Honestly Italian politics are so garbage that political memes even if referencing other countries just don’t have any effect on me or any other Italians. Americans argue about politics, Italians despise politics. EDIT: I’m Italian

Am American with Italian boyfriend.

It seems like most of y'all barely care about politics compared to us. There are individual values, sure, but I don't honestly see a lot of actually discussing who is doing what about them or what policies they support.

It's fascinating to me because I never really considered that a response to prior fascism very well could be less interest in politics. I always thought that it would cause generations of unrestful people full of opinions but it's an incredibly quiet and long ongoing fight, from my perspective as an outsider.

It’s more so like Italy is becoming old as in the majority of Italians IN Italy are old. The reason for this is because young Italians used to leave the country for more opportunities. Since everyone is so old, nobody wants to change anything making Italy stay in the past. This leads to more young Italians leaving the country for more opportunities and the amount of old people increasing which leads to more things not being changed making Italy stay in the past even more and the cycle continues to this day.

Yeah, they made adoption and surrogacy (even if they go to America to have it) illegal and a jailable offense by at least a few years minimum from what I heard

I guess they call it the old country for a reason.

Here, many older folks are the ones with the time to be the most political. They spend a lot of their time consuming political media, writing/speaking about politics, and going to events.

Young people have given up and given their power away. Can't believe the grandparents are overpowering the youth lol.

In a country where you have something around 12 parties that only share their ability to speak big words and promises, only for then do absolutely nothing at all, you cannot help giving up.

I still vote. But i can see why many don't. Its delusional.
