9 months agoI’m not surprised. Italy has always been a fascist country at heart, fascism never really went away here. The amount of people still openly and proudly identifying as fascist is disgustingly high. It’s gotten better with the new generations but not as much as one would hope. Talks of mandatory work and military service have been circulating for years, the latter was still a thing not too long ago. I honestly can’t wait to get out of here…
With that said, the idea of basically having your future decided by an artifical intelligence is absolutely terrifying with how biased and nonsensical they tend to be. And I’ll be honest, even if that could be solved, I wouldn’t trust the Italian government to properly do so with how technologically incompetent it has been historically.
