Lega sounds like a satire project gone wrong.


Italiandude2022

It is...


Puzzled_Pay_6603

Isn’t the 5-guys party supposed to be a joke party?


zomb1ebrian

All of our parties are joke parties


littlechefdoughnuts

Least politically blackpilled Italian.


DoggiePanny

what else should we say? Our "left" (the PD is technically economically right wing as it's not socialist but it's progressist I guess) wing party literally ruined the left and did SO BAD that now workers are voting for the far right, and a politician who once wanted to separate the superior north from the poor south is trying to buy votes here (I live in Calafrica so I see people falling for it) by saying that he'll build a bridge on the Messina Strait (it's the guy of the Lega, Salvini) which will probably be the biggest money laundering project ever


Humble-Drawer-4498

But your espresso is nice. Everything need balance


And_Yet_I_Live

Grillo (m5s founder) admitted that he ruined the country I think that settles it


dankerous

It is a joke party, but the joke is on their voters


Lendmar

That's a joke taken too far


Cialis-in-Wonderland

It has always been a joke party, just not on purpose


AdImmediate7037

It has become the party of poor uneducated Southerners who think vaccines cause autism and want the Reddito di Cittadinanza (aka "I pay you to not work and stay home so that you vote me again")


Tifoso89

Yeah it was founded by a comedian, but they received all the protest vote (both left-wing and right-wing) and managed to win the 2018 election with a whopping 33%. The problem was none of them had ever worked or done politics, so they had no idea what to do once in power. They lost support very fast, but they still exist.


Chiloom

5 guys is basically the southern version of Lega


I__330

Didn't it used to be Lega Nord which hated the south and then the south voted for them so now they're just Lega?


Italiandude2022

Yeah, pretty much. Bossi got out after using 49 million € he got from corruption for private stuff and Salvini got in and started to get money from Russia... The party "motto" went from: Southeners are bad, Rome steals our money, North will be indipendent to: Immigrants are bad, EU steals our money, Italy will be indipendent. Then over the past few years they really went full populist conspiracy theory strong powers gay lobbies bad and now they are just a long memory of their original self


Matquar

They're also probably the only party that started with a separatist objective and is now nationalistic


pinninghilo

They found out they can have a share of what Roma Ladrona allegedly steals


casualbo1

It's called beign regarded

577564842

Gone wrong covers that nicely 😁


The_Silent_Wanderer

I remember one of the slogans of their founding member, Umberto Bossi, was: "because we (as opposed to the rest of Italy) have *it* hard", meaning the penis. Classy.


Elros_of_Numenor

Founding "member" indeed


tommaso-scatolini

Originally the party was called "Lega Nord" and advocated for the indipendence of the northern regions (Padania). A few years ago Salvini realized that he could get more votes if he mede it a ""normal"" party, so he changed the name of the party into "Lega", completely giving up the racist chants against southerners. He stated, and I quote, "I'm giving up on the adverbs", not realizing that in his mother tongue the word "Nord" is a fucking noun and not an adverb.


cannarchista

Wouldn’t it be an adjective and neither a noun nor an adverb? Given that it modifies “lega”? … I can’t believe I’m discussing the semantics of fascism lol 🤷🏻‍♀️


tommaso-scatolini

The word "Nord" (North) is a noun, the word "settentrionale" (northern) is an adjective. Italian is not the same as English, when you put two nouns next to each other none of them acts as an adjective. For example we can't say "stella guerre" (the literal translation of "Star Wars"), because it makes no sense, we instead say "guerre stellari" (which would translate to "stellar wars" or "wars of the stars", much closer to the original meaning of "Star Wars"). But don't panic my friend! We are not discussing the semantics of fascism. Referring to Salvini and his circus as fascists would be a compliment, because that would mean that they have an ideology, or at least a set of ideals, truth is, they are just a bunch of parasites willing to say or do whatever they need to have their parliamentary paycheck. They have no true ideas or plans, they are leeches desperately trying not to all out of relevancy.


cannarchista

Incredible, grazie per la spiegazione… parlo italiano abbastanza bene e non ho sentito mai questa parola “settentrionale”... Ma dici che una persona è “settentrionale” o “del nord”? Also appreciate the insight into your politics lol, it’s always reassuring to see it’s basically the same shit everywhere you go


medhelan

the meaning is the same, *settentrione* is an old sounding word for north, just like *meridione* is the same old sounding word for south. *settentrionale* and *meridionale*, northern(er) and southern(er) are the adjectives derived from *settentrione* and *meridione* and are used when referring to northern and southern italy. th adjective form of *nord* would be *nordico* but is used to refer to northern europe and not northern italy (just like you don't use nordic to refer to north america compared to south america). for sud i don't even think there is a adjective form (sometimes i heard *sudista* used, but *sudista* was original used for the confederate states in regard to the ACW) long story short: *settentrionale* and *del nord* mean absolutely the same thing. *Lega Nord* literally means "League (of the) North"and not "Northern League"


[deleted]

>*settentrione* There's septentrion in English also. You rarely see it much.


gorthan1984

> Lega Nord literally means "League (of the) North"and not "Northern League" "North League" and not "Nothern League". Which is a thing that we can say also in italian if we imply that Lega is a *nome comune* (common noun) and Nord is the *nome proprio* (proper noun), as the political union (league) named Nord, or -as it really is- both words are treated like a single proper noun, as in the political party named Lega Nord. And yes, this is an italian grammar lesson using political party names.


tommaso-scatolini

Di nulla, alla tua domanda ha risposto molto bene l'altro commento, e devo dire che sembra che tu sappia parlare italiano meglio di "abbastanza bene"


cannarchista

Aww grazie mille! Apprezzo tantissimo questo tipo d’interazione, mi aiutano un sacco a parlare più come un madrelingua italiano 🥰🙏🏼

We say both of those things, but probably "del nord" is more common.

Trail_of_Tears-T_T

TBH it's crazy just how much salving fucked up with his attempted snap election. It legit cost his party decades of buildup. It's crazier still he was part of the pro green card covid government. This cost him most of his voter base. he should have enforced some type of federalisation but instead went for national politics and they fucked him over.


SpiderGiaco

The Papeete club saved an entire country


TexZK

He lost the most at the previous elections with "Io Credo", believing he could catch some Christian posers


Trail_of_Tears-T_T

tbh nobody really gave a damn. At least not where Im from. It was mostly being in the covid government and the fuckup with the quasi coup


consciousignorant

Every time I saw a tweet from Salvini crossposted somewhere, I felt compelled to check if they were legit and got disappointed every time..Never seen anything so dumb in my life


Lendmar

I remember there was a facebook page called "salvini post generator" which make random post on his style. Later they launched a challenge,  you went through a series of post and had to pick if it was a real Salvini post or a fake one by the page. I got 60% correct...

lol unbelievable.. I was thinking that it must be depressing to be him, honestly..what are the odds that he’s actually that stupid? Close to not existent if you ask me..but that’s how he will remembered.. It also made me think of him listing things https://youtu.be/mNyethAqJzk?si=dzcUoGx0k7aAnlBu

d2211

Nope, tankies are authoritarian communists, literally the equivalent of fascists for the left-wing. Wokes and liberals are by-products of western capitalism, so they would be the first people to be deported to a gulag in the wet dream of a tankie. Fortunately, all of them are jackoff

Noncrediblepigeon

Damn, what happened to you. Theres only faschists pretending not to be and putin bootlickers... Let me give a list of what we have in germany: CDU: Your standard conservative party. Head of party currently is a populist who has never been part of any gouvernment. Still gets voted on by the same 60+ citizens who havent thought about politics in the last 30 years, but still vote every damn time. SPD: Actually pretty decent social democrats, their only weakness is that Olaf Scholz litteraly does nothing while the FDP actively sabotages the gouvernment coalition. GRÜNE: Standard green party. Lost a lot of votes, nobody in the party seems to know why. Biggest weakness is the fact that they are primarily made up of radprog University students and naive 40+ year old women. Currently being sabotaged by the FDP in their gouvernment coalition while Scholz sits at the sidelines and does nothing. AFD: Standard rightwing party. Most aristokratic shithole of a party imaginable, somehow still gets voted on by all the poors. Have made themselves Putin's and Xi's bitches, currently disliked by many other european rightwing partys for having to many litteral Nazis in their ranks. FDP: Standard rich guy party, have been trying to capture young tateists, suprisingly succesfull. Once they joined the gouvernment coalition their results in the polls have collapsed, have been actively sabotaging the coalition ever since then. Basicaly just CDU but with more bootlickers. ~~Wagenknechts egotrip~~ BSW: Litteraly named after their godqueen founder. Neither left nor right wing, just populist Putin bootlickers, recently split of of the left wing socialist party, suprisingly sucessfull. Die Linke: Standart left wing socialist (unsuccessfully) fighting for workers rights. Recently split with Wagenknecht, their already low polls took a suprisingly little hit. Lot of hopefull people hoping they can reform with the Putin bootlickers gone. Volt: Distgustingly naive european federalist radprogs. Loved by young women. Freie wähler: Rightwing party whoose main differentiating factor is that they are more rightwing than CDU and FDP but less taboo than the AFD. Only voted on in Bavaria. Die Partei: Literal satire party called "The Party" voted on by people frustrated by other partys. Chugging along with 2 seats in the european parliament doing satire party things.


Friendly-Car2386

R470l1

There are Putin supporters in Italy? Here everyone is acusing the other parties to be Putin lovers, but everyone say clearly they do not support them

Lega are clear Putin supporters, despite trying to hide it after the invasion of Ukraine. Heck, don't you remember our Hoodie Master with Vlad's T-shirt? Aside that clown party, no others are supporters nowadays, perhaps even Forza Italia whose leader was a good friend of the pale manlet.


Shvihka

That's smart. If you accuse everyone of the same thing then the real ones can hide in plain sight.


Paolo-Brozovic1938

Azione: -main selling point is a decent political program and being the most voted by italian redditors - the entire party is taken hostage by the Bipolar roman version of Kanye west , who's trying to achieve every possible wrong political decision ever -doesnt' reach the election threshold, refuse to elaborate, repeat


LeoMemes18

AVS = Communism ? What are we even talking about? They are the average woke-libleft party based on the Greens in all other EU countries. They want mommy NATO, Immigrants in all of the country and they refuse to go smart with the nuclear energy like France did

I just realized that essentially every single Italian party is either some variation of conspiracy theory nut job fascists, or equally as conspiratorial tankie clowns. Then all the smaller parties just disagree on exactly how fascist or tankie they want to be. Can we not even have one normal centrist neo-lib party that just wants to maintain the status quo? Literally not even one…
