    Why is US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement even going to provide security for a sports event in another country, anyway? It seems bizarrely out of scope.

      Honestly, it’s a rare chance for us Europeans to organise a huge protest against ICE. Now I’m kinda dreaming this happens.

    I don’t understand why they would go in the first place. They are homeland security. That’s not our home land wtf

    I mean Italy has always viewed the SS in positive light, so makes sense they view ICE the same way

      That seems like quite a generalization to make. Care to elaborate?

        Italy and Germany were allies during world war two. The word fascism was coined by Mussolini, an Italian. So making a joke referencing something based on history. And right now their stance is if not similar its rhyming.

          Would you make the same joke about all germans always, based on their history and the recent resurgence of the far-right?

          I’ll remind you that it was italian partisans who killed Mussolini and italians were the ones to beat the body up and hung it up on that square.

            Brother. The current prime minister of Italy thinks Mussolini was a good politician. Italy is run by neo-fascists.

              Sure, but to say thay Italy [as a whole] has always been like that discounts the efforts of a lot people, including former governments.

              Sorry if I’m nitpicking. I just want to stay conscious of the fact that the forces opposing fascism never went away, and that as history repeats itself, the good parts can also be repeated.

        And einsatzgruppen were the extermination specialists of the SS. Considering the summary executions they’ve started to get enthusiastic about… well, you connect the dots/

          You think that gaggle of uppity morons are execution specialists and not a mob of political police?
