“You have to do threesomes or foursomes with us … We f–k,” said Andrea Giambruno, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s now-ex-boyfriend of 10 years, to another woman.

… this is what the elites in Europe have come to… hedonism, lack of loyalty except to personal desires, no sense of responsibility to anything bigger than self-interest. Sadly, the USA is headed the same way if the liberals, leftists, progressives, socialists, and Democrats continue to have their way with our government, schools, and children…

… The socialist mindset has made Europeans lazy and entitled. …

I’m not sure what I expected from the comments but it certainly wasn’t that.

Bruh. She's literally calling herself a fascist. Can't get more right wing than that

[–] MrsDoyle@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ha ha, yes, they are such entitled hedonists these days, not like the Borgias for example...

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 59 points 2 years ago

Imagine how deeply mentally ill you have to be to believe "grab em by the pussy" holds the non-hedonist, moral high ground?

[–] KnowledgeableNip@leminal.space 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Right, the far-left liberal ideals of national-conservative populists.

You know, that thing that totally exists somewhere other than paranoid brains damaged by leaded gasoline.

The USA is definitely headed this way.. towards a proto-fascist leader on the GOP side. Meloni comes from the remainder of Mussolini's supporters. Doesn't have anything to do with Europeans or Socalists of course.

Owned by the same guy as Fox News, so yeah, commenters are going to be garbage. That's the only type of people who read that website

What? Right wing conservative facist in fact has a very non-traditional open relationship with a sexual predator...well if I had a nickel...etc etc.

[–] DieguiTux8623@feddit.it 46 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Ironically, her party still advocates for traditional family and strongly opposes any "deviation" from that model. The rules that apply to the élite are different from the rules for common people.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

No-one is further from conservative values, than the conservatives who claim to uphold them.

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 11 points 2 years ago

The funniest part is that almost all the members of that party and the allied parties are like that. They all want to force the values of the "traditional" family to all Italians but not for themselves

[–] nudnyekscentryk@szmer.info 3 points 2 years ago

We literally had the same news in Poland yesterday about Witold Tumanowicz from Konfederacja. They oppose divorce and yet this guy straight up had an affair, which was confirmed by two of his party colleagues,lol

Who else doesn't give a fuck about politicians relationships

[–] Awesomematter@lemmy.world 72 points 2 years ago

This is the reason: “While not married to Giambruno, Meloni frequently promoted traditional family and conservative values on the campaign trail, according to Politico Europe.”

One of the conservatives mottos “do as I say not as I do”

This is about fascists who want to dictate our sex lives but are blatantly in violation of their supposed norms. It’s not some rando getting a blowie.

[–] townfox@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yep. And also wtf is wrong with consensual group sex? Are we fucking puritans all of a sudden.

[–] dwindling7373@feddit.it 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Those lines are taken from recordings of Giambruno's conversations with colleagues in between takes of the show he used to host.

The conversation was far from being what one would consider consensual and he is now been suspended and investigated for sexual harassment.

[–] townfox@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Well good I suppose. I was reacting to the headline which was designed to sound bad but didn’t actually indicate any bad behaviour

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, but this wasn't that. He said that the woman would have to join the group sex to get the job.

[–] townfox@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Gotcha.

I was more reacting to the headline which didn’t include any of that information but still somehow was meant to sound bad. You know?

[–] ShadowRam@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Only if it has a chance to compromise national security.

[–] library_napper@monyet.cc 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Its the NY post. Can as ban them from this comm?

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I move to ban them from everything but those wire racks of free papers in gas stations. Sometimes you just need some newspaper, for cleaning windows or as kindling. This is perfect for that.

[–] Zeth0s@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

They missed the recording where he said to the female journalist in his team: "to work here you have to f*ck"

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

And did they agree?

[–] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

Wealth makes you starved. I found the depiction of this in Altered Carbon quite fitting. Though is this really world news worthy?

[–] 01011@monero.town 6 points 2 years ago

Why is this an issue?
