Vannacci, the viral video of the general-emperor on social media drives the left crazy | Libero Quotidiano.it

Free space for AI. The Instagram page Robertus Vannaccius opened its doors on July 10 and has produced a series of videos in which the general appears in the guise of an emperor. We are somewhere between trash and a remake of S.P.Q.R. – 2000 and 1/2 years ago with De Sica and Boldi. In the first clips, created with Grok, Vannacci, re-imagined with artificial intelligence, goes through the watchwords of Futuro Nazionale. Not before Empress Meloni asks for the general’s intervention. And so, off we go with “virtus”, with “identitas”, with “traditiones”, with “amor” and with “libertas”. Thus we arrive at yesterday, when Roberto Vannacci’s official profile decided to share the latest creation. Everyone is in the pile-up. Vannacci is in the company of Giorgia Meloni, Ignazio La Russa, and his wife Camelia, who shows the middle finger to political opponents in the center of the arena. They are on the sand awaiting their fate, while a lion and Giuseppe Barboni roar for justice. Elly Schlein and Giuseppe Conte in red robes are tied in the center of the amphitheater, next to them, also wrapped in a rope, Romano Prodi (who looks like Dustin Hoffman) and Laura Boldrini without her right hand. Lost in the Mouth of Truth?

The crowd invokes Giuseppus Barbonis, standard-bearer of looksmaxxing, mentioning rappers Glasond and Hammon, who with the hammer and sickle – «the same hammer and sickle they never used», a quote from Vannacci in Pescara addressed to his detractors – is ready to “unleash hell”. Meanwhile, among the audience, Mario Draghi, Roberto Speranza, and Beatrice Lorenzin watch the execution contritely. In the first 8 hours, the video recorded more than 600,000 views and 26,000 “likes”. The comments are a florilegium of insults. And the opposition is no less. Francesco Verducci, PD senator, states that «the video posted by Vannacci in which he orders the death of Schelin, Conte and other political exponents is of absolute gravity». Not content, he adds that «violence – and that via video is to all intents and purposes – must be isolated and expelled from public discourse». It’s a shame that we have never heard such words in the face of anti-fascist violence. Giuseppe Conte entrusts his reply to his Instagram profile. «If you think you can intimidate us, know that it takes much more». And again «must we prepare for the return of the mythology of violence, to rigid social hierarchy, as in the army?».

Let’s go back to the Democrats. «I can only say that we are facing aberrant political communication», writes Francesco Boccia, president of Schlein’s senators, to which the PD group leader in the Chamber, Chiara Braga, adds that «in the face of images of this gravity, silence is not acceptable». Laura Boldrini, one of the unwilling protagonists of the footage, asserts that «there is nothing ironic: it means threatening the death of leaders and representatives of other forces and it is extremely serious». Lucio Malan of Fdi distances himself from Vannacci. «A video – he says – that clearly does not belong to us in message and style, also because our empathy has always gone to the martyrs and never to the executioners of defenseless people». It might be the heat, it might be the grotesqueness of the video, but this stifling controversy is a thumbs down.
