Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

This user's entire post history is hating artists and actively praising fascism.

Specifically artists, even. Very odd.

There's anti-art hate spewed by the right, it surprised me too but its there. A lot of them usually start their rants with "art isn't political" or "art has no value except monetary" and go from there

That gorilla account got banned btw
