    Same sources will be constantly “handing it” to fascists and excusing their crimes because ‘they made the trains run on time’ (for a few years before war and destruction engulfed their countries)

      fascists and excusing their crimes because ‘they made the trains run on time’

      The dumbest part of that is that Mussolini’s policies “made the trains run on time” by placing enormous pressures on the rail workers and eschewing maintenance and safe operating procedures, causing some marginal increase in normal punctuality at the cost of massively increasing deadly accidents and shutdowns from trains derailing.
