Among the many things I don’t understand of social media there is the need of people to comment on anything. Why engaging in virtual verbal fights with strangers that will surely misunderstand you? Which pleasure does it give you insulting the author of a post? And, most importantly, where do you find the time to do all that?

I recently published a reel featuring the not-so-sweet encounter between the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and France’s President Emmanuel Macron. This video was played more than 6M times, reaching more than 2M accounts, for a total view time of 9K hours (375 days). It received 70K likes and more than 3K comments.

Now, you would think this is great news, right? Wrong, my phone was constantly buzzing with notifications and I had to read all the idiotic comments, trying to remove the most racist ones. Here a summary of what people have said, just to show how disappointing mankind can be:

The police filmed a violent settling of accounts between two rival gangs in the small town of Röszke. The conflict arose to determine who had precedence in using anti-migrants feelings to distract public opinion from the failures and illicit behaviors of the gangs’ administration.

Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino announced a new movie inspired by these events, with the working title Reservoir Jackals.

Last? Tango in Brussels is a 2019 EUrotic drama film which portrays the anonymous and estranged political relationship between a newly born country (Free England) and her old master (the European Union).

The film’s raw depiction of morbid political irresponsibility, masochistic ignorance of EU treaties and negated popular involvement led to international controversy and emotional turmoil.
