I haven't seen any racist sentiments on the rise, despite the press saying so.

I just saw bunch of contards doing some "free citizen of the world" bits and comparing themselves to jews during the holocaust (which the press says it's a proof of rising antisemitism, seems legit).

More than half of the Italians surveyed in a recent poll have said that racist acts were either sometimes or always “justifiable”, a finding that comes after a series of high-profile racist and antisemitic incidents across the country.

The polling firm, SWG, questioned a sample of 1,500 people of whom 10% said racist acts were always justified and a further 45% who said racist acts could be acceptable depending on the situation.

The remaining 45% said racist acts of any kind were completely unacceptable.

SWG conducts the same survey once a year and for the first time in a decade the majority of those questioned did not condemn racism outright.

Nice, thank you.
