Scenes from the #antifascista counter-protest my friend Simone and I joined in the neighborhoods of Barriera di Milano and Aurora yesterday. In the newspapers it was publicized to be a great demonstration of the Italian far right-wing party but in the end they had only a puny, sad little turnout of people to champion their backward, xenophobic, patriarchal politics. Our numbers (and our sense of fun and vitality) far outnumbered their sad and angry little cadre of fascists who snaked their way through immigrant neighborhoods while safely guarded by their over-ample police escort. At the end, they didn’t even have the courage to disassemble openly. Those pathetic cowards just rolled up their fascist flags and banners and had someone ferry them away surreptitiously. Then they waited around and chatted amiably behind the police protection barriers until the counter-protest dissipated. After that they just scattered back to safety like dirty little cockroaches. 🪳 🪳 🪳#lovewins #antiracist #antifascist #progress #torino #barrieradimilano #auroratorino #protest #protestas #democracy #activism #italy #italianpolice (at Aurora (Torino)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQwDBQsdcF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
