I downvoted the post and commented only because no one else already pointed out that this is pretty much propaganda. By the time i commented this post it was already in the front page.

You posted this, you should be the first one to shut up the fuck. If you want to do anything at all delete the post and stop give fascists and the olympics any exposure.
Welcome to today's rendition of "this post I don't like is propaganda!!1!"
Good thing this isn't the 1920s, then.
Also, can we talk about dropping Wiki links in a discussion like they mean anything? Especially when 1) people don't point out what's relevant about the article like we have the time or the willpower to read everything and 2) they probably haven't read it themselves before linking.
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.
Keep studying and researching about the world and you will understand why is fine to call these out.

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.
It's 2024. Every post with a politician making a silly face is straight up propaganda. Where do you think they spend millions in propaganda on? Haven't you noticed how every single ad has someone making a stupid face? Exposure is the really first thing that gives these people votes and popularity, if they would be appearing on the media daily people wouldn't even know who the hell they are.
Were you aware that this scum went to see the olympics? You are now because you happen to see their propaganda. You now also know that they went to see the fighting games at the olympics. You should read the wikipedia link posted and not just take a peek at it.
Sometimes a reaction is simply a reaction. You don't have to create this huge conspiracy that people are out to inform you who she is. I already know who she was anyway. Lol Who cares if she went to the Olympics? How does that change my stance on the bullshit she does? She gains nothing from me knowing that. Regardless of this pic, she's gonna show up on the news just like Biden, Trump, Putin, Zelenskyy, Xi, Maduro, AMLO, Kim, Trudeau, Erdogan, etc. They're always on the news because they're heads of state.
Lol. I actually read most of the article you provided. That's how I know you didn't read it yourself.
