European women are not naive, and they expect equality with their partners. We know life is not a Hollywood movie.

  112. @jennybrown5302  btw, don't Americans have buses? In Italy when we organize a protest in Rome or any other city, we rent buses from all major cities to the place of the protest. We go there in groups. Sometimes we go together by train. Often there are events like a G7 meeting or stuff like that, and protesters from all over Europe meet in a European city. Like the 2001 HUGE protests in Genoa. In recent years, protesters from all over Europe gathered in Hungary to oppose the fascist regime. Distance is not an excuse when democracy, equality, human rights etc are at risk, like in Trump's America.

  113. @jennybrown5302  The fact that most citizens in the richest country on the planet live paycheck to paycheck is horrific and that makes it even more important to protest, strike, boycott, engage in acts of civil disobediance etc. "Be reasonable, demand the impossible" is one of my favorite slogans from 1968 France. All the rights we have in Europe, we fought for them in bloody revolts (literally, with hundreds of deaths). The ruling class did not give us Europeans anything for free. Everything from workers rights to civil rights to welfare, we paid a big price for them. And we are not going to stop, ever, because we have seen how fast they can take away rights we took for granted. One example: the EU is one of the most gender equal area in the world. Our goal is perfect equity between men and women, and we are not stopping until perfect equity is the norm. In everything, from politics to number of CEOs in private companies, to equal share of domestic work and raising children, etc. We will not accept anything less. On the other end, American women rn risk to even lose the right TO VOTE!! That's insane. The number of American single mothers and teen pregnancies is insane too. If the number is so high, it means society thinks these two things are acceptable. In Europe they are not. Like American society thinks having guns is perfectly normal, even though they cause hundreds of deaths, especially of children, every day. Or having religion (actually, one specific type of religion) involved in politics so much.

  117. Don't forget tariffs of 25% to the EU. European markets are crashing too. Guess which market is doing great? Moskow's. Do Americans need any more proofs??

  118. There are many Europeans, like me, who would be happy if NATO was disbanded. Europe needs to be able to defend itself without "help" from the USA, because "help" from the USA means the USA treat European countries like colonies/ vassal States. Us Europeans need to be indipendent from the USA. We have different interests, values, etc. My country (Italy), for example, has no interest in a war with Russia. Italy and Russia love each others. We have not only economic interests in being partners, but there is a deep respect/love between the Italian people and the Russian people. It goes across the political spectrum too. From ex communists to the far right. We also have interests in MENA countries, and in fact Italian governments up until the late 80s were quite pro-Arab (and pro-Palestine). So, NATO is not doing us any favour.

  121. Dear Americans, when are you going to do something about this?? Canadians, Australians, even Romanians did the right thing at elections time. Just today your president threatened us Europeans with 50% tariffs. His regime wants to destroy the EU. We have empathy for the Americans who did not vote for this, but if you let these monsters continue to ruin everything, the world will run out of empathy and you are going to become the next North Korea.

  122. Die Linke, right? It's similar to our AVS party in Italy (they got about 7% last year). The problem with the Left in Europe is that they are too fragmented. Even in Germany with Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht and Die Linke.

  123.  @angelmossucco  to begin the process, you need to go to the Ministry of Home Affairs' website or your local (where you wa t to reside) Prefecture. They will tell you what you need to do. Good luck!

  124. Stop obsessing about peoples "fertility". My country, Italy, has some of the healthiest diets in the world (which contributes to our long life expectancy and general health even in old age) AND one of the lowest birthrates/ fertility rates. Smart women do not WANT children. This is a scientific proven FACT. Why would intelligent people have children in todays world? They are just going to suffer. Our planet is dying. The human population is still growing. We need LESS people, not MORE.

  125. Also, Japan is just like Italy. Healthy food, high life expectancy, low birthrates. Sub-Sahara Africa: bad/ little food, low life expectancy, high birthrates. Very easy to understand. Also, a good diet is essential to develop children's brains/ intelligence.

  126. I have been saying this for years. Forcing women to have children will always end badly. I am sorry this happened to you. I am antinatalist and I think forcing women to have children against their will is one of the biggest crimes ever. I am glad my country (Italy) has one of the lowest birthrates in the world and never fell for the pro-natalist propaganda our right-wing politicians have been promoting for decades. Why would anyone breed in a dying planet is beyond me.

  127. Trump and his supporters are stupid. Here in Europe a lot of far-right leaders ARE women. See Meloni, Le Pen, etc. Still racist and fascist, just not womens haters. The USA did not learn anything from their best ally in the Middle East?? They even have racist, fascist soldiers waving rainbow flags. Pink washing worked very well for them. In Germany, AfD leader is a gay woman. It worked for them too. I mean, none of Trump's "advisors" thought about that?? 😂 I do not even have a political sciences degree and I could have told him that. I can't wait for this to be over.
