Baptists and those radical chic living rooms stained with blood

by Alessandro Sallusti
Cesare Battisti, fugitive in Brazil and awaiting extradition, he is not just a multiple murderer who escaped from Italian prisons in 1981 with two life sentences under his belt.
Battisti is first and foremost the flag of the diehards of a monstrous season, that of the political terrorism that bloodied Italy in the seventies and eighties. Not just comrades in arms who - more or less - have somehow paid their dues with justice. Battisti - who was more of a criminal than a terrorist - is above all the flag of intellectuals, journalists and politicians nostalgic for that crazy revolutionary dream even though they all ended up well placed in democracies, in the boards of directors and in the living rooms that at the time they intended to demolish with words and bullets.

Roma, 14 Jan – He usually posts at least one or two posts a day from his Facebook page. Yesterday instead we witnessed the embarrassing silence from Roberto Saviano, not a word on the capture of Cesare Battisti. The reason why the writer decided not to comment on such important news is simple: In the 2004 signed an appeal by "intellectuals" who asked for the release of the red terrorist, at the time detained in France. To tell the truth, the “cosmopolitan bard” was in good company, among others, the then Green MP signed with him Paolo Cento, Christian Raimo and Vauro.

Roma, 10 gen – Roberto Burioni he succeeded in a miracle, which is no small thing, for a scientist like him: Beppe Grillo and Matteo Renzi reached an agreement. The two political leaders have in fact signed an alleged "pact to defend science" launched by the famous "blaster" doctor. Grillo's membership causes a sensation, as his movement has always openly flirted with any narrative other than the mainstream, often mixing serious topics and conspiracy paranoia. In addition to the political data (how will the Grillina base take this endorsement?), it is however interesting to develop a reasoning on the language of such “pact for science”, because in its few points it seems to replicate exactly those epistemological naiveties that have always made the discussion problematic, apparently common sense, carried out by Burioni (net of his personal, ostentatious and counterproductive antipathy).
The password of Planetary idiot to be recognized and admired is: we want bridges, later. As soon as he says the sentence, the Planetary Cretin lights up with incense, he believes he has said the Supreme Truth of Humanity, and a triumphant idiot smile appears on his face. There is no sermon, there is no institutional discourse, there is no article, pistol or public message, there is no musical concert, film or theater show that is not preceded, followed or filled by this obligatory phrase. The global imbecile feels with a clear conscience, and with a sense of moral superiority just by saying that sentence. The planetary idiot differs only in pronunciation, depending on whether he's a Neapolitan idiot, a South American bobo or Sicilian loompa. In Lombardy there is a precise expression to indicate those who stood at the borders to put themselves at the service of the new arrivals, for a reward: baucia.
