Ok so the Italian Ministry for Health is fucking up big time. They just launched this unbelievably regressive campaign about fertility, which in its official presentation statements says it’s aimed at spreading awareness about: - the drop in birth rate in our country - the beauty of motherhood and fatherhood - the risks of illnesses that might impede becoming parents - medical help for men and women who can’t conceive. So far so good, except for the line in italic, which is just a prelude to the actual marketing about the event, scheduled for September 22nd, called Fertility Day (bad name choice already. There’s a shitty thing in Italy, called Family day, which is basically a gathering of bigots promoting “the traditional family” aka protesting against LGBT marriage/adoption). Examples to follow:

Translation: “Beauty doesn’t age. Fertility does.” Wow, sexist.

Translation: “Male fertility is much more vulnerable than it looks.”

I can see them thinking. Yo, we just stated that women can stay beautiful but become worthless if they don’t put their uterus to good use, that’s unfair towards women! Let’s do a male equivalent. How do we make a good metaphore for a useless cock? *facepalm*

Translation: “Cheers. Alcohol halves your fertility.” Oh, so we’re not having children because we’re too busy partying hard (there are two more like this one. One with cigarettes, the other one with drugs). Sounds about right. *sarcasm*

Translation: “Fertility is a common good.” Fertility is possibly the most personal good? WTF?? It’s MY - FUCKING - BODY.

Translation: “Young parents. The best way to be creative.” Plus…

Translation: “Our Constitution protects aware and responsible procreation.”

Sure. In a country where juvenile unemployment is over 40%, and where people under the age of 35 very rarely have a stable job that makes decent money, they’re calling us out for not becoming parents while we’re still young. We’re not being creative! We’re being irresponsible drunks! We’re not giving our contribution to make this country great and strong! Where did I hear this last one already? Oh right, it was common propaganda during the Fascist dictatorship.

Offensive. To my entire generation, who’s been fucked over enough. To those who wish they could have children, but are dealing with their 10th underpaid temporary job, while being rejected everywhere because they’re “overqualified”. To those who just aren’t interested in having children. To the LGBT community who’s been promised and then denied access to parenthood. To people who can’t conceive, for whom access to insemination is extremely hard. To singles who maybe miracoulously have a stable economical situation and are denied parenthood.

In case you were wondering how far the Baby boomers vs Millennials issue could go, here’s an example.

PJ Liguori: a [ graphic ] Summary

DEAR YOUNG BRITISH PEOPLE

The EU referendum is on the 23rd JUNE and here’s some scary stats the BBC decided to throw at me this morning: 

“just over a third of 18- to 24-year-olds intend to or are certain to vote, compared with well over two thirds of the over-75s” mix that with “those under the age of 35 are roughly twice as likely to vote to stay in as those over the age of 55″

DO YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS HEADING? No? Then let me spell it out for you, Hamilton style:

We are outgunned Outmanned Outnumbered Outplanned

We are gonna get ourselves kicked out of the EU if you don’t get your arse down to the polling station and VOTE for us to stay on the 23rd June.

So, here I am, doing my best to convince you to VOTE STAY.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

I get it. You’re apathetic. Politics is boring/corrupt/pointless, all the parties are the same, we’re screwed anyway etc etc. I FEEL YOU. Mate, do I feel you. But THIS referendum has NOTHING to do with political parties or alliances, even the muppets running this country are split. THIS is about the SINGLE QUESTION of if you want us to stay, or want us to leave.

And if you don’t vote for us to stay, then the older generation will most likely vote for us to leave. 

SO WHY ARE WE HAVING A REFERENDUM?

The EU has been going pretty great considering it was all one giant experiment, and it’s been swimming along mostly A-OK for years, but then… the Tories got desperate. Last election, they promised a referendum to get some of the right-wing *cough*UKIP*cough* votes, so now, here we are, having a vote about the EU even though, WE HAVE NO FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THE EU.

BUT WHAT HAS THE EU EVER DONE FOR US?

Being a member of the EU means you can hop across borders as you please: you can study abroad, live abroad, and go on holiday abroad within the EU with much less hassle than if we were outside it. 

But they are also responsible for a bunch of welfare laws that we take for granted: 

👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀👌👀 good shit go౦ԁ sHit👌 thats ✔ some good👌👌shit right👌👌there👌👌👌 right✔there ✔✔if i do ƽaү so my self 💯 i say so 💯 thats what im talking about right there right there (chorus: ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ) mMMMMᎷМ💯 👌👌 👌НO0ОଠOOOOOОଠଠOoooᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒ👌 👌👌 👌 💯 👌 👀 👀 👀 👌👌Good shit

But seriously here’s some other things that you might not have realised were thanks to the EU:

At the minute it’s a great symbiotic system where we have plenty of freedom but also, plenty of support. 

SO WHY DO PEOPLE WANNA BREXIT?

Because it sounds like a breakfast cereal and I’m guessing they’re hungry af. Admittedly, we have to pay a fee to be in the EU (but relatively, this is minimal) and it can also mean more “red tape”. But as far as I can tell these are all just very polite ways to say that the EU just have too much gosh darn ~power~ over us. URGH. First of all, this is not the British Empire, we’re allowed to have allies, and it’s a good thing that we have other nations keeping us in check. (And with the Tories destroying the country, you might find yourself hoping that the EU did have more power to keep us in check). Secondly, we’re already a special snowflake in the EU, and they grant us PLENTY of leeway, so it’s not as if they’ve got us by the tighty whiteys.

The Leave campaign are scapegoating refugees as to why we need to leave the EU which would be hilarious if I didn’t live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by white middle-class racist UKIP voters that are goddamn licking it up. (Cornwall. Don’t even.) They are using the recent “migrant crisis” to emphasise that as soon as someone becomes an EU member they can live anywhere in the EU, as in, all the EU countries that are nicer than we are and actually let people fleeing from their wartorn country stay, can therefore decide to move to the UK. But, yo, leaving the EU won’t stop immigration. And even more hilariously, our borders are actually more likely to be weaker if we leave the EU than stronger.

Putting aside the fact that apparently millions of people in our nation don’t give a fuck about refugees that are in part OUR GODDAMN FAULT and certainly if you’re a human being OUR GODDAMN CONCERN, the Leave campaign are apparently forgetting about OUR IMMIGRANTS. 

As in:

2.2m British nationals that, if we leave the EU, are suddenly dumped into muddy water. Oh yeah, Leave campaign, I really see you caring about them. 

I’ve honestly never seen such hypocrisy in my life. 

OH, AND IT’S ECONOMIC SUICIDE

The Leave campaign cannot produce a single independent study to show that economically we’d be better off leaving the EU.

jk it’s because we’re NOT.

Our economy is now so tied to the EU that it would be a fucking MESS if we left. It’s 57% of our trade. It’s 1 in 10 of our jobs. It could take us a decade just to untangle ourselves. And, lord knows, we’d never win Eurovision again.

TO SUMMARISE

On JUNE 23RD please vote to REMAIN IN THE EU. If you do nothing, it’s likely we’re gonna be outvoted by hypocritical racist UKIP-wankers and get our country in an even worse financial state.

The reason I am here BEGGING my 12 followers and 200 spambots to VOTE TO STAY is because the last time there was a referendum, I was a naive little undergrad, and I thought “this option is so obviously better, everyone’s going to vote for it” and HAHAHAHAHA DID THAT NOT HAPPEN. You may think you don’t need to vote, but YOU DO. 

Governments are only as smart as the people informing them.

We need to give our idiotic government as close to an actual representation of our country’s opinion. That means we need to get our turnout percentage up to AT LEAST two-thirds like the over 75s so that the result of the referendum is an actual reflection of opinion.

That doesn’t happen if you don’t vote. 

So please, check you are registered to vote RIGHT NOW. And on June 23rd, VOTE TO STAY.
