3 editoriali da leggere su #PapaFrancesco, che si condividano o meno:
#MarcoTravaglio:

Bergoglio e pregiudizio
Papa Francesco era il capo della Chiesa cattolica, dunque nessun capo di governo era tenuto a obbedirgli. Infatti tutti i leader del mondo dal 2013, quando fu eletto, a oggi si sono ben guardati dal seguire le sue parole.Marco Travaglio (Il Fatto Quotidiano)

#CinziaSciuto di #Micromega che dice: non prendiamo solo quello che ci piace di #papaFrancesco su #pace e #poveri, guardiamo anche alle sue posizioni NON progressiste sui diritti delle #donne e #LGBT

L’infatuazione della sinistra per un papa reazionario e misogino
La sinistra ha enfatizzato le posizioni del papa su poveri, migranti, guerra, ambiente, minimizzando quelle più reazionarie e misogine.Micromega
e #RobertReich che spiega perché, secondo lui,#PapaFrancesco era la coscienza del mondo, un'autorità morale in un mondo verso l'autoritarismo

>> The extremely poor health conditions of #PopeFrancis were there for all to see, but it is reasonable to conclude that the #US had extremely timely information on his health to get VP #Vance to Rome the very weekend #PopeFrancis died…
Also #Russia managed to stage a fake 1-day #ceaseFire in #Ukraine the same weekend

One pope dies, another is in the making, an old adage says. BUT this time it is different, #PopeFrancis was special.
We will never forget what #PopeFrancis did for Julian #Assange
reshared this
He also said a lot of shit, and covered the church, saying in 2019, during investigations on the Church and its numerous horrors through times that "critics of church are 'friends of the devil'"
Let's not forget what kind of crimes he was polishing through his friendly vibes and branding

you should read #JDVance's speech on how EU should not be a *permanent security vassal* of the United States.
BUT when JD Vance says so,does he think EU should be *independent* from the US military-industrial complex and its forever wars? NOT at all

In JD Vance's vision, EU *vassals* must be more *independent* in the sense that they must have more weapons of their own, purchased from the US, of course. In the name of arms interoperability in the US-vassal alliance

and it is interesting how JD Vance uses language, a mix of: humiliation of EU *vassals* + suggesting that the independence of a nation depends on the possession of arms + winking at critics of EU servility to the USA

ed è molto interessante come JD Vance usa il linguaggio: un mix di umiliazione dei vassalli europei,far passare l'indipendenza dalle armi (tipicamente americano), e strizzatina d'occhio ai critici del servilismo europeo nei confronti degli USA

"I don't want the Europeans to just do whatever the Americans tell them to do", è quel just che è indicativo, vogliono che, come si dice in linguaggio aziendalistico, siano proattivi
Poi fa ridere sentire che i tedeschi siano dipendenti dalle esportazioni in Usa. Che è anche vero, ma è un rovesciamento
La logica non è di casa, anche perché loro ci vogliono vassalli proprio nel senso feudatario, per fare le guerre per loro (contro la Cina?)
