i wish we had some masterpost about fascist italy not being a joke. from ww2 paper-tiger and the reapproachment of the west toward fascism after the war we tend to forget that besides being The First fascist nation, the fascisti murderered and ruined the lives of tens of thousands of people
and yeah mussolini was a blow hard dork but all i can think of when i see that face are real people. trade unionists, communists, feminists, etc. getting liters of castor oil forced down their throats; ethiopians, libyans, spanish, albanians, slavs and greeks getting murdered and thrown in shallow mass graves
and the TRAINS DID NOT RUN ON TIME
One train did once, so that's basically correct
The fascists in Italy would grab a target, beat them, and force them to drink large quantities of castor oil to humiliate and sometimes kill their victims by inducing diarrhea
Not far off from what
think is ideal child-raising conditions, then.
@[email protected] this seems up your alley.
A masterpost on the Italian Fascists’ atrocities? It may take me a few days, but I’ll give it a shot.
Please do share it to our (hexbear) history comm as well should you publish anything on the subject, or anything else for that matter.
