1[1:39 PM] lugia19: Okay
2[1:39 PM] lugia19: video is over
3[1:39 PM] lugia19: commence super ultra political rant
4[1:40 PM] lugia19: John oliver (with the exception of berlusconi and salvini) has merely scratched the surface of everything wrong with the various runners in this election(edited)
5[1:40 PM] lugia19: Let's start off with fivestar, or M5S as I'll refer to them
6[1:41 PM] lugia19: They are an utter and complete mess
7[1:41 PM] lugia19: They claim to be anti-establishment, to be the new entry in politics and all that garbage, they claim to be different
8[1:41 PM] lugia19: but a huge number of them have been caught part taking in the same behavior other politicians have: corruption, bribery etc.
9[1:42 PM] lugia19: Not only that but whilst they claim decisions are taken by the voters it's a complete lie
10[1:42 PM] lugia19: candidates are excluded based on decisions from their higher ups
11[1:42 PM] lugia19: not based on who gets the most votes
12[1:42 PM] lugia19: the higher ups take decisions without being questioned
13[1:42 PM] lugia19: diMaio himself is little more than a puppet for them
14[1:43 PM] lugia19: here's an example of some shitty behavior
15[1:43 PM] lugia19: a hacker got into the platform they use for online voting and reported the security flaws (didn't steal any data)
16[1:43 PM] lugia19: they had him arrested
17[1:43 PM] lugia19: not only that but because of this it was discovered that they keep a record of what people have voted in the past
18[1:44 PM] lugia19: so they could at any moment pull out the voting history for any single voter
19[1:44 PM] lugia19: which is fucked
20[1:44 PM] lugia19: now let's move on to the big fish, the reason everything is so fucking fucked: Matteo Renzi.
21[1:44 PM] lugia19: He's a complete and utterly incompetent fool
22[1:44 PM] lugia19: He tied the referendum to his own persona, making it so it was lost NOT because people didn't want the reform, but because they didn't want him
23[1:45 PM] lugia19: he's the secretary of the leftist party and has been acting like a tyrant
24[1:45 PM] Richter: wat
25[1:45 PM] lugia19: what
26[1:45 PM] lugia19: I'm going on a rant
27[1:45 PM] lugia19: on all the political parties
28[1:45 PM] Richter: yeah, I'm just surprised how fucked everything is
29[1:45 PM] lugia19: yeap.
30[1:45 PM] Richter: keep going
31[1:45 PM] lugia19: Did you know that matteo renzi was never elected
32[1:46 PM] lugia19: He simply replaced the previous prime minister, Letta
33[1:46 PM] lugia19: having been elected secretary of the leftist party (PD) he was able to take support away from Letta, forcing him to resign, and taking his place
34[1:47 PM] lugia19: then proceeded to fuck a shitton of things up with half-assed solutions that in the end benefitted only him
35[1:47 PM] lugia19: such as this extremely complicated new voting system, which doesn't fix any of the issues with the previous one
36[1:47 PM] lugia19: but was created to favor him
37[1:47 PM] lugia19: this entire situtation was created by the left's failures
38[1:47 PM] lugia19: Let's see
39[1:48 PM] lugia19: The return of fascism: The complete shutdown and unwillingness to discuss the migrant ISSUE, which is a very real one, created this
40[1:48 PM] lugia19: mind you the issue isn't the migrants themselves, rather the fact that we have not recieved enough help to handle them all
41[1:48 PM] Richter: thanks leftists, every time you fuck it up you make more nazis
42[1:48 PM] lugia19: Pretty much yeah
43[1:48 PM] lugia19: Then let's go to M5S, and the general extreme anti-establishment sentiment
44[1:49 PM] lugia19: THis is because PD when they were in power did almost nothing to quell the rampant corruption and instead took part in it
45[1:49 PM] lugia19: Berlusconi's return, also a huge failure on PD's part
46[1:49 PM] lugia19: they had been talking up this conflict of interest law for YEARS
47[1:49 PM] lugia19: then when they were in power decided to not even try and pass it
48[1:49 PM] lugia19: it would've prevented berlusconi from running but nooooooooo
49[1:50 PM] lugia19: it would've also harmed them
50[1:50 PM] lugia19: because they're corrupt like everybody else
51[1:50 PM] lugia19: John Oliver explained the issues with lega/berlusconi pretty well, but I'd like to add that not everyone that supports lega is necessairly a fascist
52[1:50 PM] lugia19: people are sick and tired of the left after their failures, and are willing to turn to everyone else
53[1:51 PM] lugia19: those that haven't become disillusioned with italian politics as a whole that is
54[1:51 PM] lugia19: that's pretty much the gist of it.
55[1:51 PM] lugia19: tl;dr a lot of this is matteo renzi's fault
56[1:51 PM] lugia19: most of this in fact
57[1:53 PM] lugia19: I myself think I will just leave the voting card blank
58[1:53 PM] lugia19: /rant
