Gli studenti di centinaia di universitĂ nel mondo occidentale chiedono una sola cosa: la fine dello sterminio a Gaza. Le immagini che arrivano dalla Palestina passano con difficoltĂ nei media tradizionali, ma straripano nei social media ormai accessibili in tutto il mondo in tempo reale. Il vettore di questa diffusione è lo smartphone. Come spiega Juan Carlos De Martin nel suo bel libro Contro lo smartphone â Per una tecnologia piĂš democratica (ADD editore), mai prima dâora unâinnovazione tecnologica aveva raggiunto una portata cosĂŹ vasta cosĂŹ velocemente, diventando indispensabile per le attivitĂ quotidiane.
There is too much Gaza on TikTok: that’s why they shut it down
Students from hundreds of universities in the Western world are demanding one thing: an end to the massacre in Gaza. The images coming from Palestine face difficulties in traditional media but overflow on social media platforms accessible worldwide in real-time. The vector of this dissemination is the smartphone. As Juan Carlos De Martin explains in his insightful book “Against the Smartphone – Towards a more democratic technology” (ADD Publisher), never before has a technological innovation reached such a vast scale so rapidly, becoming indispensable for daily activities.

THE DOUBLE MISTAKE OF EUROPE – Relying on the neoliberal creed, believing it would guarantee supremacy and lasting prosperity, and giving up the role of being a bridge between the United States and the emerging world.
In their recent trip to Beijing, both German Chancellor Scholz and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reproached Xi Jinping for China’s alleged overinvestment in sectors such as electric vehicles, solar panels, and batteries, well beyond the capacity of its domestic market, in order to flood global markets with more competitive goods. They both stated that they will not accept their industries being cornered simply because Chinese products enjoy lower production costs.
According to the Chinese, these claims are unfounded. They argue that China’s rise in these sectors has been driven, among other factors, by innovation and supply chains that have made the Chinese production system more competitive. The trade war between Western countries and China seems to be escalating every day, laying the groundwork for a military confrontation in line with the well-known saying by Von Clausewitz that war is the continuation of politics by other means.

If you want peace, you don’t prepare for war, but for negotiations.
According to an ancient aphorism attributed to Aeschylus, “in war, truth is the first casualty”: nothing could be truer as we have experienced in the last two years, during which the falsehoods propagated by politicians and mainstream media are countless. If reality can be distorted to convince the public of the righteousness of certain political choicesâa phenomenon to which we have become accustomedâthe problem becomes dramatic and dangerous when the ruling class loses all connection with the facts and becomes a victim of its own self-delusion.

Secondo un antico aforisma attribuito a Eschilo, âin guerra, la verità è la prima vittimaâ: niente di piĂš vero come abbiamo sperimentato negli ultimi due anni in cui le frottole allâunisono di politici e media mainstream non si contano. Se la realtĂ può essere distorta per convincere lâopinione pubblica della bontĂ di certe scelte politiche â un fenomeno a cui ormai siamo assuefatti â il problema diventa drammatico e pericoloso quando la classe dirigente perde ogni collegamento con i fatti e rimane vittima del proprio autoconvincimento.
