Italy has been on an economic decline for quite sometime. It’s threatening the existence of EU completely.
Excessive debt (330% of GDP), corrupt politicians, poor demographics, mismanagement of COVID crisis, soaring energy bills.
A thread 🧵 for your awareness 👇
The root of the problem is a demographic crisis that is set to accelerate over the next 10 years. Italy is running out of working age people. An economy needs people aged 15-64. This is considered the working age population, and this is critically important for an economy.
Working age (15-64) people who are actively working consume more, spend more, and earn income that can be taxed to support a country's debts. If there are no people or fewer people aged 15-64, the country will have fewer workers, less tax revenue.
The projections for the future population growth rate are the real problem.
Japan has long been the poster child for the worst demographics in the developed world, but Italy will surpass Japan in the next 2-3 years and hold the title for the worst demographics in the 🌍 title.
The US doesn't have great demographics, but relative to the rest of the world, the US is expected to have positive population growth in the 15-64 year-old bracket. At the same time, China, Japan, & broader Europe are all negative. Italy has the worst demographic future.
Italy is one of the most indebted countries in Europe, with public and private debt equal to more than 330% of GDP.
Most academic research shows that when total debt to GDP surpasses 300%, economic growth starts to fall, and the standard of living starts to decline.
Italy crossed this 300% threshold of excessive indebtedness around 2010, and its growth started to decline right on schedule. Real GDP per capita is synonymous with the standard of living, when growth is -ve, it means the standard of living is declining, & people feel worse off.
Political instability is a common result when standard of living starts to decline. We see instability in many countries around the world as inflation is high and is eroding the purchasing power of the people. The situation in Italy is no different, and it's devolving rapidly.
Not only does Italy have a debt crisis that they cannot solve, but they have a political crisis, with Prime Minister Mario Draghi offering his resignation on July 14 of 2022. Italy's acting President rejected Draghi's first resignation attempt. A week later, he resigned again.
A new election was set for September 2022, but until then, Italy was essentially acting with no one firmly in charge. The elections happened and right wing candidate Giorgia Meloni becomes the first ever woman Prime Minister of Italy.
Giorgia Meloni doesn't want Globalist control, she doesn't want the Italians to essentially be melted into a pot of all Europeans and treated like a number instead of a unique, individual human being.
If you’re wondering why all the globalist people on the planet are having a meltdown over Giorgia Meloni’s victory in the Italian elections, here’s a reason why
Britain 🇬🇧 exited the EU with #Brexit
Sweden 🇸🇪 elected right wing in 2022
Italy 🇮🇹 elected right wing in 2022
Are they next to exit the European Union, only time will tell if it happens 🤷♂️
WEF is a globalist organization pushing countries & corporations towards green technology, limiting fossil fuels, stopping animal protein, imposing nitrogen/carbon emissions quotas, adopting digital identity & currency, implant biological chips etc.
Georgia Meloni has spent the last 2 years as one of the few politicians in Italy fighting against the covid travel passports and for peoples freedom.
Now the Italian people elected her as their first woman Prime Minister🇮🇹
#EnergyCrisis has hit a fever pitch in Italy 🇮🇹. Most of the average working people and small businesses aren’t able to afford their energy bills. They’re resorting to public bill burning.
If Germany goes down, it drags the entire EU. At present Germany is one country funding the EU mostly. PM Meloni needs to make sure Italy reduces its debt burden for sure.
In the shadowed annals of empire, the invasion of Iraq revealed the blueprint: invent an existential threat, amplify it through every megaphone of power, then unleash hell under the banner of salvation. Weapons of mass destruction—those ghostly specters that never materialized—served as the perfect phantom, terrifying enough to silence dissent yet vague enough to evade accountability when the lie collapsed. The true prize was never aluminum tubes or yellowcake; it was the second-largest proven oil reserves on Earth, waiting to be liberated from a dictator and delivered into the hands of Western corporations. The war was sold as a moral crusade, but the receipts came later in the form of no-bid contracts and decades of guaranteed crude flowing through friendly pipelines.
Venezuela now stands in the crosshairs of the same script, only the boogeyman has been rebranded for a new century. Where once we feared mushroom clouds, we are now instructed to tremble before weapons of mass intoxication—tons of cocaine allegedly funneled through Caracas by a regime painted as the kingpin of global narco-terrorism. The opioid crisis ravaging American towns becomes the emotional battering ram, the humanitarian catastrophe of Venezuelan migrants the moral veneer, while the real objective glitters beneath the Orinoco Belt: the largest oil reserves on the planet, currently outside the grip of ExxonMobil and Chevron. The pattern is identical—demonize, destabilize, invade or install a compliant regime—only this time the pretext is not yellowcake but white powder, and the war will be waged not with tanks rolling across the desert but with sanctions, proxy forces, and perhaps, when the moment is ripe, a "limited intervention" to stop the drugs and secure the wells. History does not repeat; it simply changes costumes.
MOST OF EUROPE HAS DEVOLVED INTO AN ORWELLIAN DYSTOPIA PRIORITIZING IMMIGRANTS OVER CITIZENS, PRIORITIZING CENSORSHIP AND TYRANNY OVER FREE SPEECH
Britain's justice system has become a grotesque betrayal of its own people, prioritizing the leniency of foreign criminals over the safety and dignity of native citizens. In cases where migrants commit heinous acts like assaulting vulnerable young girls, courts hand down sentences that are laughably mild, often mere slaps on the wrist that allow perpetrators to roam free far too soon. Meanwhile, ordinary Brits who dare to protest against this influx of danger—standing up for their communities and demanding accountability—are slammed with harsher punishments, locked away for longer periods as if their righteous anger is the real crime. This inverted priority exposes a government more concerned with appeasing international optics and virtue-signaling tolerance than protecting the innocent, leaving families shattered and streets unsafe while rewarding those who prey on the weak.
By shielding immigrant offenders with soft sentencing and aggressive policing of dissent, Britain has effectively sided with the predators, eroding the social contract that once promised security and justice for all. Citizens watch in horror as resources pour into housing and supporting migrants, even those with criminal records, while victims of their violence receive scant support or closure. This systemic failure fosters a culture of fear and resentment, where the rule of law bends to multicultural mandates rather than upholding the rights of the law-abiding majority. In doing so, the nation not only fails its people but actively undermines their trust, paving the way for deeper divisions and a society where native lives seem expendable in the name of misguided compassion.
Oh, sure, because nothing says "democracy" like making sure every Tom, Dick, and undocumented Harry can waltz into a polling booth without so much as flashing a library card—after all, why bother with pesky proof when we've got all those other life essentials locked down tighter than a bank vault?
Democrats, in their infinite wisdom, apparently think that requiring ID for voting is just a sneaky Republican plot to keep the unwashed masses from exercising their sacred right to pull a lever, because heaven forbid we treat elections with the same rigor as picking up a six-pack or enrolling little Timmy in daycare.
It's not like voting could possibly influence, say, the entire country's future or anything; nope, that's totally on par with forgetting your ID at the pharmacy and having to reschedule your allergy meds pickup. How dare we impose such burdensome barriers on the one activity where fraud is about as common as a politician keeping a promise?
But wait, there's more hilarity… Democrats oppose voter ID because, gasp, it turns out getting that shiny piece of plastic can cost money, time, and a small sacrifice to the DMV gods—things that disproportionately hit poor folks, minorities, and the elderly who, coincidentally, might not vote for the party of tax cuts for billionaires.
It's almost as if these laws are less about stopping the mythical hordes of bus-riding imposters and more about engineering a voter turnout that's whiter and wealthier than a country club brunch. Who needs evidence of widespread fraud when you can just wave around memes implying hypocrisy, ignoring that voting is a constitutional right, not a privilege like boarding a plane or buying a firearm? Democrats must be cackling in their secret lairs, plotting to let everyone vote so easily that actual democracy breaks out—what a diabolical scheme!
BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE PROTECTING ELITE PEDOPHILES REFLECTING A DEEP SYSTEMIC ROT IN AMERICAN POLITICS
In the shadowy corridors of American power, both Democrats and Republicans have a vested interest in shielding pedophiles and suppressing explosive lists like those tied to Jeffrey Epstein and Sean "Diddy" Combs. This bipartisan complicity stems from a shared ecosystem of elite influence, where high-profile figures from both parties have been entangled in these scandals. Democrats, with connections to figures like Bill Clinton who flew on Epstein's plane multiple times, and Republicans, including ties to Donald Trump who once praised Epstein's social circle, recognize that full disclosure could unravel their mutual networks of donors, lobbyists, and power brokers. By stonewalling investigations and slow-walking document releases, they preserve a fragile truce that protects their own from accountability, ensuring that the political machine continues uninterrupted. This isn't mere oversight; it's a calculated defense of the status quo, where exposing one side's skeletons risks toppling the entire house of cards.
Beyond personal entanglements, the protection racket thrives on financial incentives that transcend party lines. Epstein's web of influence included Wall Street titans and Hollywood moguls who funneled millions into campaigns on both sides of the aisle, creating a dependency that neither Democrats nor Republicans dare disrupt. Similarly, Diddy's empire, with its deep roots in entertainment and business, has donated to politicians across the spectrum, buying silence and favors. Releasing these lists would not only implicate individuals but also expose the corrupt underbelly of campaign finance, where dark money from compromised sources props up elections. Both parties, reliant on this influx of cash to maintain their grip on power, collude in burying the truth—through sealed court documents, delayed FOIA requests, and media deflection—to safeguard their economic lifelines, proving that when it comes to self-preservation, ideology takes a back seat to greed.
Ultimately, this bipartisan cover-up reflects a deeper systemic rot in American institutions, where justice is subordinated to elite solidarity. Pedophiles like those on these lists aren't just isolated predators; they're often embedded in a class of untouchables who wield influence over lawmakers, judges, and intelligence agencies. Democrats and Republicans alike benefit from this arrangement, as it allows them to control narratives, manipulate public outrage, and divert attention to partisan battles that distract from real accountability. By protecting these lists, they perpetuate a cycle of impunity that erodes public trust and shields the powerful from the consequences ordinary citizens would face. In the end, it's not about left or right—it's about an entrenched oligarchy ensuring that the veil remains intact, lest the masses demand a reckoning that could dismantle the entire facade.
The woke mind virus represents a insidious cultural phenomenon that prioritizes ideological conformity over individual freedom and rational discourse, infecting institutions from education to media with a rigid dogma that stifles dissent and promotes division. It masquerades as empathy and justice, yet it often weaponizes identity politics to silence opposing views, labeling them as hateful or bigoted without engaging in genuine debate. This mindset erodes the foundational principles of meritocracy and personal responsibility, replacing them with a hierarchy of victimhood that rewards grievance over achievement. In schools, it confuses young minds by pushing unproven theories on gender and race as absolute truths, leading to a generation more focused on performative activism than critical thinking or resilience. Ultimately, it fragments society into echo chambers, where nuance is lost, and relationships are strained by constant scrutiny and cancellation, weakening the social fabric that once united diverse perspectives under shared values.
Far from fostering progress, the woke mind virus undermines societal stability by encouraging censorship, economic inefficiency, and a culture of perpetual outrage that drains collective energy from real problem-solving. Corporations bend to its demands, implementing diversity quotas that prioritize optics over competence, resulting in diminished innovation and trust in leadership. It fuels a moral panic that amplifies minor offenses into existential threats, distracting from pressing issues like economic inequality or global security. By pathologizing traditional norms and equating disagreement with violence, it breeds intolerance under the guise of tolerance, alienating allies and radicalizing extremes on all sides. In the long run, this virus risks collapsing the very structures of open society—free speech, scientific inquiry, and mutual respect—paving the way for authoritarianism disguised as enlightenment, where conformity is enforced not by laws, but by social shaming and exclusion.
