Why you have to die, and also in silence. It takes little courage to attack the restaurateur who just wants to survive
This evening, while I wanted to enjoy 5 minutes of relaxation after a day of study, I made a mistake: I turned on the television and turned, at 9.06, on channel 5, to see Striscia la Notizia. Instead of a nice service of irony, or a fierce political satire, I found myself in front of the demonstration of the worst McCarthyist and moralistic television of recent times.
Given that one must always point the finger at the "Bad" especially when he is defenseless and in helpless difficulty (Brumotti who goes hunting for drug dealers only sees one), a Striscia la Notizia correspondent had a wonderful idea: to send an infiltrator in one of the groups that advertise the few restaurants that dare to open up and stigmatize them as the "Bad Guys" on duty.
Once similar methods were used with other categories: American Communists were hunted down for being traitors, regardless and destroyers of the American dream. FBI agents infiltrated to nail intellectuals, students, actors, writers who had adherence to that area, without investigating whether they were right or wrong. Similarly, with much less courage, we have infiltrated to show that, scandal among scandals, some restaurant does not want to die in silence, but decides to resist. If anything, the only slightest fault is to want to do it in a hidden way, but no one is a hero.
Those who have little courage, and very little human understanding, are precisely these envoys. I wonder how they would behave if they were forced not to work for a year, with a dependent family and with only some kind of alms as compensation. Wouldn't they try to work the same? Wouldn't they try to save what they've worked all their lives for, or would they be so cowardly that they lay down on the ground and let themselves die?
Given the courage shown by our televisions, by our journalists, I think they would follow the second path. After all, it is typical of television to be strong with the weak and weak with the strong. I would like to see them bomb, as others have done, the ministers responsible for non-repayments with the same aggressiveness with which they attacked these restaurateurs. But those who are born wrong cannot grow straight, and, as the good Don Abbondio said, "One if the courage does not have it, one cannot give it", but if you do not have the courage to go to the powerful, at least do not go to oppress who suffers. It does you no honor.
