Carlo Verdone, the politically correct and the cheaters
Because we must be grateful to Carlo Verdone. Riccardo Ruggeri's Cameo
We ordinary citizens without particular excellences, but also without particular negativity, apòti, members of the mythical "silent majority" we must be grateful to Carlo Verdone. His summary “Ebbasta what I'm politically correct. Enough, we have the balls full, no more … It's becoming 'na pathology ”.
He is right, following this trend will not make people laugh, that is, he will no longer be able to do his job. Exactly what I have been experiencing for many years, since I decided to do "journalism", one of the most difficult jobs, if done with absolute intellectual honesty. I decided that I would write about the Camei (a kind of syndacated columnist and author de noaltri) according to my personal (moderate) editorial line, banally liberal and Catholic. I place them on my banquet-blog available to those who want to publish them with only two conditions: no compensation for me, no chance for you to intervene on the text. Anyone who comes to the banquet, regardless of his editorial political line, I authorize publication. Liberal democracy in purity.
Since the arrival of this double-faced Premier, and his court, the politically correct is conditioning me in an unacceptable way. Two examples. From the first critical day, the Premier, I did it when he was politically devoted to the 5S and the Northern League (then I received applause), I do it now that he is devoted to the dem and the 5S (curious, I receive insults instead). Because? The Premier is still the same, a member of the Deep State, politically inept and vain, like those who supported him before and those who support him now. I wonder: how can an unknown lawyer, with a nonexistent curriculum, chosen by one with an even more non-existent curriculum, design and execute a 200 billion euro plan that can save or definitively destroy a sick country?
With the arrival of the " Virus " the thing got even worse. The message is being conveyed that anyone who disagrees, on any subject, with the current demo-grilline elite, is a "denier". This is a fascist vulgarity, because this term is exclusively and irreversibly linked to the holocaust of the Jews, and whoever uses it improperly is a dishonest intellectual.
I quote an episode from these days after Silvio Berlusconi, his children and friends tested "positive". There is no doubt that if the ignoble term "denier" is used for them, both Nicola Zingaretti and important mayors dem and ras of the media must be defined as such. We all remember, a few months ago, when it was politically correct to minimize the impact of the "Virus", when they called "racists" to those who wanted to quarantine the Chinese returning from Wuhan. To reinforce the message they let themselves be filmed while they ate spring rolls, caressed Chinese children, toasted on the Navigli, because "Milan never stops!"
Do we realize the human degradation into which the politically correct of the exalted few is leading us? Because if you do not accept the whims of them you must be branded as a "racist" or as a "denier". Why tertium (apòta) non datur? How can a big media player define Nicola Zingaretti as a "semi-denier" (as a counterpart there will be the "semi-racist?") While Dr. Silvio remains instead a "denier with a denial outbreak in tow"? But that's not enough, the final blow was terrible for Dr. Silvio: with the hospitalization for Covid-19 he also became a "cheater".
Do we realize where this approach is leading us? If Dr. Silvio is a denier, his political or economic opponents are (or have been), if he is a cheater, he is just like those who operate in business and high politics. Following this scheme, one cannot be great entrepreneurs, or important CEOs, or super politicians, and the like, without having been or being “cheaters”, in the meaning of Treccani (“crook, rogue, swindler, charlatan”). Moreover, the stories, all documented, of the great families of entrepreneurship and power, of the mega CEOs, of the super politicians of the right, center, left, and of how they created their wealth and their power are known. All the scent of cheating. By insulting Dr. Silvio, do they not realize that they are insulting themselves?
Where does their cultural-linguistic approach lead us? To the obvious conclusions of every decent person: "You are all the same, deniers or racists when it suits you, always cheaters". Politically correct as a multiplier of an idiotic conformism? Take a piece of advice, dear friends: settle down, you are hurting yourself.
