The fact that Ty or the other "leaders" hides their hate better than the lower IQ'd is of no moment. This type post should be deleted.

He who ignores history is doomed to repeat it.
The history of Italian politics in the last half of the 20th century is a bloody one, at least by the standards of a Western democracy. For the 50 years following WWII, Italy had both a substantial Communist block and several small not-inconsequential neo-facist parties. The extremist portions of these two groups were not shy about using violence, and regularly assassinated office holders and candidates they found particularly offensive. Mostly, however, they just killed each other.
With the decline and fall of communism in the last 15 years, these groups have mainly disappeared, the communists finding themselves adrift and the facists going legitimate.
I'm more than happy to discuss (and condemn) the violence - both terrorist and state sponsored - in the United Kingdom, but such violence seems to be more tied to seasonal activities than to political cycles, so is less relevant here.
