did anyone want to hear a #Shakespeare speech castigating nativist cruelty against #immigration?
of course such a speech exists: bigoted malice against #immigrants is not new. the wicked have long yoked the ignorant and indecent for power
it refers to a real event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_May_Day
it is called "The Strangers' Case" speech
from the play "Sir Thomas More"
here delivered by #IanMcKellen from memory
on "The Late Show With #StephenColbert"
@benroyce The full interview with Sir Ian is here on YouTube, in proper landscape format.
(Prior to delivering the soliloquy, he goes on a tangent involving the tune "Some Enchanted Evening" by Rodgers & Hammerstein, which is also well worth watching.)

@benroyce I watched in awe. Actors who make me believe I understand Shakespeare are amazing. Ian McKellen is a treasure.
apparently he knows it so well because he performed this in 1983 for bbc radio
i can't find a recording though, it's all locked up behind various access and rights nonsense

@benroyce Mate, saw this and loved it. Such quality and in this seemingly most forgetful age, we would do well to listen more, to longer form and read in greater depth. THAT’S how we become better people. Simple understanding and balance, over quick and heady choices
-

There's number of examples of Ian pulling out this speech since then, yours is a good example

Nothing in humankind is ever new, the mechanisms universal…
And a most excellent lecture and presentation by Ian McKellen!
Simply marvelous.

@benroyce @geppiegep According to Wiki, first performed it on stage in 1964. So he’s had this memorized longer than I’ve been alive.

@benroyce this is also a great reminder of why conservatives hate history and art, history to teach us this evil of hatred of others has always existed, and art to stir in our soul that it can and should be overcome. Great share, Ian McKellen is an amazing man

historical note:
this play had many authors, constantly revised
historians believe for this speech lines such as
"For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another."and
"but chartered unto them?
What would you think To be thus used?
This is the stranger's case,
And this your mountanish inhumanity"are directly attributable to Shakespeare's hand

@benroyce Too bad Sir Thomas More was executed by Henry the VIII...The current world emperor would likely do the same
@Martin_de_Zavala @benroyce Interesting... hadn't thought about it before, but Trump is so very Henry VIII!

Sapienza, attacco hacker da un milione di euro: i dati sono a rischio
Il sito de #LaSapienza è ancora offline e lo stesso vale per la piattaforma #Infostud utilizzata dagli studenti. L'attacco, rivendicato da cybercriminali russi, è avvenuto con un ransomware ormai diversi giorni fa. L’ateneo fa sapere tramite i profili social di essere al lavoro per gestire l’emergenza in modo unitario e coordinato, interfacciandosi con le altre istituzioni coinvolte.

Qualcuno onesto che vota PD potrebbe spiegarmi perché si tengono dentro Picierno & Co?
Grazie.
Schlein: «No a nuove strette anti-democratiche. Il Pd è plurale, ma la linea è una»
> La segretaria lancia la campagna per il No «di merito» al referendum e le iniziative per «l’ascolto del paese». E alla minoranza interna: «Rispetto per il dissenso, ma la linea è chiara, non sono due, non tre, non nessuna»
