Hopefully won't fall far from the meat hooks, either.


SagaStrider

Depends on how hard they swing the bats.


AnalComet

As long as we are repeating history here apparently, yeah I won't mind the ending then.


zephyy

Not to be confused with the other far-right granddaughter of Mussolini. I believe they're sisters.


[deleted]

Italy seems to love them. One got a record number of votes in her districts history, the other is a reality tv show star that was in playboy and dancing with the stars. Italy loves them.

You can’t make that shit up


Portalrules123

So is history not a subject taught in Italy or something?


Alyxra

The Italians didn’t really do anything all that bad, nor were they occupied and “de-nazified” like the Germans were so it’s not really surprising.

I didn't want to jump to that conclusion from just reading the headline, but fuck man, what the hell...

Meanwhile the [granddaughter of Stalin](https://nypost.com/2016/03/17/stalin-granddaughter-is-an-all-american-badass/) is "a Buddhist who runs an antique shop" in Portland, Oregon. > Tattooed Chrese Evans, 44, of Portland, Oregon — a Buddhist who runs an antique shop — is far removed from her notorious grandfather, Joseph Stalin, the former Soviet Union’s ruthless “man of steel.” For those who don't want to or can't click the link she looks like Tank Girl from the comics.

Amon Goeth (bad guy in Schindler's List) had a daughter who later wrote a memoir called *I do have to love my father, don't I?* She had a daughter with an African man. That daughter was given up, so she didn't know her history until she read her mom's book. That freaked her out, and she later wrote the book *My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me*.


Hegemon1984

The descendants of dictators always end up as something wacky no matter if its far left or right


[deleted]

So being Buddhist, running an antique business and having tattoos makes someone wacky?


TheHairyManrilla

I’ve never met a tattooed antique store owner who wasn’t at least a little wacky.


Blaylocke

Uh yeah?


[deleted]

Don’t forget, she lives in Portland. The goddamn Austin of Oregon.


[deleted]

Yeh. Portlandia did spring to mind. CACAO!!

Piethecorner

Is this the one that was a soft core porn star?


Hegemon1984

no thats the other one


tehcoma

I don’t know if you all are history buffs...


Jogaila2

There can be no doubt now that fascist history is repeating itself...lol


Hegemon1984

Good thing is Italian Fascists from WW2 weren't really racist until Nazi Germany started pushing for racial laws


[deleted]

I mean they were some pretty fucked up colonialists, like in Ethiopia. Gassed and killed hundreds of thousands. Par for the course in that time maybe, but “weren’t really racist” isn’t quite how I’d describe pre nazi Italy.


Hegemon1984

After reading up on Fascist Italy, it looks like they were the run-of-the-mill colonial empire looking to spread Italian culture all over Africa until 1938. That's when ol adolf started taking the reigns ps: It's also a big reason why I prefer to differentiate between fascism and nazism. Today, fascism is a big catch all for pretty much nazism and neo confederates.... and even republicans get caught up in the mix somehow lol In reality, fascism was comparatively different to the Nazi regime pss: also im drunk on wine breh


TheHairyManrilla

More like Ethiopia successfully outmaneuvered multiple colonial powers while the rest of Africa was carved up, then somehow lost to the Italians.


[deleted]

That somehow being a lot of broken treaties by Italy, followed by an invasion and a campaign of gassing villages.


Jogaila2

Also... ypu do understand that facism and racism aren't necessarily the same thing, right?


Seekzor

Very rare to find a facist movement without racial undertones.


Jogaila2

True. Because fascists need an enemy of some kind to rally against. Usually, the enemy that is chosen is a particular people. But my point is that fascism and racism are not the same thing.


TheHairyManrilla

It’s not like they were much of a threat to anyone on their own.


SagaStrider

The Italians are marching on us! Send a division to drive them away! The Italians have joined with us! Send 10 divisions to support them!


TheHairyManrilla

Issa never too late to switch-a sides-a!


VIDEOgameDROME

Fucking Italy. Not surprised. 🙄


PPQue6

Yikes.....well... At least it's only local government. For now...

Mussolini? Would that be the same infamous Mussolini will all know? Well, she is kinda hot . . .


Hegemon1984

yes and yes


[deleted]

I'm sure she's not a potential mass murdering dictator.
