Via Pics on Reddit as "Italian right wing prime minister Giorgia Meloni reacts to two girls kissing at the olympics"

Post was originally titled "Lesbian Kiss at the Olympics / Far Right Italian Prime Minister Reaction" but the pictures are unlikely to have been taken at the same event.

I know that Alice Weidel, co-chairwoman of the german right-wing extremist party AfD is openly gay and in a relationship with a woman from Sri Lanka. Fun fact: while she actively tries to abolish same-sex marriage in Germany, her partner advocated for the introduction of same-sex marriage in switzerland.

ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ what the fuck...?

Welcome to German politics. You thought the orange boi was weird...

Maximilian Krah, the now more or less disgraced frontrunner for the EU elections has 7 kids from like 4 different women. The AfD still explicitly claims to be in favour of traditional families

[–] grue@lemmy.world 58 points 3 months ago

What's the contradiction? Clearly, he likes traditional families so much he started four of them! \s

Former prime minister now disgraced former MP Boris Johnson thinks them be rookie numbers. If you know how many kids you have you're doing it wrong.

Hey he was a good human shield in Ukraine.

A traditional family is when a woman has 7 kids by the same man, duh. More than one, she’s a sluuuuuut.

Now, men. That’s a different story. All they gotta do is warsh thurr wiener and bam, purity.

I am getting "Warsh yerr weiner" on a hat and refusing to answer questions.

Sounds like Trump! Similarly, a majority of his wives weren’t American.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I like my women like I like my Hitlers. Speaking a language I don’t understand. :p

What's surprising? It's 2024 and you still haven't understand that politicians are a bunch of corrupted criminals who's job is to lie?

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Its just a new and different kind of lying and being shitty than I'm used to πŸ˜…

What kind of cognitive dissonance is going on here? FFS she probably flogs herself every night too.

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Just doing it for the power I guess

[–] Resonosity@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

*cognitive dissonance, but I totally agree. How does the far right insulate themselves in such non-realities

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Thanks for the correction. I'm pretty sure my phone did that though.

Nigel Farange is anti immigrant and is married to an inmigrant.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

So... Like Trump then.

I don't understand how conservative people keep falling for this stuff

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Hint: it's the ignorance / under-education.

[–] Blubber28@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months ago

Our own far right leader Geert Wilders, who wants to exit the EU and limit immigration from islamic countries and central/eastern Europe, is married to a woman from Hungary.

Whenever a rightwing politician is yelling something is bad, chances are they are complicit of it themselves.

[–] Hirom@beehaw.org 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

She deserves love like everyone. But she doesn't deserve to be elected.

Switzerland doesn't have same sex marriage? I'm surprised.

[–] FreeFacts@sopuli.xyz 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Women were not allowed to vote in some parts of Switzerland before 1990.

I really fell victim to my northern Europe is so far ahead socially bias there. Didn't know the facts. Thanks.

It's not Northern Europe either.

The first modern country to legalize same-sex marriage was the Netherlands, in 2001. The most recent was Greece in 2024.

I think the reality of it being a complete non-issue makes it easy to forget that it is a relatively recent change in public opinion and that it still isn't legal in most of the world.
