haha yes i watched zerocalcare's new goofy sociopolitical cartoon and i did NOT angrily ugly cry almost the entire way through at the way it portrays the utter complete loss of any perspective in life for young generations, the sense of powerlessness in front on the indifference of most, the criminalization of immigrants and political militants, and the way some of the poorest strata of the population is getting absorbed by a rising neofacist movement that's spurred along by the institutions.

#even though it is a funny cartoon and a masterful social commentary #zerocalcare #i think he feels the losses way more than he has any sincere hope left #which is understandable especially because he is a cartoonist not an organizer #but this gut feeling gets to you for sure #im way more used to channeling the anger through something like the dinosaur friends in this #questo mondo non mi renderà cattivo #thats the name on nfx #this world won't tear me down

Oggi compie 14 anni il cane più buono, affettuoso e pazzo della mia vita. Caro Pablo (per le zie anziane Plabo o Palbo), ne abbiamo viste parecchie assieme. Tu continua a ripararti tra le mie gambe come se fossi un microscopico cucciolo di chihuahua e non un colosso di 37 kg. È sempre un privilegio potermi fregiare della tua amicizia e, talvolta, usarti come leggio.

P.s.: @kon-igi chiede gentilmente Pablo a quando le prossime carezzine?

Una pozza di anime che annaspa al buio in un posto dove non ci può vivere nessun altro. […] La corrente fa paura perché non sai dove ti porta, ma almeno non stai andando affondo.

shit the "eurydice comes back home from hell after 20 years and people are surprised she's not the same person anymore" hits hard

#this world can't tear me down #zerocalcare #yes i KNOW it's about radicalization #but it's also about the isolation that leaves people vulnerable to naziism and other cults

The English title of “Questo mondo non mi renderà cattivo” misunderstands fundamentally the core theme of the series.

There, I said it.

Now a step back.

Italian comic book author Zerocalcare’s second series after “Strappare lungo i bordi” ( “Tear along the dotted line” ) is now streaming on netflix and, while I can’t swear by the translation for I haven’t seen it in English, you should go watch it.

Both of the series are funny and heartbreaking in equal measure, and exist as tales from Zerocalcare’s life as a jumping point to explore more existential topics.

Now, if you haven’t seen them yet, go and do so for spoilers await you under the cut.

The English title netlix chose for the series is “This world can’t tear me down”.

I get that they wanted to draw a connection to the first series (Tear along the dotted line), but the choice is so fundamentally at odds with the message of the series that I’m going to scream into the void about it.

See, a way more actual translation of the title could be “This world won’t make me cruel”.

You’re going to ask yourself how nitpicky can I possibly be. They are close enough, aren’t they? WRONG. And the problem is optimism.

If you’ve seen the series you’ll know that the setting is this: an old friend of Zero comes back after twenty years in rehab. Zero is forced to try and re-acquaint Cesare to the world despite his (perceived) inadequacy. Meanwhile, a neonazi movement is pushing to get a recently opened refugee center closed, and Zero is shocked when he discovers that Cesare has fallen with that crowd.

Sure of the fact that they preyed on his alienation after his many years in rehab, Zero confronts Cesare, who tells him that since he has it all (especially a job) Zero has no right to tell him how he should behave in his desperate situation.

And Zero does believe him, and becomes doubtful of his right to point out what someone in a worse situation should do.

If the point were about resisting in the face of an evil world then the title would fit. But it’s not.

The point, the actual point, is that in the face of evil we don’t have to become evil too. That no one has a monopoly on what’s right and wrong. That the line we must draw is that even in the face of hardship is that we don’t get to kick down who has it worse than us, just to stand a little bit taller than someone.

That’s why “this world won’t make [us] cruel”. It’s not because we are in a righteous fight, withstanding the elements. It’s because we must have a last shred of dignity and courage, to help who has it worse. It won’t be an easy fight, and perhaps not even a successful one.

To believe that the world won’t tear us down is irrealistic, and far to optimistic.

"The world won’t tear me down” is the story of someone’s lonely and rightful stand.

“The world won’t make me cruel”, instead, reminds us that we don’t live in a vacuum, that we are not alone. And that we can’t be right and be cruel to those who are more vulnerable than us.

Even when everything is out to hurt us, we still have to resist the temptation to be cruel.

Mi hanno spezzato le ossa, hanno brindato, e sono vivo.
