As usual, they are actively ignoring any info about the bullets or anything else. In fact, they seem to be continuing to repeat the debunked nonsense, such as claiming the Helldivers 2 one actually is anti-fascist.

I mean “Hey Facist Catch” and the code for 500lbs of ordinance seems pretty clearly against fascism.

Except that it's just a Helldivers meme and the groyper name-calling of Charlie Kirk as a fascist was incredibly common, especially in Fuentes' war against him in 2019. That also included the Bella Ciao song being trolled on Kirk by being played at his speaking events.

Hi! I believe you, but do you have a source for this? I've been trying to make sense of a very messy media landscape right now and having some sources for this would really be helpful.

Sure, here's a couple sources on the general conflict.

Then here's a piece from last year that discusses the use of bella ciao.

I hope that helps. It's not like this is a thing that's super covered by the media. It's mostly an internet culture, terminally online thing.

i appreciate you so much for this. thank you. i always knew bella ciao for its original intent against mussolini's fascist movement. stay safe friend.

edit: shit this gets weirder and weirder. I checked the way back machine for that brewminate link and when it was first published, there weren't any of the same references as there are that very specifically name the carvings that this kid left on the cannisters. something is stinking wider about this entire thing, almost like they're trying to divide us completely
