rebelde

Even though you're addressing Stoney, I'll share my opinion: I absolutely agree, Berlusconi is certainly not responsible for all the evils of this country; on the other hand, it seems to me that no one has suggested otherwise; it would be even too naive. And here I must defend Travaglio, because I keep repeating that anyone who insists that he only and exclusively attacks Berlusconi is mistaken, they are poorly informed, and I'm tired of repeating it. As for Di Pietro's situation: honestly, I don't know what skeletons he has in his closet, apart from this recent story about his son who "suggests" names over the phone, and his wife as a party leader; actually, if you want to give me some pointers regarding this, I would be curious, I'm not kidding. However, I've noticed one thing: recently, news programs and various in-depth shows from Mediaset have been going wild in their attacks against Di Pietro, his party, and his son, launching accusations that are completely unfounded, and even if they were founded, they are absolutely devoid of documentation, aimed solely at defaming a figure who is becoming increasingly inconvenient, in order to tarnish his name and diminish his credibility. And I, who see darkness everywhere, have no trouble imagining a team of lawyers, detectives, and whatever else, all on the boss's payroll, diligently sifting through Di Pietro's life to find something truly serious to blow up. I repeat, if this serious and substantiated something has already exploded and I haven't noticed, give me a hint.

The thing I really don't understand, and what scares me, is the following: how can a person of such culture, and with such life experiences, harbor ideas so imbued with hate and violence, especially at a venerable age, when it is presumed a person should reach a certain degree of wisdom, composure, and balance? I have the fortune of having traveled enough, especially in the Middle Eastern regions; I have seen those people, I have talked to them. I certainly didn't meet Arafat, and I didn't interview heads of state, but I truly can't grasp the reasons behind such hatred, this deliberate renunciation of understanding, compassion, and humanity. Perhaps I am naive, perhaps I am mistaken; but how can one be in the right calling for wars, violence, and death?

Since I am bitter, I would like to emphasize the complete lack of a coherent logical thread in comment number 217.

dear_, I read your comments with a hint of bitterness, steeped in superficiality, ignorance, and half-truths; I should add that I just came back from a night out with some beers with friends, so my (supposed) diplomacy is lacking; therefore, dear_, I tell you: if anyone is making a fool of themselves, it’s you; educate yourself. For me, this discussion with you is closed.

Dear _, it depends on what you mean by "balanced". I have been following Travaglio and what he says weekly for a long time, so I believe I can approach the subject with a certain level of understanding. And I will tell you honestly that he has often informed me about many issues, which I then deepened, regarding the various troubles caused by members of the current PD and their entourage, or, I suppose, those 180 degrees that Travaglio, in your opinion, would hold so dearly. Of course, on the other side, there is the King of Mishaps; he has really caused a lot, which is why he is often talked about; and again, if the percentage of PDL parliamentarians with charges, trials, or even convictions is higher than that of others (which also exist, of course), then it is right to highlight this fact. In short, to sum it up, I agree with you: I am right. From this point of view, Travaglio is impartial, but rather than impartial, I would say objective. And you, dear _, are nothing but one of the many victims of the smear campaign against him; a campaign that is not even that subtle, in fact: it employs the tool that Le Chavalier, a man of scant culture and mediocre intelligence, is most familiar with, which is branding people as 'communists'. Is Travaglio a dissenting voice? Let's label him a communist! It doesn't matter that he is notoriously a man of the right; people will still swallow it. With respect.

"Those regarding the judgments filed agree with me that they shouldn't be part of politics, but all politics at 360 degrees, not like Travaglio who does it at 180." ---> nonsense, a result of ignorance about the subject at hand: Travaglio indeed denounces at 360 degrees; you know how it is, he's anything but a communist...

some figures for this useless yet unfounded squabble over the issue of "programs funded by taxpayer money": a single episode of Annozero costs about 200,000 euros. an episode of Porta a Porta costs around 50,000 euros, but it airs four times a week, so the total amount is more or less the same, but for a completely unnecessary program (think of the dozens of in-depth analyses on the same topics, like the Cogne murder, the Garlasco murder, the Perugia case, and so on…); but now comes the kicker: X Factor costs just under 10 million euros of our precious taxpayer money; Sanremo, the beloved Italian song festival that we all follow with interest, also costs over 10 million euros (I don’t know the exact figure for this edition, but in previous years it cost 8 and 13 million; I assume it won’t change much this year)… just out of curiosity, draw your own conclusions.

truly a great movie; I agree with you on the spot-on choice of animation, which is also of excellent quality; and also the structure, a story told through clear memories, vague recollections, and dreams, ultimately allows the truth to explode before Ari’s eyes, and ours. the last images are not cartoons, but real images, shots, and photographs: and this shift highlights their dramatic nature. however, I didn’t like the review overall: it seems to address some points a bit superficially, and at times appears somewhat careless..

But does katarsis do it on purpose or does he really believe in what he writes?
