Reply to comment by MrDoctorJr206 in A tech boss appointed by Italy's prime minister resigned after quoting a speech from fascist dictator Mussolini in an internal email by 777fer

For real. This guy is probably a huge office fan and is pulling a Dwight but it flew 10,000 feet over everyone's heads. Unfortunately quoting Mussolini, even as a joke, isn't a good look in Italy.

He was appointed by the fascist PM who idolizes Mussolini. This isn’t a Dwight reference.

Huh? They literally vote in politicians who openly admire Mussolini, including relatives of…Mussolini. Italians in general are extremely right wing. Try finding an Italian Australian who doesn’t vote LNP, even the working class Italians vote conservative

Australian Italians are Australians. If Italians are so far right how do you explain that this is the first far right PM since WW2 and he won with 8 million votes out of 60?
