This is the third post i made today related to the wedding protests. I hope you people enjoy. I'm sharing these because many of the protesters behind it are getting arrested.

I'm glad you are. I love the "No Kings" slogan and that other countries are taking it up. I wish they would call the next protest in America "No Kings II, then whatever they were going to call it here." I guess we could could call it unofficially, "No Kings II."

From the outside looking in, the pageantry of it all is probably why it sticks. You also have someone to talk about. We get the drama of US citizens and immigrants being sent to concentration camps or prisons in other countries.

Also outside looking in:

Just give him time, I'm sure people will start respecting him if he does a good job for 20-30 years

Italy has a fascist government, and the council of Venice is pro Bezos, claiming that somehow he has more right to rent Venice than its citizens have to live in it.

The granddaughter of the guy that literally invented fascism is in Italian parliament right now.

Great work. Way to stick your neck out.

It is just a reinforcement for us. He has probably never had more than the ever-elusive 'fleeting high'. He's in a skinner box, where he has already maxed out the ill effects of one of our more powerful tools (money). He has to go to ever further extents to quiet the demons that most of us had to cope with since adolescence.

To drive the point home, he'll never be able to make any new authentic connections in his life (if he ever could in the past). While it is a bit copium, and I am as frothy in the mouth about his antics as any well-meaning individual, I do find it one of the constant, if smallest, wins.

I haven’t been reading too much news lately. What is going on with Jeff Bezos and why are people protesting him?

He's getting married in Venice with all of his friends there. People are protesting because Venice is pretty crowded with tourists and vulnerable to climate change. Also he's Jeff Bezos.

Yeah what a dumb part of the article lol. That being said, I'm sure there were more celebrities that managed to sneak in without being recognized

I don't even care who goes. It's a big party. Why not.

I love the publics response though. We need more of that.

It's not the wedding. It's that he wanted to take over the entire centre of Venice.

Honestly, that doesn't strike me as a ton of money for his wedding. He must not care too much for this wife.

And the orange menace's POS daughter is attending, as icing on the cake.

It's like Italy doesn't even have their own politics anymore, it's only America. Not a single politician in Italy. No Mafia, no fascists, Mussolini didn't have a daughter, nothing. Absolutely nothing that they could be distracted from. Just America.

Italians are concerning themselves too much with America

There are many protests happening in italy against the current fascist government but they are not much of interest for international media.

You have absolutely no idea what's going on in Italy, do you.

Why did you even bother commenting?
