The Best and Worst of

Human Society

.

The title of the book will be:
'About Abel & Cain —or The Best & Worst of Human Society'

Yesterday [March 15th] we had to read about another mass murder. This time it happened in the peaceful NZ, where 49 innocent people were killed by a white supremacist (probably helped by some accomplices). Such acts of madness are the product of hatred towards other human beings, guilty only of being different (for the color of their skin, or for their religion/ gender/ national origin/ social and cultural differences, or for anything else that is seen as "alien", and therefore "unacceptable", according to the pathological mental patterns of these murderers). The history of humanity has always known such atrocities, but we live in the 21st century, not in the Middle Ages! Plus, today we have a serious problem to face: through social media, extremist and violent ideas create conditions that can have catastrophic consequences for human society. Yesterday's New Zealand massacre is the first mass murder to be entirely recorded, transmitted and amplified through social media: this means that the chances that others would emulate Tarrant (this is the murderer's name), in a near future, are truly high. But there is more: the most critical point is that there is a precise will, on the part of an important fringe of society, with strong political ties, to blow on the flames of violence... We all remember President Trump’s refusal to condemn white supremacists and neo-Nazis, after Charlottesville. And again, as many other times in the past, yesterday too he downplayed the "hate crime" factor. The same have been done by politicians in other countries. In Italy, for instance, Salvini has declared that "the real extremism is the Islamic one" --only later did he add that the New Zealand massacre must be condemned. While a journalist, close to his political party, simply avoided talking about supremacist terrorism... [but referring to the "climate march" she said: "Greta Thunberg? If she wasn't sick I'd put her under the car"!]
All this is really dangerous. Yet, too many simply stay with their eyes shut. For this reason, I've chosen the theme: "The Best and the Worst of Human Society". WELCOME!
