Stop treating animals like humans! (and anyone who does is a misfit)
by

How many times, scrolling through the screens of social, or listening to the speeches of enthusiastic owners of dogs or other pets, you have read or heard the sentences spoken: «animals are better than humans», «The more I know men, the more I love animals»? These comments are often expressed by people embittered by human relationships, who after a lifetime of disappointments end up seeing the ideal interlocutor in a little animal. After all, who better than a being without the gift of speech - and therefore incapable of cross-examination - can lend itself to alleviating a social handicap? The pet is one total creaturemind dependent on human care, engulfed in the master's emotional sphere to the point of constituting a relationship free of jealousy and anxiety about betrayal. The owner tends to pour out the projections and frustrations of his own existence onto the animal, transforming him into his own alter ego, attributing feelings to him, thoughts, human morality. They are dedicated to him expensive and excessive attention, an insult to people who cannot afford even a fraction of the comforts reserved for these beasts. Often these attitudes are hysterically claimed through the use of social, showing the usual pathological disconnect from the reality to which we are now accustomed. Read More

Review
Of Gabriele Minotti
Solfanelli Editions, in March of 2017, have published the work by Danilo Fabbroni entitled “Il Sessantotto. Magic, poisons and Spa spells”.
As can easily be understood from the title, This book deals with a topic that is both well known in its external signs and little known in its most hidden and unexplored aspects.: we are talking about 1968, that is, that movement of protest and socio-cultural revolution that took hold at the end of the 1960s. The year was running 1968, to be precise.
What else could you say or write about 1968 that hasn't already been said or written by someone else? Most people are convinced that they know everything about the issue: Sixty-eight was nothing other than the reaction - albeit a little excessive in some ways - of the youth of the time to social bigotry, to the oppression exercised against them by hypocritical moralism and bourgeois conventions: all in all, it was a phenomenon that made Western societies freer and more emancipated, even better.
This is the opinion of most. But this is the truth? Read More

Blessed/cursed identity. Altro che "fine della storia"…
by

Of Marcello Veneziani
Source: Marcello Veneziani
What is the secret of the events that are changing the world, the engine that drives Putin and Trump, Bolsonaro and Le Pen, Ab and Modi, Orban e Kaczynski, Erdogan and Duterte, Brexit and the European populist and nationalist wave, up to Salvini? It is Identity. Ancient word with a new meaning; it comes from philosophy and the principle of identity, it comes from history and culture, designates peoples, indicates the personal identification document. Identity, sometimes intensified by an adjective: national.
An intellectual who is half political scientist and half philosopher dedicates an essay and a dry title to Identity, half Japanese and half American, the famous Francis Fukuyama. Yes, the one who stirred the intellectual world thirty years ago with his essay on The End of History. Then he predicted the triumph of the liberal-democratic order and the American model. Long disputed and even derided, Fukuyama imposed himself on the world debate. This is what happens now with his latest book, in Italy subtitled The search for dignity and new populisms (User). Fukuyama is not a particularly sharp thinker, original and profound, but he photographs the state of things today like few others, offers a global vision of the present. Panoramic photo, from the point of view of ideas in action. Fukuyama seeks a third way beyond the national-populist right and the politically correct left which has stopped representing "the white working class" and defends minorities and elites. For him, identity is a threatening animal to be tamed in a liberal sense, democratic, humanitarian. This is what he thinks of the nation which he wants to remove from nationalism and neutralize within a framework of rules and perspectives in line with globalisation. Read More

Macron and the Malice that exchanges Anti-Zionism with Anti-Semitism
by


Of Jonathan Cook
Source: Comedonchisciotte
To what extent the international community's approach towards Israel has reversed over the last half century, it can be measured simply by looking at the fate of a single word: Zionism. In the 1975 to the United Nations General Assembly, much of the world turned against the United States and Europe by declaring that Zionism, the ideology behind Israel, “It is a form of racism and racial discrimination”.
Westerners were generally shocked. Zionism, that they had told him up to that point, it was a liberation movement that needed the Jewish people to free themselves, after centuries of oppression and massacres suffered. With his creation, of Israel, they had simply made up for the terrible wrongs they had suffered which culminated in the horrors of the Holocaust. But Zionism looked very different in the eyes of those countries that, all over the world, they had lived through centuries of European colonialism and then, more recently, of US imperialism. The long history of crimes against Jews that led to the creation of Israel took place primarily in Europe. Read More

"Fanc..o la patria". Anarchists deface the war memorial in Messina
by

 
Messina, 22 Feb – Yet another insult to the memory of those who shed their blood in war. It happened to Messina, where the monument to fallen of the Masotto Battery has been daubed with a writing that is shameful to say the least: “Fuck the Homeland”.
As reported by Southern Gazette, they would have been the anarchists the authors of the infamous defacement on the sculptural group dating back to the end of the nineteenth century. The group would have acted at night, as usual, in view of the imminent commemoration of the Battle of Adwa, scheduled like every year on March 1st. The reaction of mayor of Messina Cateno De Luca it didn't take long to wait: “Ofsulting the memory of the heroes who lost their lives to allow you to be born and blaspheming denotes that you are ungrateful and without a shred of humanity”. The mayor specified that there will be immediate intervention by the municipal company Messina Servizi to erase the graffiti.

The death knell for the European Union is ringing
by

Let's also mark today's date among those that made history. The signing of the Treaty of Aachen between France and Germany opens an unprecedented chapter. Sworn enemies since the time of Charlemagne, with the peak of the rivalry in the two world wars, France and Germany strengthen their alliance. The new treaty strengthens that of the Elysée signed on 22 January 1963 - Exactly 56 years ago – by then Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and French President Charles De Gaulle. There is no point in trying to decide whether the agreement is more to the advantage of Macron or Merkel. The treaty remains historic for many reasons.

Admiral
by
by Francy Rossini
It is not easy to write about Giorgio Almirante for those who knew and frequented him, politically and humanly, or the undersigned (between from positions close to those of Beppe Niccolai from 1984 circa). The internal protest against the Almirante line still focuses on a couple of firm principles, which in theory could have some validity and which deserve to be analyzed here: that is to say Atlantist admiral, therefore he could not be neo-fascist, Therefore Almirante was not a neo-fascist because fascism was social, Almirantism was instead the spare tire of the DC.

It should first of all be specified that Almirante was a politician, he was neither a political theorist nor an ideologue, and even before he was a son of the fascist regime or of the RSI, he was a child of the Italian civil war and of Piazzale Loreto, he was the son of a specific historical era in which "partisans" with the British flag had free reign for a certain time to exercise their worst spirit of revenge and hatred on other Italians by imposing the logic of extermination. If you don't understand this, or you don't want to understand this, it is not possible to understand all of Almirant's subsequent political tactics.

A monk against hyenas
by


The Christian civilization of very Christian Spain is today in the solitary hands of a Benedictine monk of 46 years, Santiago Cantera, prior of the Santa Cruz Abbey, where Francisco Franco is buried. The monk defends in solitude the Christian burial of the Generalissimo from the lugubrious decision of the left-wing Iberian government to exhume Franco's corpse in 44 years after his death and chase him from his grave. Father Cantera denies authorization to the Spanish state to enter the chapel, desecrate the tomb and push Franco's remains elsewhere. The global left, and our local one, cheers for the macabre twist that the courageous prior calls "satanic". The socialists of Padro Sanchez and the Minister of Justice Dolores Delgado (signatory of the measure), they came to government without popular legitimacy, in the minority, after the crisis that overwhelmed the moderate popular government Mariano Raioj.

The Super Cup in Arabia is crap? Our business with the Saudi regime even more so
Welcome to the hypocrisy fair: we are outraged by the racist howling at Koulibaly, then we play matches in the realm of female discrimination. We are scandalized because business prevails over rights, but our hunger for petrodollars never ends. And it doesn't start with the ball
