Your joke lost steam when you conflated how US police acts towards petty crime or suspects on the monthly with the way good Italians strung up Mussolini.
Or are you just gatekeeping your sacred indignation.
Instead of rallying around “things are bad”, you are creating more rifts/separation based off how much worse YOU think someone is than someone else. If that is what you are doing, then YOU are part of the problem. You are letting this shit divide instead of unite.
And it wasn’t a reference to Mussolini. Is that the only Italian you know that was “strung up”? He was murdered by a mob and then strung up, after getting caught trying to flee. No where near Venice.
