      Nah he's a comrade, but age might cause him to slide into lib tendencies

        time comes for us all. May his slide be insignificant and weirdly specific

            The search is like a badly sorted library though. With meta data of the icons the search could become semi workable till our emojis exceed the storage capacity of the Earth.

            Freeanotherday showed me that in fact does search tags. You just have to type in words semi correctly.

            loading the preview takes too long, if at all lol. Thank you though!

                Android too. Idk, I've always found the emoji finder chugs hard, to the point of impacting usability. I've also got dogshit internet so that probably doesn't help.

                The inline :wordfragment: format works well enough for me, and limits the number of images I'm trying to load at once

    He was hung up because people kept beating on his corpse. 1 woman shot his body with a pistol.

      His argument was "the corpse shouldn't have been exposed, it's already dead and making a party defiling a corpse is pretty crass"

          He started saying they should have imprisoned him forever instead of immediate death penalty. Which like, c'mon, I know you are against death penalty but c'mon

            That's where I always get whatabouty. Like, why should leaders get off easier than combatants when they have more agency in the conflict? What about all the noncombatants who got it worse than ol' Benny did?

            Why, if we're going to talk about victims of injustice in all of history, are we talking about Mussolini?

              His stance was "I know he deserved it, far worse even but the show was barbaric regardless"

            the death penalty is a far kinderpunishment than life in prison, unless maaaaaaybe if its a cushy prison with other people

              Eh you are right, but in this case there's an enormous risk you'll lose power to some other fascist/fascist in disguise who will free the turd / put him in a cushy prison.

              There was a political necessity for the Romanovs to be romanoffed, and there was a political necessity for Mussolini to be immediately shot and displayed like a pig. Maybe, idk.

          Hey, italians' favorite group activity is killing a pig and hanging it upside down for further butchering. Tho the pig is literal and not figurative.

    when Mussolini was captured, the war was over. the fascisti had collapsed and there was no risk of him falling into enemy hands, so no circumstances that made immediate execution a necessity. forcing him to stand trial & make a pathetic display of himself in court could've easily been as beneficial as an execution, if not more in the long run. the Reds running a public trial of fascist leaders could've been a serious political tool, and execution very well could've followed that anyway. it unironically was a miscalculation from the PCI to forfeit a piece for the post-war settlement like that.

    for displaying the corpse, it's a bit medieval i guess, but the main error was allowing retribution-ist justice rule instead of realpolitic.

      Yeah, this was his angle, but we didn't discuss it with such details cuz we were talked over by libs.

      INDEED! Killing a pig and hanging it upside down for further butchering is a literal core festivity in my family!

    One day, when luxury gay space communism tm is won, sure we don’t hang the fascists for display, they’ll be suppressed or non-existent I imagine. But we ain’t there yet, hang the fuckers and send the message, ensure that particular evil incarnate cannot rise to power again.

    I get where they’re coming from I think, but that’s a brainworms
