‘Questo violento sconvolgimento emotivo (disordini di attenzione, connessioni intrusive, ipersensibilità ed esaltazione, quadri di ansietà) inizia con una piccola molecola chiamata feniletilamina (FEA) che si trova al termine di alcune cellule nervose e favorisce l’impulso di saltare da un neurone…

2 weeks ago, a Pakistani man was brutally attacked with a knife as he walked home from his local mosque. No media coverage. A few days ago, an English man was brutally attacked with a knife as he walked the streets of London. David Cameron + media declare it a terrorist attack. Both are gruesome, unjustified acts of violence fueled by ethnic/racial/religious sentiment. When we let one go unknown, and the other equated with the “war on terror”…we do humanity a disservice. There is no “us vs. them”. It is simply us. Humans. Never, ever, lose sense of your humanism.
Very important note every Western European and American needs to comprehend: It isn’t Islam that fuels terrorism, it isn’t the words of the prophet Muhammad that incite violence. It is actually very logical. The rise in terrorism amongst followers of Islam is a mere proponent of the exploitation and murder of innocent civilians across the middle East. May your little brother never find himself in the crossfire of a drone attack whilst trying to learn simple division. May your mothers and fathers never have to mourn their children. May you live in peace, sleep in peace, and live normal lives in the pursuit of happiness, without the fear of retribution or death. Wake up and stop this perpetual flow of hate + ignorance now.

Europe stands on the edge of a precipice, looking into the abyss. Austerity policies drive the peoples of Europe into poverty, undercut democracy and dismantle social policies. Rising inequalities endanger social cohesion. Ecological destruction is worsening while acute humanitarian crises devastate the most affected countries. Women and young people are hardest hit.
The European oligarchy employs ever more authoritarian methods to prop up a failed neoliberal system—all this despite widespread protest and resistance. Democracy and peace are under threat. Discrimination, based on religion, racism, homophobia or sexism and nationalism are on the rise and the crisis is deepening daily. The very existence of the European Union is now at risk while current policies weaken solidarity among European peoples.
Our most urgent priority is to build Europe on the basis of equality, solidarity and authentic democracy. European Union (EU) institutions and European governments now serve the interests of financial markets, with no respect for popular sovereignty. They must be brought under democratic control, just as the public interest must prevail and ecological and social needs be met. We base our demands for a democratic, social, ecological and feminist Europe on these principles, in solidarity with the peoples of the world.

The media’s repeated scapegoating of the Muslim population and its continual ‘clash of civilisations’ narrative must be challenged. It is time we recognise and fight against the distorted depictions of Muslims we see every day in the media. When a Muslim murders a white man it is denounced as terrorism and considered worthy of rolling news coverage but when a Muslim is killed in a racist attack, like the one on 75 year-old Mohammed Saleem in Birmingham earlier this month, it is treated as a one-off murder and largely ignored. These blatant double standards are not acceptable."

Spiace ammetterlo, ma la vita ci rende con gli anni sempre più cinici. Accade così che, con il passare degli anni, ci si abitua a tutto. Persino alla morte. Ricordo, negli anni del liceo, il cordoglio collettivo nell’apprendere che Ian Curtis dei Joy Division si era tolto la…
A inizio trasmissione, Costanzo dice la famosa frase: “Siamo in democrazia, in democrazia chiunque può parlare”. Dà la parola ai tre neonazisti, perfetti, puliti, sembravano tutti Charlie Sheen. Loro dicono: “Noi crediamo in città pulite dove poter crescere i nostri figli”. Applausi a scena aperta. Immagina: il Parioli che applaude tre neonazisti, e Costanzo che assiste alla scena come se fosse una cosa normale.
Soltanto Levy ha avuto il coraggio di parlare: “Attenzione – disse – è vero che in democrazia tutti possono parlare, ma queste persone hanno idee e bastoni, e hanno bastoni perché hanno certe idee. L’idea neonazista è un’idea violenta che la Storia ha già giudicato. Non può più essere riammessa nell’ambito argomentativo democratico”.
Al tempo Costanzo faceva fare la passerella finale agli ospiti, gli offriva un After Eight durante la puntata. Guardavo la trasmissione e mi chiedevo: e adesso Costanzo che fa? Fa fare la passerella ai neonoazisti? Gli fa ciucciare l’After Eight? Ha evitato entrambe le cose, segno ulteriore che era in malafede. Da quei piccoli fatti, capivi quello che stava montando e arrivando. Adesso, ci siamo. Quando tu, governo, permetti a quelli di Forza Nuova di manifestare per Le Pen o il fascismo, si travisa l’essenza della democrazia. La democrazia consente la parola a tutti coloro che non professano idee violente."
