You must be so miserable because… I was thinking you must be so scoundrel to wish bad luck to a woman who had just announced on Twitter that she was pregnant, when an account called Ojo Cinefilo The Net suspended an old video with the following message: “Love this anecdote he wrote Orson Welles on Winston Churchill. The video is two minutes and three seconds long, and even if you watched it or know the story, I advise you to watch it again. I won’t spoil the ending, but if I did, it wouldn’t matter either, for what is impossible to convey here is the great director’s grace in recounting his serendipitous encounter with the politician in a hotel in Venice during the film festival. Churchill was no longer prime minister of the United Kingdom, and Wells was in the restaurant “with a Russian businessman who was trying to make money from him” to make a movie. left the rest Find him on Twitter So they can enjoy everything that fits into the two-and-a-half—life experience, historical context, humor, and mischief—of a tale that has more substance than some feature films. The truth is that Twitter’s vertigo, which turns it into an endless pit of time and mold, suddenly offers temporary relief, an escape route, and even a moment of beauty. The rest, apparently in recent days, is bleak.
Rita Maestri, a 34-year-old woman, political scientist and spokeswoman for MAS Madrid in the city council headed by Jose Luis Martinez Almeida, posts a photo on her Twitter account showing a smiling, half-profile, side by side with the unmistakable phrase: “I wish To be able to show you how beautiful Madrid is.” Many of the responses to his tweet are congratulatory, but there are so many others that it’s hard to reproduce here. A good percentage of creepy comments hide under the cowardice of anonymity, but there are others who do so with a cute body, with names and nicknames, like a former semi-party deputy.
Before the barrage of pettiness, the MASS Madrid advisor said: “It sometimes occurs to me that I doubt the answer because everything in the Twitter imagination feels like a conversation. Then I remember that there are those who come to share, to listen, to discuss, that is to speak, and there are those who come to generate hatred, pure hatred. It is It’s tough, but his life must be worse.”
This last sentence is interesting. How should life, thoughts, and principles be for a person, when reading such a tweet from a political opponent, who not only feels a rush to ridicule, but even does not constrain it, even if it is out of respect for himself? Others might think of his absolute instincts? In 2002, the Israeli writer Amos Oz wrote a small but great article entitled against intolerance. It has 100 pages, costs about 12 euros and is published by Siruela. The first sentence is suggestive: “How do you treat a fanatic?” And the following paragraph gives an idea of the complexity of the answer: “Extremism is older than Islam, than Christianity, than Judaism. Older than any state, government or political system. Older than any ideology or creed in the world. Unfortunately, fanaticism is an ever-present element in human nature, an evil gene, to call it that.” Fans from right and left, today against Rita Meister and tomorrow against Ines Arimadas, there’s never a shortage of reason – even if small – to unleash your super-comfortable salon hate on Twitter.
