Renzo's Capons: how to go down bickering with each other

 


Here is an article published on May 20th by Tyler Durden on "Zero Hedge"

It is, actually, a repost of an article by Brandon Smith on "Alt-Market" the day before.

The unfortunate thing is that "Zero Hedge" is a widely read publication and it is dismaying that it publishes this kind of.... - well, you know what the correct word is to describe it - it is the desperate search for someone to blame that's taking over the discussion, even though it involves all kinds of old legends and conspiracy theories. 

In Italy, we have an image to describe this kind of situation, it is called "I Capponi di Renzo" (Renzo's capons), which refers to Manzoni's novel "The Betrothed" where we read how the protagonist (Renzo) was carrying four live capons in a sac to be slaughtered, and the stupid beasts find no better pastime than pecking at each other. We are doing the same, blaming others for the situation in which we all are.
