    Is that tweet real?

    It's extremely racist, obviously. Am I having a stroke?

    I guess I understand if it was meant satirically, but even then, this obviously shows the dangers of satire. In that this is, or was, a very real and offensive stereotype. I'm not going to bat for Italy or Italians in general, but rather that we mustn't hold past sins against individuals. The current people of Italy are not to blame for past damages, just as descendents are not to blame for being Italian. We must judge each by the character and convictions, not by their spaghetti.

    "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb."

    We are bound comrades. Skin, blood, flesh, all are meaningless. It is a consciousness of togetherness that binds us. Each of us toils away in our individual lives, but we each recognize the struggle we face individually as the same struggle, together we may conquer this for a better tomorrow. Our shared experience and knowledge will guide our collective future to true prosperity. This is our world and we will retake it.
