no they are moving to berlin. i see them here, we have wave after wave of young immigrants. you can talk italian here now, everywhere.
The coast is mostly fine because turism tends to save it, it's the rural interior which is going depopulated fast especially the mountainous areas (which are plentiful in Italy).
Why would people live in places with few services as long as housing is available at decent prices in urban centers which it still is outside of a couple of cities that recently got very expensive?
Dynamic people move to urban centers and that's usually what's happening in most other countries as well
I am definitely getting you a limited edition hardback copy of Das Kapital for Christmas.
You realize most of them come back yes?
According to German statistics 1.2 million people left Germany in 2022, but I can't find anywhere how many of them were German citizens.
The Italian school of algebraic geometry was top notch and the center of the math universe for a bit. Until it almost collapsed mathematics research with a slew of incomplete proofs and flat out incorrect theorems. Algebraic geometry had to practically restart from scratch after WII in France.
fauci...
but what about your best soccer player? that was an indigenous spaniard, from argentinia, diego maradonna. he was the most intelligent on the field outplaying every italian soccer player.
Messi as well.
Both have Italian blood btw
they come back, to work. and they tell us how much italy sucks.
thats what they tell us.
I don't think Luciom is a big Fauci fan.
only one played for italy I meant.
Seems like a pretty f****** stupid book.
I think according to Marxist it was a strategy for liberation. Also, calling something stealing or not is a legal issue upon which other people don't agree. What is and isn't ownable and who owns it is a matter of law and opinion and not a universal truth.
It was stealing at the time of the proposal, so at a minimum Marxism is about disregarding current laws and acting against them by force (which should suffice to close down Marxist organizations )
And I never said anything Marxism or Marxist was particularly good or useful. I just say you're using a stupid term when you say cultural Marxism. If you mean authoritarianism, just say authoritarianism. Are you afraid to offend fascist or something?
This.
There are different types of authoritarianism and you fight them differently depending on which is which.
If I am right about cultural Marxism you don't beat them just looking at the most current manifestation (BLM, trans activism, and so on), but by solving the core problem, IE you go against their institutional power in colleges.
For example a naive look might convince you BLM isn't a threat anymore because defund the police attempts have mostly been reversed.
If instead I get to talk with someone who understood the gravity, the threat BLM posed to society, and I can generalize it as cultural Marxism, then he can be a player in fighting against trans activism as well with the same intensity once he realizes it's the same enemy.
Which is the Rufo playbook
You start with state colleges where you annihilate their core power centers (DEI) and work from there.
You sue in court against institutionalized racism (which is how they build their ranks) in hiring and college admission (aka affirmative action).
Then you can strip private colleges of tax exempt status, reduce/remove federal money grants and so on.
Ofc you work on the student loan side as well, by reducing access so the Marxists have less free money to live on.
And so on and on.
Not so shockingly you're a cop lover. Quit calling yourself a libertarian.
Luciom?
Get a girlfriend (or boyfriend) please.
I'm a big Fulci fan.
Ah, Jordan Peterson...
Anyway apropos of nothing you ever see this flick?

You spend all your waking hours posting extremist nonsense, that's why.
I think it was an Italian who first thought of probability theory.
And of course they taught the French to cook.

and breeding like rabbits
