The Italian Trump

 
Italy now has its own version of Donald Trump, Giorgia Meloni. She is the first woman to be elected Prime Minister of Italy, although you won't hear that refrain half as often as you did with Hilary Clinton; in fact I'm surprised they even said it at all. Her election has caused pandemonium to break out in the European Union because Meloni is known to be Euroskeptic, saying: "No to the bureaucrats in Brussels!". Is Italiexit now inevitable? If so what will it mean for the federation to lose yet another major member? The Commission has issued its usual veiled but empty threats, like they did to us over Brexit. Meloni is determined to tackle Italy's horrific mass immigration problem and, unlike the others, I believe her. She is very opposed to Big Brother surveillance and the loss of identity caused by individualistic consumerism. She has a very low opinion of feminism and sees many of the pathologies in it that I also can. She has been described as a "fascist", something she denies. I cannot take that accusation seriously anyway; these days everybody to the right of Josef Stalin is regarded as a fascist. She's a big fan of JRR Tolkien, which is another good sign; and I bet she doesn't like the new Amazon adaptation. It would be fair to say she is a populist. That's not an easy word to define, but it could be described as somebody who says things no other politicians say, but the populace always wish they would say. This is why I call her Italy's Trump. Even without looking at the details of her policies, her speeches are incredibly refreshing. She talks favourably about demographics which in most other countries are almost dehumanized; heterosexual families, cis-gender people, men and white people. She represents an inspiring backlash against the very sinister and dangerous propaganda against those demographics that is all too acceptable in the West. I hope her victory will encourage populists in other nations. In fact populists in Sweden have made huge gains in their own current election. It is not only the Eurocrats in the Tower of Babel parliament building that are throwing their toys out of the pram. Predictably, the Western wokeists are reacting exactly as they did to Trump's election. However, in this case their ire can be focused on a particular nationality. We've seen this lately with expat Russians, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/03/hating-russians.html. Are we now going to see Italian restaurants boycotted and vandalized? I hope not.
