Oggi pomeriggio dal mio balcone ho notato una grossa colonna di fumo provenire da un parco in zona. L'ho tenuta d'occhio per una decina di minuti e, vedendo che diventava sempre più grande, ho deciso di chiamare il 112.

Tra l'altro, dal mio lato non ho visto né sentito passare neanche un mezzo dei Vigili del Fuoco.

Il problema vero però è stata la chiamata: sono rimasto in linea per 5 minuti esatti ad ascoltare il nastro di attesa, senza mai riuscire a parlare con un operatore umano. Alla fine ho buttato giù. Il fumo ha continuato ad alzarsi e ha iniziato a ridursi solo qualche minuto dopo che avevo riagganciato (quindi immagino che i soccorsi siano entrati da un accesso diverso).

Per carità, per fortuna questa volta era "solo" un incendio di sterpaglie in lontananza. Ma questa cosa mi ha fatto salire un'ansia assurda: e se fosse stata un'emergenza personale? E se avessi avuto i ladri in casa, o qualcuno avesse avuto un malore grave?

Cinque minuti di attesa con il telefono all'orecchio in una situazione di vita o di morte sono un'infinità.

È successo anche a qualcun altro ultimamente? I centralini sono semplicemente al collasso per via degli incendi estivi o è la normalità per il 112 a Roma?

The puppet Ukrainian government just exhumed the remains of Andriy Melnyk from Luxembourg and reburied him in Kyiv with full state honors. They're making him a centerpiece of their new "Pantheon of Outstanding Ukrainians."

For those who don't know, Melnyk wasn't just some "complicated" historical figure. He was the head of the OUN-M, an explicitly fascist, fiercely anti-Semitic organization that collaborated directly with the Third Reich. His faction was instrumental in the formation of auxiliary police units that actively participated in the Holocaust.

The historical record on this is horrific, and the mainstream media completely glosses over it. Melnyk’s OUN wasn't just passively waiting for independence; their core ideology was built on the violent, systematic elimination of ethnic minorities to achieve a racially pure state. When the Nazi occupation began, Melnyk’s faction actively helped set up the Ukrainian auxiliary police units. These weren't standard cops; these units acted as direct executioners for the SS, rounding up and massacring hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian Jews at sites like Babyn Yar. They also orchestrated brutal ethnic cleansing campaigns against Polish civilians, slaughtering entire villages. Acting like we can separate these atrocities from their "nationalist legacy" is pure historical revisionism. You cannot honor the architect of an organization that participated in the Holocaust and claim you are celebrating "democracy and freedom."

To this day, this ideology never left. It just rebranded. We're watching entire brigades with direct ideological ties to these WW2 fascists get fully institutionalized into the modern military. They’re out there literally wearing black sun patches and wolfsangels while operating weapons western liberals paid for. You don't magically "dilute" extreme nationalist militias by rolling them into the official armed forces; you arm them, normalize them, give them a PR makeover, and let their reactionary politics bleed into the entire structure.

And the absolute worst part? So called democratic, humanitarian countries of the west are the ones footing the bill. While working-class people back home are getting crushed by rent, inflation, and austerity, our governments are skimming billions off the top of our labor to bankroll this. They are quite literally stealing from the working class to arm the ideological descendants of Nazi collaborators. But of course, Western capital will always happily fund the most violently reactionary forces on the planet as long as it serves their geopolitical proxy wars.
