Beto Casella on the difference between evil and stupidity

Buenos Aires, Nov 19 (NA) – Journalist and host Beto Casella asked that “we not be complicit in evil,” while citing former president Juan Domingo Perón on his statements about ignorance, in the context of the program he hosts on Rock & Pop, “Nadie nos para”.

According to what Argentine News Agency was able to learn, based on an archive of an interview with the former head of state in 1974, Perón stated: “The brute is always worse than the evil one because the evil one usually has a remedy, but the brute does not. I have seen many evil ones who have become good, but never a brute who has become intelligent.”

Meanwhile, in a current scenario with a effervescent political landscape and over-communication, Casella considered: “Beware of the idiots you have around, they are a love, but in the long run, yes or yes, they complicate your life. There is a barbaric difference between the bad and the idiots, it seems incredible, but, the idiots are more dangerous and it is proven.”

“The bad guy, or the bad girl, in general, know what they are doing. Therein lies the danger.”

“The limit of evil is the fear of punishment, not stupidity,” the host insisted.

“Let's not be complicit in evil, nor carriers of stupidity. The bad guy calculates, plans and has an objective. But, the idiot has no plan and does not measure the damage he causes, he spreads without checking, due to his terrible ignorance,” continued Beto.

Therefore, the host insisted: “The bad guy wants to fuck you over and the idiot thinks he is helping you. Think before you share, listen before you opine and doubt before you condemn. Do not be part of it because in a world full of bad guys, the idiot is the one who does the dirty work,” the journalist concluded.

When one is aware, it can be combated, the foolishness with good intentions, is unstoppable.
