If you hurt yourself and hurt a friend, your friend may understand the first few times it happens, but after a while the "I'm hurting myself too!" excuse may not be enough for them to remain your friend.

Isn't that even more reason though?

Sorry if I’d like ANY response to the attacks on trans people across Europe, the UK, Canada, and plenty of other places.

Italy's current governing party is declaredly fascist. It still hasn't done anything as bad as the US government had been doing before Trump, never mind after. Nonetheless, there's been multiple general strikes during their mandate, protests, and so on. Our ports were blocked in protest of the Gaza war, something we have WAY less influence on than you guys do, and those protests in my city drew the biggest crowd I'd ever seen at such an event.

Are we perfect? No. Should we do more? Yes. But please don't put us on the same level. All I hear from Americans is "oh no, I'll lose my job and starve on the street", but I live in a country where the average salary is half that of the US, with electricity two times as expensive and fuel almost three times as expensive compared to the US, so well, sorry if I don't fully empathise.

If you’re not proactive, you’ll be in the same boat as us. Italy had fascist gangs attacking people in the streets a few years back.

Italy INVENTED fascism, we've been fighting it for a century, it was born out of opposition to communism, and it wasn't eradicated at the end of WWII because our new overlords, the US, were just as afraid of communism as our previous ones, so yeah, we know, we're working on it, we've been for a long time.
