Why

Of Caterina Giojell

Didn't read up yesterday Republic the appeal of the twelve finalists of the Strega Prize who ask for the order to close the ports to be immediately revoked, «but it's as if I had done it, these kinds of appeals are all the same and extremely predictable". Only the day before Luca Ricolfi, sociologist, professor of Data Analysis at the University of Turin and scientific director of David Hume Foundation, on the basis of the Ipsos survey which gave the 71 percent of Italians in favor of Salvini's hard line - «not just the voters who vote for the right or Five Star, but also a third of the voters of the Democratic Party" -, he had signed a letter to the illuminati on Messenger: «Dear progressive politicians, dear committed intellectuals, dear enlightened manager, dear prelates, writers, singers, professor, television hosts, journalists who every day practice heartfelt appeals to cultivate a sense of humanity, have you ever wondered why so many Italians don't think like you?».
On the other hand, he tells tempi.it, «I listened (what are youtube) the thought of one of these witch prizes, that a few days ago, when the Aquarius had not yet arrived in Valencia, he confessed: "I myself, I have to say, con realpolitik, which I was also ashamed of, I thought yesterday, I wished someone would die on the Aquarius ship. I said: and now, if a child dies, I want to see what happens to our government". There's no need to even specify who, in particular, made such a miserable reasoning why, judging by the non-reactions of the progressive world (and indeed from the official defenses of his words, that would have been "taken out of context") one might think that what escaped a single intellectual was the afterthought of many. An afterthought that is not only a sign of lack of humanity but also of little interest in the common good. I find the attitude of those who harbor within themselves such great hatred and contempt for their political adversary as profoundly barbaric that they wish for anything that could harm the enemy.: today that a child dies, tomorrow the spread will rise and Italy will go under. And look, I don't love this government at all, and the only explicit public position I took before the vote was against the League and the Five Star Movement, because I believed them (and I believe them) a danger for the Italian economy. But this doesn't lead me to hope that they will sink the country, on the contrary, I hope they are able to prove me wrong". Read More
