Woman Calls Out Grocery Store After Finding Hitler Mugs And Wine Bottles For Sale

Woman Calls Out Grocery Store After Finding Hitler Mugs And Wine Bottles For Sale

Angela Thompson, an French Tutor from Harrogate, England, found a most disturbing set of products being sold during her vacation in Italy.

The coffee mugs bearing Adolf Hitler's likeness and Nazi symbolism were found for sale at a small supermarket in Venice.


The harms that Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party did to the world shouldn't be unfamiliar to anyone, but that evidently doesn't matter to some shopkeepers as long as the products sell well.

The supermarket, run by one Stefano Nopetti also sells wine bottles bearing the likenesses of Hitler and Mussolini. When asked about why he carries the products, Nopetti told la Repubblica:

"It's just business. I don't understand who is indignant and I'm against false morality. I vote M5S, I'm neither fascist nor Nazi. But if people buy them - and these bottles they they buy so many - I keep selling them."

He further defended himself, saying:

"I know that Nazism was evil, I also tell my daughter. But for me this is a business."

Thompson shared her horror at the find by sharing an image on Twitter.

Unfortunately, several far-right trolls took this as an invitation to hijack the thread and praise the store owner for selling the items.

Not everyone was there to troll, though.




It seems these aren't new products.

Still, there were some pretty strong feelings about whether or not these products belonged on the shelves.

Italy is no stranger to the disastrous effects of a fascist government, but seems to have begun straying in that direction again.

Just last month, authorities found a cache of weapons during a raid on a far-right cell. Included in that weapons cache was an 11-foot air-to-air missile, rocket launchers, and a plethora of neo-Nazi propaganda.

One group of extremists certainly isn't representative of the whole country. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini's xenophobic rhetoric and unapologetic racism might be working to change that, though.

When a major public figure and member of government is willing to use racial slurs on Twitter, the people who share those sentiments see that it is safe to voice them in public. This can quickly lead to an environment that is even less safe for oppressed populations.

History has proven time and time again that fascism isn't good for anyone except whoever is at the top. The fact that people still idolize the fascist leaders of the past and support fascist policies in modern governments simply boggles the mind.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
