As long as there are capitalists around to parasitize off people there will be fascists to protect them from people doing something about it. That’s their one trick… and that’s why it’s still working.
It's a combination of failed education and the social network hype. People here don't recognize manipulative writings from independent news anymore. The social networks additionally stir people up with their dumbed down political shows, populism and lies.
“We all know the reasons but I’m not allowed to say it” is a well known dogwhistle meaning “It’s the immigrants and the evil elites not only ignoring these very real problems but actively trying to replace us all with easier to manipulate stupid foreigners”. And of course they are right with the second part… saying that bullshit out loud will indeed earn them insults and being called right-wing nutjobs.
American commenting from across the pond, but it this looks like an attempt to give rhetorical cover to further immigration restrictions specifically targeted at North Africa, expanding their policies through the cooperation of other EU members.
Italy may need immigrants, but from what I've seen thus far, her government only wants those are who are white and straight.
They never seem to end this sentence with “so we’re spending the money to be able to process all legal applications as fast as possible and creating a new legal immigration pathway for good people fleeing hard circumstances”

Kbin is weird and janky with its federation to lemmy.
That would have been the second step after truthfully reporting that the “illegal immigrantion” topic is just the usual right wing dog whistle for pretending legal immigrants are an issue as well as refugees, that are of course badly checked and just illegal immigrants, too.
One day I hope bigots get harassed as wholly and completely the way they feel inspired to harass others.
Religion has some great lessons and teachings for peace, but that’s never what it actually exports. It’s functionally a veil for atrocities and society needs to stop tolerating it they way it does.
