The survey by the Centre for Social Investment Studies (CENSIS) showed 39% of Italians aged between 18 and 45 would declare themselves as pacifist conscientious objectors, 19% would try to evade conscription another way, and 26% would prefer Italy to hire foreign mercenaries.
You see, Italians hate their country, but at the same time think it’s the best country (right until they need to do some bureaucracy, then it’s the worst).
So they nationalisticaly defend it with words against other countries, but they wouldn’t actually put skin in the game.
Source: you can see my instance ends with .it
Why does working in IT give you insight into Italy?
If you aren’t sarcastic, .it is Italy national domain (short for Italy, ofc)
This would explain it, thanks for the insight
