Our PIGS brothers ❤️❤️❤️

At least they are legally employing people, in other countries in Southern Europe people work an illegal amount of time but as long as the official contract declares a lower amount of hours it’s fine (neither retirements funds nor taxes nor insurance are paid for the extra time, obviously).

This is Italy: racial discrimination, labor exploitation, inexistent law enforcement.

It’s similar to what you describe for Eastern Europe (idealization of more developed countries, inferiority complex, distrust for local politicians considered fraudulent and liars). But there is a very strong populist propaganda claiming that the “nordics” are willing to destroy our motherland by imposing regulations which disfavour local firms. This is growing stronger and stronger, even considering the latest elections, so this is why mainstream narratives are not so convincing imho here.

True, the amount of trust people put on these leaders is appalling, at least in northern and western Europe.

Considering there are large parts of the continent (south and east) where we are more than accustomed to wild corruption in politicians and policemen, though, mainstream narrative will have a harder time being believed so blindly.

Unpopular opinion: losing the current war (alas) is the only hope for Europeans to have this political class overturned. As we have seen, voting in the EU elections has been pretty useless.

Here in Italy, unlike in Germany, criminals from the regime were never prosecuted nor underwent trial and condemnation (unlike, say, Nuremberg trials). Because this would have made left parties stronger and, in the 50s this means the Communist party, which the Americans didn’t want at all. Here is the result, well done allies! History repeats itself so that people can learn unlearned lessons better, like not passing an exam.

If you prefer an open source app, native, complete, with a decent UI and an active developer community, the official one is definitely the best. And I mean Jerboa, because it is the official client made by the very same people that are making Lemmy (so always compatible and up-to-date with the server development).

Otherwise, if you don’t mind using a closed source app, Summit is the most feature rich one and it is maintained by a professional industry-level native Android developer who really knows what he’s doing.

Finally, if you want to experiment with a cross platform app, open source and well maintained, with a really nice user interface, have a try with Thunder.

The far right has been ruling my country for 2 years now. Their campaigns have been specifically targeting Muslim migrants (even foreign workers, because they can marry locals, become citizens and generate offspring and other bullsh1t)… but looking at the facts and not the propaganda, this government has quietly more than doubled the number or yearly visas released for work reasons, just to say “look we cut irregular migration to a minimum”.

Maybe try to seduce policemen being better at sexting?

Alcuni cittadini sono più uguali degli altri, come sempre…

Ce lo chiede l’Europa… Penso sempre che, fortunatamente, non ho nulla da nascondere. Spero però che sia valido per tutti i cittadini, compresi i membri del parlamento e della commissione europea.

Grazie e crepi il lupo!

Me not having any chat because I don’t have any friend

ona li tomo tawa, a!

I agree in that Summit is the most feature complete and polished Lemmy client for Android.

As a European I can reassure you: younger generations aren’t considered by politics (and in turn young people don’t consider politics at all and don’t even go to vote, abstentionsism is skyrocketing). The headline is a little exaggerated.

All Android developers rn:

A rischio di dire qualcosa di controverso, non posso fare a meno di notare un parallelismo su quanto avvenuto negli anni '90 del secolo scorso nella nostra scena nazionale.

Allo stesso modo in cui Forza Italia, attraverso l’alleanza con Alleanza Nazionale, ha di fatto normalizzato e portato all’accettazione di politici appartenenti all’area reazionaria della destra più estrema, ora il PPE, per puro opportunismo politico, ha deciso di allearsi con i partiti più radicali.

Sì tratta, però, di una valutazione miope proprio perché inserita in un contesto internazionale in cui i partiti di estrema destra sono euroscettici e non faciliteranno né politiche comuni né l’integrazione europea stessa. Di fatto è un processo di autodistruzione.

Yes I agree with you, of course, in theory it should work like this. But all around me I see things going so terribly wrong, so I assume practice must be somewhat different from the theory.

E.g. in my country far-right politicians have been democratically elected and they are dismantling the nation and changing the constitution, all legally.

Edit: Nobody is giving a f-ck neither internally nor externally (e.g. OTAN or EU) so I assume they are fine with it too.
