Yes, but the negative factor, in my opinion, is already in the attention given to these things. If before there were sporadic occurrences of this kind that captivated users' attention to the detriment of more valuable content, with this method, this dynamic will even be justified because in order to make them go away, people will need to comment on them. It’s a vicious cycle, in my opinion.

Well-known and rightly feared for its almost always deadly bite, the monocled cobra is present from Iran to East Asia, the Philippines, and the Sundra Islands. A large predator, it inhabits arid areas, forests, and wet environments, including rice paddies and swamps, even near human dwellings. It has an extremely variable coloring, ranging from brown to chestnut, from olive green to black, uniform or with lighter stripes. When irritated or feeling threatened, the monocled cobra raises its head and the front part of its body while simultaneously expanding the skin of its neck: this results in a prominent, flattened oval bulge, known as the "hood." Its common name derives from a mark located on the back of the "hood" that roughly resembles the outline of a pair of glasses. Generally mild in temperament, it does not attack unless severely disturbed. It mainly leads a nocturnal life and feeds on mice, birds, lizards, and eggs. The female lays 8-45 eggs in hollow trees or termite nests.

Fuck you

As for my personal take on Hamsun: "how many who supported Nazism and Fascism emerged unscathed?" I believe that even ten dense comments wouldn't be enough to list all the fascists and Nazis who got away with it. Moreover, among those who escaped, many later held prominent positions in various fields of administration and/or politics.

For me, the comparison between the parliamentary bourgeoisie and totalitarianism is a discussion that is irrelevant. That’s what I meant with my comment. What should be examined is their relationship with social exclusion (both psychological and physical). And if the socio-economic model from which both derive is not considered, every comparison seems, necessarily, sterile to me. In the end, even totalitarianism isn’t “honest,” because if it were, there wouldn’t have been extermination camps. I don’t believe that all the German people knew exactly what was happening in the concentration camps, for example?! And do you really think that the propaganda of a single permitted party is honesty?! Why do you suppose they didn’t publish the intentions of extermination on every NSDAP bulletin?! It’s a discourse that ignores the historical context to say that the inhumanity of totalitarianism is obvious. It’s clear to you, born in ’94 and knowing what happened, despite the mother of denialists always being pregnant. It’s also clear to me that nowadays thousands of people suffer every day from abuse and physical and psychological torture in every prison in Italy and around the world, but it’s not so evident to the so-called public opinion. Maybe in the future things will be a little different, who knows?! But I don’t see anything insidious in this society that wasn’t insidious during the times of great totalitarianism.

Probably the most important foreign novelist of my life. As for the review, I don't agree with some things. When it comes to the word "democracy," you should tread very carefully. If you want to say that parliamentary and bourgeois democracy is hypocrisy and a scam, we can agree on that. I emphasize this more to avoid dangerous misunderstandings than anything else. And then: "totalitarian regimes, in their being ruthless, brutal, and inhumane, maintain a trace of loyalty, explicitly declaring who the subjects to be physically eliminated are;" WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SENTENCE?!?! LOYALTY?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! IN SELLING AN ENTIRE PEOPLE TO THE BARBARIC NAZI WHERE ON EARTH DO YOU FIND LOYALTY?!
I absolutely do not defend Hamsun for what he supported! Not at all! I am among those who say that Gentile deserved the miserable end he came to. (Canfora's book on the subject is very interesting). Just think about Hamsun. We can certainly say that it’s cowardly to declare him insane, etc... etc... it’s really the stuff of Nordic social democracy as revenge, but to say he is "clean" is a whole different story. My vote for Hamsun is for what he represents in my eyes as a writer.

Hooray for free debasio

Wonderful two!

Very interesting! Congratulations!

"Dedicated to all the embarrassing data lost from all the dead hard drives in the world, wherever they may have gone" Amen! Although as far as I'm concerned, the variant "wherever the hard drive itself has gone" is worth more.
