Gravediggers’ orgy.
I will not participate, let it be clear, in the monstrous Becchini Orgy that I am observing everywhere, after the news of Murgia's death. And no, I won't even recognize this "honor of arms" that Meloni has taken pains to grant.
I know that, by millenary tradition, a tradition that dates back to the cassocks, death coincides with sanctification, or at least with that "libera nos a malo", by which the deceased places himself above earthly judgement.
Now, if I were a pimp like many I would have to tell you that granting the honor of arms to Murgia is an insult, because for her the concept of "honor" was a fruit of the Patriarchy. One of the rotten fruits. But honestly, I don't grant the honor of arms for the simple reason that he never fought with honor, on the contrary.
I do not grant the honor of arms to Murgia, not for a problem of method, but for a problem of merit: the echo of his heroic deeds has not reached my ears.
The echoes that reach me are these:
And I'm sorry to say it, but if you can get Sgarbi on the side of reason, there would be a lot to say. Moreover, speaking of a dead author, who could no longer answer her: what honor are we talking about.
And I don't think she's above criticism just because she's dead. His material life has remained the same, and if anything the sum of his actions will never be able to change again. Which creates the perfect conditions for a judgment.
I am a male. I am white. I'm Western. I'm wealthy, some would say.
If I said that a poor African black female was a thief or a prostitute by definition, I would probably get the worst of the worst accusations. Racism, chauvinism, prejudice, blablabla.
But at a certain point Murgia comes up with a speech according to which if you are male, white, Western and wealthy, then you are absolute evil, which the rest of the population must fight ferociously, even with violence.
And if we consider that Murgia was a RWW, a Rich White Woman, the matter becomes worse. She was perhaps wealthier than me, white, Western, except that she wasn't a male. And apparently, that's enough to get her out of the conversation. That colonialism that everyone accuses the Western white male of, apparently, has nothing to do with the Western white woman.
But it does not matter. The problem is that this lady used her media power (certainly superior to this blog) to carry out an operation of "Hitlerization" of a person (me like many others) who honestly didn't even dream of consciously planning everyone the evils of the world.
And he had no real love of being contradictory. She never fought. The few times he had a debate he had it in neutral territory, with moderators who were white, Western, wealthy and male, but under "male" I would add "domesticated". She is never put into discussions with, let's say, wilder characters.
So this one went to its 10,000 meters altitude, on its B-52, and dropped bombs on the Western white male, without anyone being able to answer it, because ultimately it accepted comparisons only with domesticated Western white males, in moderate debates.
Someone will tell me that he fought against Salusti or others, but honestly, I'm not Sallusti, he doesn't represent me, I don't support him, and especially: he's not even that "Head of the Patriarchate" that should exist if the Patriarchate existed.
There is no "honour" in this way of acting. Because among Western white males, even wealthy ones, there are certainly millions of people who, like me, are not to blame for the invasion of the Americas or for the death of blacks by Detroit policemen, and especially, who have no way of replicate.
Even though I've had a blog for 21 years now, my blog doesn't have nearly as much power as ten minutes of prime time TV. Interesting duel, one with a cannon and one with a slingshot. Where is the honor in this boundless expanse of cowardice?
You will not have the honor of arms, Murgia. Because you have NOT fought with honor, EVER.
All you did was get on your B52 and start dropping bombs on people, just because of the color of their skin, just because of their place of birth, just because of their gender, and to make matters worse, people who didn't have not even the idea of being at war.
Modern feminism is a kind of Pearl Harbor, against people, that is, Western white males, who have built (even by dying by the millions) the only society in the world where Murgia is not imprisoned or killed. We didn't know we were at war, and to be honest, we even thought we were friends. Stabbed in the back.
There's no honor in this. And I will not recognize any honor of arms, as Meloni did.
Maybe Meloni and the fascists see the honor in it, but this doesn't surprise me.
And what about the intellectual?
I can only say one thing: I recognize the title of intellectual only to those thinkers who have one characteristic, that of novelty . Parroting old songs that were already old when I was young honestly advises me not to use that term.
Even more so today, when ChatGPT 4 is also able to "write well": from this moment on, "but he writes well" is no longer a measure of intellect. We need to write news, that is, content we have never heard before.
But everything that Murgia says comes from the American feminism of the 60s and 70s, with some excursions in the 80s. Honestly, it was old stuff when we were young. Intersectionality as a concept was introduced in 1989 by Kimberlé Crenshaw, who among other things was financed by the Rockefeller foundation, while her "Critical Race Theory" dates back to 1986.
Putting an end to those moments when, without knowing it, we white males went crazy for Michael Jackson, Prince, watched Eddy Murphy movies and found them funny, and didn't even think we were doing anything wrong. We were a generation that was basically gender-agnostic, race-agnostic, almost none of those who listened to Boy George or Dead Or Alive saw anything strange, none of those who loved Prince or Michael Jackson, or those who laughed with Eddy Murphy, they saw us as “niggers”. For me the absolute genius of the drums was Sheila I. ( https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheila_E .), who I only notice today is “non-white” by American standards.
If you had asked one of us the biggest difference between Annie Lennox and Tina Turner, we would have answered "the musical genre", not "the color of the skin".
Stabbed in the back, for 30 denarii that "the intellectual" earned by writing books.
The generation that was 16 years old in 1986, that didn't see skin color, got Critical Race Theory's accusations of systematic racism on its head, and you're talking about "intellectuals"? I just see a provincial girl who brings the most senseless American nonsense to Italy.
Even his much abused "queer family", as a concept, was born from the pen of Heinlein, in the book "Friday", where the institution of "S families" is precisely described and conceived. That is, queer families.
And it cannot be said that Heinlein is a left-wing writer. To be honest, it's so indigestible that no one wants it. But he had enough sense that there were parts of his thoughts everywhere.
In Murgia's thought there is nothing never heard before. Don't tell me what kind of intellectual she was: she wasn't. He just copied Americans. To earn 30 denarii.
What remains of her, in my eyes?
Nothing, except the fact that thanks to him, some bitch in Italy that I don't even know hates me for the color of my skin, for being born male, for being born in the West.
So no, sorry. I will not participate in your orgy of gravediggers.
