Hello dear

Huh? Okay, we joke a lot on Actutana, sure… and we often hit the nail on the head: the bullshit, the nonsense, the incompetence, and all that.

But here’s where I make it a point of honor: I will never, ever resort to denigration, slander, or base accusations.

I wasn’t raised like that, it’s not my philosophy on information and blogging, and it’s even a little dangerous: intentional lies always end up backfiring, and in the society we live in, you’ll quickly get hit by the boomerang 🤣

So yes, we denounce, we relay, we accuse, BUT always on the basis of proven facts. Did he say something stupid? We’ll amplify it loud and clear. He undoubtedly dipped his hand in the jam jar? He’ll feel it. And so on.

But never, ever, just because you don’t like someone, do you just spread a web of lies about them? Once again, no, I refuse to engage in that kind of behavior.

And in return, don’t let anyone indulge in a load of nonsense about me either, ataoko mahafatatra tsara ny anarako koa 🤣

In short, we are indeed living in tumultuous times, that’s a fact. But this also implies great responsibilities for all those involved in the information process. That is to say… pretty much everyone, actually.

So you take the risk of spreading or relaying serious but unproven information, you take responsibility. It’s as simple as that. And again, watch out for your next visit to the dentist.

You might retort, hoe: “Yes, but we’re dealing with thugs“? So to fight thugs, you’d have to sink to their level and behave like a thug yourself? Well, you can do what you want, but again, that’s not our style.

Okay, so how do we fight the thugs then? Well, in a way, I’d say it’s pointless fighting them head-on: they’ll fall on their own. What happens to a basket of crabs? They’ll end up eating each other, right? We agree.

So, that was just a little aside. Take it as you will; no one is forcing anyone. It’s just a little summary of decades of online presence, and as they say, the pleasure of sharing.

You take it? Great. You don’t take it? Great, always. But don’t come whining later about a possible backlash, then.

Lastly, and we’ll conclude anyway, with a little actuarial dig: when you expose your children like this to the rampant political scene without really knowing what their exact responsibilities are, is it because somewhere… they’re ready to take the dirty tricks and the stink bombs then?

There are choices to be made in life: you can’t necessarily have everything… the farmer’s wife, her butt, the milk, the butter, the dough, and all that.
