The person who manages the Lazio eagle (an employee) who makes the fascist salute: horrible.
I hope to see from you too, from England, voices of indignation denouncing this serious behavior

Something that the 21st century has taught me as an American growing up in the 90’s reading very triumphant history of the Free World’s defeat of totalitarianism in the 20th century is that the story was always a bit more complicated than that and I came of age during a time when it was just dormant.Incredible to me that everyone who isn't a young child is totally aware of the history surrounding that salute and what it represents, yet some people can still do it and not feel like they're a worthless, evil piece of shit human being.
Or maybe they do know that and don't care. I hope on some level he knows that he's utter scum.

Italians, at least in my experience, tend to have a much more complicated view of Mussolini and all that than, say, Germans and Hitler.There are no complicated reasons that somebody in 2021 would proudly perform a fascist salute in front of a crowd, other than that person is a piece of shit, deranged or utterly ignorant to what it actually means.

(To be clear fascism is both morally awful and tremendously stupid, all I’m saying is that its bubbling up from the dustbin of history shouldn’t cause some great shock or confusion)
I guess this is what I’m getting at. Education isn’t at fault. People, dissatisfied with modernity, are digging through the bones of the past and some of them are deciding the wrong team won WWII.They shouldn't, and if that is true on a wide scale then education is at fault.

In America that’s exclusively for white supremacist reasons, in Italy there’s some nationalist currents that exist there as well, it’s all extremely noxious stuff, but explaining to people that these were murderous tyrants isn’t going to dissuade a certain element of the population.
So what do you do? Well, Lazio banning this doofus is a good start, though unfortunately for them the club seems to have a latent appeal for that kind of viewpoint.
VitesseWhat game is that?
I see claret & blue, but Sonny didn't score so it's gotta be vs Villa right?
