It's done: the German government is implementing the exit from the euro. “Stealthy” exit, like the definition François Asselineau, economist, senior ECB official, President of the Republican Popular Union. Not only that: they decided to take action after the Italian elections, and against “sovereignist” Italy. In fact, the idea has been around for months in Germany, and the "economists from...

I happened to listen to a speech by Maurizio Molinari on Radio Radicale, the neocon director of La Stampa, on the "revolt of the middle class" which has become anti-European and votes for the "sovereignists". Apodictic as usual, Molinari declared that "sovereignism" is "a version of nationalism", but less beautiful than the nineteenth-century one: that expressed a “will to unite”, to “add”, This …

Even the physicist Carlo Rovelli wanted to align himself with the Permanent Theme: attack patriotism because it turns into nationalist poison, Nazi and racist, and sing praises to humanity without borders. He wrote a long article yesterday in Corriere della Sera entitled "The only nation is humanity".
But why do we have to translate love of country with its violent and racist degeneration, it is not possible to love and protect your own nation, their civilization without degrading into xenophobia and racism? When we talk about religion, perhaps we reduce it to fanaticism and religious persecution? When we talk about family, of paternal love, maternal branch, we must necessarily reduce it to the abuses and abuses sometimes committed in its name? And changing sides, because when we talk about equality we don't immediately associate it with the memory of the Jacobin Terror or the horrors of communism in all its regimes? Or when we talk about freedom we perhaps reduce it to the abuses of freedom that lead to violence, to drugs, to oppression and arbitrariness?
The patriotic love, the natural and cultural bond with one's nation and its traditions, it is a fundamental need of the human soul and belongs to every era and every civilization. There are various ways of understanding that bond. Today, the most coherent way is not to close oneself in armed tribes against each other, but integrate nations into broader contexts, like Europe, and recognize mutual legitimacy and value of nations, yours like mine. But you can love humanity starting from your own city, from their own land, from your country. Feel solidarity starting from those who are closest to those who are further away. Read More

But don't be ashamed to accuse the government in office and Salvini in particular, Of divide up the appointments as you have practiced all your life? Don't be ashamed – you leftists, you left-wing intellectual clergy, you left-wing newspapers and news, you seasoned Rai trade unionists and you more hypocritical and pompous right-thinking crypto-leftists – to cry scandal and be indignant just because the Grillini and the Northern League members, in modo naive, they follow the ways of subdivision that you have been practicing with servile professionalism for decades? On the contrary, in Renzi's time we even had to regret the usual division, because he took everything, on Rai and beyond. This time the rock of the scandal was Marcello Foa, came from the Giornale di Montanelli and then remained at the Giornale di Feltri until he moved to the Canton of Ticino to teach communication science and manage a Ticino publishing group. Never been involved in politics, no blemish on his criminal record or reputation, no suspicious connection. Nothing scandalous. But for the valiant Italian Information Collective plus Pd, starting with the Corazzata Repubblika, Foa says he is a student of Montanelli (a boaster, so), teaches manipulation of news i.e. fake news and not communication science, he is even a guest on Russia Today and therefore is a hired servant in Putin's service, he even retweeted something by one Francesca Totolo, “patriot financed by Casa Pound” (which notoriously has billions, other than poor Renzi with his little paper plane, at our expense, which cost a few hundred million).

Calling the pro-child advert of the baby products company "fascist" shows that the sense of limits has been lost. And about being parents
Proof of how much advertising is the true Collective Intellectual of the consumer society, lo Chicco television commercial which invites us to do so by taking advantage of the absence of the Azzurri at the World Cup, returning to give birth with gusto in an Italy that procreates little, has sparked outrage on the perpetually menstruating web, as if it were an institutional message promoted by the new populist and sovereignist government. "Alarms, they are fascists": even the copywriters of the pram and baby articles company? Yes, according to those who spilled the beans on social networks, which then are i beam-all-seeing, those who he sees people bandage everywhere – next time, what do we know, it could happen to Nutella (too dark, almost black), or to agricultural trade associations that invite you to buy Italian (autarky, autarky!) or to anyone who should ever recall in non-defamatory terms works such as the reclamation of the Agro Pontino (oh no, Antonio Pennacchi has already done it, hard and pure communist, with its – beautiful – “Mussolini Canal”).
