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 just wanna know why the fuck they think it's reasonable to compare giving exposure to fascists and giving exposure to the Olympics, as though both are the same thing?

Because apparently that's gonna make her relatable or some shit so that she can shove her fascist ideas down my throat across the great pond or some shit, idk. Somehow going to the Olympics makes her relatable since that's what the average person does like a stroll at the park on a Saturday afternoon. Oh, you didn't know who she was? Now you do, so she will easily implement Marshall law in Italy. That's how these things work in politics. Putin wouldn't have invaded if you had kept yourself ignorant of who he is, you know. Checkmate atheists.

Oh hmm. Yeah maybe. I had read their comment as being against supporting the Olympics even aside from Meloni being there. But maybe not.

Nah, I'm gonna go ahead and not take the unfounded recommendations of someone who thinks it's in any way reasonable to compare Giorgia Meloni to the Olympic Games, and thinks that throwing a bunch of links without explanation is a way to prove their point.
