I almost forgot: once, right and left were not the same thing. Now they are: they are all former Christian Democrats.

@Reg: regular, left and right are not the same thing; there are centuries of history characterizing the two: what do we do, flush them down the toilet? And what have we lived for? What did our fathers fight for? The labor movements? The class struggles? You can be a bunch of fascists, but at least be something for the misery...---> On being something, you are right: otherwise, it all degenerates and we don't move forward. But let's stop acting like children and bickering because "I'm right-wing" and "I'm left-wing" as if on one side there are the bad guys and on the other all the good and angelic ones. Once we have established a political identity, let's respect it mutually, right? For me, someone can even be a Nazi, the important thing is that they tell me the reasons why they are (and we always come back to your point about being something). The real problem is that the politicians are always the same: the same old faces. If they were all as sharp as Cossiga or the late Almirante, then bring them on. But these clowns we have right now, no.

I forgot to mention that Berlusconi is ugly, dirty, and mean, right? How much would you have liked it if I had written that, huh? And if I had said that Pannella is god: ooh, how many applause! Then standing ovation if I had said that there are no mobsters or junkies on the left!

The pigs were as much the Nazis of the concentration camps as the communists of the foibe: so we should all just shut up. Well... Once politics was about belief, now it's just a status symbol, like choosing between a pair of Manolo Blahniks and a pair of Gucci shoes; practically, a party membership card is just an accessory. The ideologies, the right, the left: everyone taking sides, everyone who "must revolutionize," everyone who must "preserve institutions," but in the end, we live in a system that dictates every action you take, decides even how much money you’ll spend during your lunch break, regardless of whether it’s a right-wing or left-wing system. Those who believe in factions and not in individual men make me laugh. Those who still think that all the bad guys are on the right and all the good ones on the left make me laugh. Those who go to vote and choose the “lesser evil” instead of not voting at all make me laugh: so those who consider voting a "tool of democracy and power of the people" make me laugh; bah, they still haven't understood that the gentlemen we send to the chairs of government and the senate are busy playing games among themselves, let alone right and left: the times of proletariat revolution or the march on Rome are over; now it’s all about the general grab, no one believes in certain things anymore, the important thing is to secure a salary as a deputy, senator, or minister. In all other countries in the world, they’ve figured it out; only in Italy do we keep indulging in the story of the "fascists" and "communists," and meanwhile, in the spirit of "screw meritocracy," jobs are going more and more to the dogs and pigs and less and less to the people who truly deserve them and bust their ass from morning to night, both in universities, which have become cultural dives that even those with an IQ lower than two can get into, and in factories. And this is true whether the right is in power or the left. Now tell me that I’m right-wing and then I’ll really get pissed off…

RegularJoan: sorry if I misunderstood you... it's just that I can't stand seeing kids on the street acting like gangsters, and then seeing online and on TV, guys who pretend to be artists adopting names that glorify murderers... the worst part is that these guys are the ones who follow them as they grow up; of course, it's obvious that the blame lies with society and the parents who don't know how to raise these brats, but it all starts from here...

About the trash of us Italians: we are idiots, because we who have our own culture and history do nothing but throw it down the drain to borrow the myths and ways of Americans, simply out of an inferiority complex.

Sure, he's proud of it... He's a lunatic like many others, but this is regardless of whether he goes by the name Ted Bundy or Vittorio Bachelet... We really have to cling to the name, come on.

my talk was about clichés: I wasn't referring to you in the first person

Guys, are you still surprised by the hip hop subculture? Have you seen their videos and read their lyrics? And I’ll add: misogynistic bastards! And you give yourself a 5?
Name: bjork68 | Date: 21/2/2007 | Rating: 3 | Album Rating: —---> Well, let's not generalize...

A word on Ted Bundy: all this moralism towards the criminal seems to me a bit cliché... How many listen to Marilyn Manson and know very well that his stage name is inspired by that unfortunate head Charles Manson? How many listen to Queen and know full well that Mercury was also sort of a pedophile, but no one has any problems with that? And now we’re falling apart because these guys were inspired by Theodor Bundy? Please... Enough with these clichés, come on! You sound like those who go to recite psalms in church every Sunday and then it turns out they have subscriptions to Playboy and Penthouse... Stop it.

but I found that soul!
