There are many protests happening in italy against the current fascist government but they are not much of interest for international media.

This is the third post i made today related to the wedding protests. I hope you people enjoy. I'm sharing these because many of the protesters behind it are getting arrested.

It is. Many are calling out the protesters for not being at work when they are protesting a bunch of celebrities partying all night long in the middle of the week...

Once this doesn't happen remember that god is not real and that destiny it's in your hands.

From https://www.greenpeace.org/international/press-release/75832/everyone-hates-elon-and-greenpeace-unfold-giant-banner-on-piazza-san-marco-ahead-of-bezos-wedding/

"A spokesperson from Everyone Hates Elon said: “As governments talk about hard choices and struggle to fund public services, Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down half a city for days on end just to get married. Just weeks ago he spent millions on an 11 minute space trip. If there was ever a sign billionaires like Bezos should pay wealth taxes, it’s this.”

Clara Thompson, Greenpeace campaigner, said: “While Venice is sinking under the weight of the climate crisis, billionaires are partying like there is no tomorrow on their mega yachts. This isn’t just about one person — it’s about changing the rules so no billionaire can dodge responsibility, anywhere. The real issue is a broken system that lets billionaires skip out on their fair share of taxes while everyone else is left to foot the bill. That’s why we need fair, inclusive tax rules, and they must be written at the UN.”

A tax on the super-rich would help to fund the necessary transition to a green and just future, fund affordable housing, cheaper public transport or home insulation. Greenpeace’s ship, the Arctic Sunrise, was anchored at the port of Venice last week-end to promote this transition and expose the damage the fossil fuel industry causes to the people and the planet."

I understand your feeling but keep in mind that many people live in Venice. Some of them are organizing against the event, it's not fair to wish for a natural disaster.
