There’s so much hate in those replies I don’t fully get it. It’s not like Columbus was American. Why are they so upset? They sound like someone just spat in their face. I get chuds having a reaction like this to insulting Washington or one of their other favorite slavers but I didn’t think fucking Columbus was this important to them. I might be overthinking this.
Columbus is basically Jesus to Amerikkkan “Italians”
He discovered America, that’s what he did. He was a brave Italian explorer. And in this Lemmy instance, Christopher Columbus is a hero. End of story.
Capiche?
Gabagoo
There was whole sopranos episode over columbus day
And as always, the writers making fun of people who support columbus (dumbshit american italians vs. native italians like furio who hate columbus and northern italy) goes over chuds heads.
The Sopranos is the Simpsons but with deadbeat italian-american men, I don’t get how people see it as a crime drama or some anti-woke manosphere crap.

Lol yeah.
it’s a reaction to people broadly coming to realize that columbus was a disgusting genocidaire even by the standards of his own time, who rightly deserves to be reviled
so now chuds love him because it triggers the libs
I don’t think most chuds know anything about Columbus besides “he discovered America” (which he didn’t, indigenous people had been there for millennia).
Wasn’t even the first cracker to do it either.
Where’s the gabbagool?!
He should just double down and go with the Lori Lightfoot approach. That’s the best way to handle obnoxious Italian-Americans.
For anyone wondering:

spoiler
In July 2020, Lightfoot directed that a statue of Christopher Columbus be removed from Grant Park. After the murder of George Floyd, protesters had attempted to knock over the statue and had engaged in a violent confrontation with police.
In March 2022, attorney George Smyrniotis sued Lightfoot for defamation. The lawsuit claimed that Italian-Americans were unhappy with the removal of the Columbus statue, and that a tentative deal had been struck to assuage their concerns by allowing the statue to be displayed in an annual Columbus Day parade. According to Smyrniotis, Lightfoot—angry over the proposal regarding the display of the statue—suggested during a Zoom call that she would revoke the parade permit if the statue were to be displayed. Smyrniotis added that Lightfoot had questioned his competence, berated him and others with obscenities, and asserted that she had “‘the biggest d*** in Chicago’”. For her part, Lightfoot contended that the lawsuit’s “‘deeply offensive and ridiculous claims’” were “‘wholly lacking in merit’”.
fucking legend lmao
Her and her massive dick sound awesome
My one and only compromise with Italians on this is that they can have a statue of Columbo instead, that’s it
What if we make it a statue of St. Columba, that way we make the Irish happy too.
This prison of steel cannot hold Columbo for very long
Just repurpose the sign into something useful.
