‘Destroying Western civilisation…’: Italian PM Meloni delivers implicit rebuke to Left in US speech




Elon Musk offered effusive praise for Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni in brief remarks at an awards ceremony in New York, the latest sign of coziness between a billionaire who’s trying to get Donald Trump elected and a European leader with roots in the hard right but who has fully embraced Atlanticism. After Musk spoke, Meloni delivered an implicit rebuke to the left, lamenting the desire to “violently erase the symbols of our civilizations in the US as in Europe.” “I know that we should not be ashamed to use and defend words and concepts like nation and patriotism, words that mean more than a physical place,” Meloni said. “They mean a state of mind to which one belongs.”

  1. Interesting that you see a rebuke of the Left. I just as much see a rebuke of the political authoritarianism of the Right, as well as the cultural authoritarianism of the Left. And she rebukes Musk/Trump who want to give Putin what he wants when she ways she supports Ukraine fighting for their freedom and sovereignty and against the tyranny of the strongest. She rebukes tech bros (mentioning Elon) who try to get people to exchange their values for more comfort.

  2. As an Italian, alongside many other Italians, I know that if people knew how much President Meloni is damaging Italian economy, culture and progress, nobody would compliment this woman, ever.

    There is a massive regression of Italian culture, economy and society as a whole because of the extremely narrow-minded attitude of the president and her party.

    She is at the government only because of the divisive behaviour of the Italian left wing, which in all honesty is not proving to be much better than the right wing unfortunately.

    Tons of Italian citizens in and outside Italy dislike her and are truly disappointed with Giorgia Meloni.

    She has proven so many times to be incapable of carrying out effective international politics and of truly leading her own country in several occasions.
    She is very knowledgeable and probably a fair example of strong woman as a female leader, but she is extremely narrow-minded and cannot lead a country to real progress.

    This video shows only an unrealistically embellished version of Giorgia Meloni.
    I was raised in Italy (although I currently live in the UK) and politicians like her are the reason why myself and many other Italians migrated to other countries.

    In Italy this is called “the departure of the capable people”, which Italy is currently trying to bring back to the country, due to the migration of such a high number of people.

    I hope viewers will gather information on this woman from a wide range of sources, not just this, in order to make up their own mind and critical attitude.

  3. Italy has been on the wrong side of historical wars of ideology rooted in nationalism let’s not forget . Musk gets involved as he and the Italian pm think nationalism solves Italy’s problems . Anyone that creates artificial intelligence risks humanity’s independence , which musk has already admitted yet still continues with his vanity project . The political right are fond of claiming globalists interfere to much , yet give free pass to ppl like musk on their side of politics which creates a dilemma of honesty and undermines their point surely . How this destroys any left wing thinking which is not by default against sovereignty or unified in one view . It’s over simplifying these complex issues . Nor is the political right either for that matter unified in one voice , Mussolini was not a hero , and that is not even worth debating , unless your a fascist sympathiser 🤔 in which case your more dangerous than the left and ignoring the warnings from history proves your wrong .
