Amazing that I now have more in common with freedom loving Italians than with my next door neighbor.

The Italians must be willing to hold the line...for a long time. The French have been protesting every weekend for three months. Whoever is behind this is not backing down.

What amazes me is that they keep pushing the mandates in the face of increasing vaxx failure.

This ends with a massive undeniable failure of the vaxxes to stop infection, transmission, illness, and death.

I’m willing to wager a lot of that crowd is vaccinated too

Wow, the crowds are impressive and giving me piloerection.(not a dirty word, btw). The world is catching on and this will continue. Tyranny cannot pass, we must persist! Go Italy, we are behind you!

Of course the media here in the U.S. is pretending like nothing is really happening in Italy. Just by doing a Google search of vaccine protests in Italy, two NY Times headlines pop up that read. “Covid in Italy: Protests Fizzle as Government Imposes Vaccine Mandate in Workplaces” and “ Protests fizzle as activists fail to galvanize the masses against the new mandate.”. The AP shows a completely different story with many protestors.

After reading one twitter guru after another consign the unvaxxed to second class citizenship and to the back of the health care triage line, I can't say I would be that upset if most of the vaxxed started throwing clots and dying in large numbers over the next few years.

Small correction: health passports (="green pass") for restaurants, trains, hotels, museums, etc.

have been in effect for a while in Italy. As you say, now you need it to enter workplace.

Health passport: vaccine (valid for 12 months), recovered (valid for 6 months),

negative test (valid for 48 hours) at your expense.

Every time I've visited Europe and Italy in particular, I've said "Italians (Europeans) really know how to live". This is just more proof. Go Italy!

Here in Melbourne protesters face a military group who fire rubber bullets and tear gas. The MSM reported a few hundred 'neo-nazi' protesters. Avi Yemeni's footage showed a different side and appeared on Alex Berenson;s substack. The march I saw that went down Flinders Street and onto the Westgate on September 21 looked to be at least 20 000 . I saw zero neo-nazis; they looked to be mostly, but not only, tradies.

The footage is from the 10th. Curious to know what it looks like today.

I really want to believe that the tide is starting to turn. A blot can be accomplished with sustained and resounding "NO."

Actually, today (Saturday 16 October) is the day when any really big protests will happen, if they indeed happen, which most observers doubt. I'm no fan of NYT (quite the opposite) but their headline about the Italian protests fizzling was quite accurate. Numerous protesters did turn out and paraded peacefully, but the overall numbers were modest.

State tv channel RAI has been giving reasonable coverage to the protests, and so has Euronews, so there isn't much of an MSM blackout. Early this morning RAI showed its correspondent posted at Trieste to report on how the effort to disrupt the port would unfold today.

Fact is that public apathy will probably win the day for the government. Over 80% of working age Italians already have the pass. They'll likely just carry on as usual, and probably won't feel obliged to stand with unvaxxed neighbors and colleagues. Way of the world.

We’re in Italy right now on a cycling trip. It’s a very small town, no unrest here. But power to the people. Revolt citizens!!! Revolt!!!!
