Then there were sponsorships. He was not politically correct, and the African children were shamelessly referred to as "little black". My teacher - very Catholic and fascist - was determined to take up the foil so the chocolates because they helped the poor priests of the missions (and I've never understood why). Who carry out their apostolate in desperate lands and godless, and to which they had offered to send food and clothes. I had always breathed secularism: Yeah I was surprised that the apostolate also meant to force kids into socks, boots and clothes like those brats of the cartoons of Novello.
But most seemed to me an abuse of that all those deals, that help was "conditioned" to the conversion of small savages, who instead had deities (in my opinion at least) enviable picturesque and much more forgiving and much more pleasant rituals of our own. Then growing up, facing the disintegration of the myth of development cooperation, I wondered if it was better to donate my meager 8 per thousand to caritas, missionaries, religious organizations. I kept the same approach to "lay" (now more mature and motivated) I had as a child. A refusal to exercise more or less abusive, more or less smooth, more or less aware of proselytism, the imposition of beliefs, models, customs, rituals, myths, cultures, and even ideals and visions and expectations.
saves me the light: When did political activist and there was always someone who requested to note the work of persuasion and "conversion" could not not think about the cartoons of Guareschi and "counter-mates." One I found just irresistible. You could see the brave "trinariciuti" take a hammer as their wives combed Tordella and under the caption read: counter-mates, there was an error, to find new members need to beat the "campaign" not the "friend" ..
Convert to our cultural and political models and religious subjects "others" is an activity that the dominant culture so zealously interpreted by the right government has borrowed from the church and in agreement with you exercise diligently. So we export democracy (as if we had more than enough!) And our internal states to impose the dangerous tilt means more or less persuasive ways of our supposed "freedom".
Mrs. Santanchè has heard the call to "liberate" Muslim women from their odious symbols of slavery and did so by invading their place of worship in the days dedicated to prayer and atonement. Among the Holy Inquisition and "Mission" the sacred apostolate the lady is frankly ridiculous played: Who has not imagined, and enjoyed for adverse outcomes of blows on the precarious accretions of cosmetic surgery and the risks of an ignominious fall from tottering heels 12 cm.?
Too bad there is not much to laugh. We have allowed you to think that the issue of xenophobia and the rights of foreigners were an innocent obsession with minority or radical intellectuals. We (thanks also part of what remained of the left) just the fascination of the primacy of "security" rather than address the issue of immigration as a test of our civilization and our democracy.
The national crackdown, including these utterances that are not only picturesque as they are not those of the League and its auditors, not stem the flow of migrants. But light reactions are those that affect safety and the peace but above all undermine the very idea and principles of citizenship and the dignity of all, the same difference. It should be in support of an unfair policy aimed at maintaining economic conditions of minority legal social and civil millions of workers committed to running the "material base" of the economy "immaterial." In affluent societies tend to merge equality and demagoguery. And in those cases, the equality s is converted into its opposite: it becomes a privilege, parasitism, at least half the crumb on the edge of a sort that it provides morsels unfairly as a "calm", as in the case of regularization of carers. But we are not an affluent society and the crisis turns on conflicts, wars between feeding the poor, from 'fire to the fuses of racism and xenophobia. The performance of Mrs. Santanchè the precieuse ridiculous, squealing the reasons for western democracy to cover the irrational appeal of nationalist racism, is a disturbing indicator on which it would be dangerous only smile.
