Boys gone wild.

Another problem that we will soon face, and this is also happening more or less everywhere, is that of adolescent violence. We talk about babygang, we talk about "bad nightlife", but the thing that maybe we should ask ourselves is: what is happening?

Let's try to build a model. But to do this, you need to reset time, as if everything before 2007 had never happened. Because this is the memory of a 14 year old today. We certainly cannot expect her to know about Franca Viola.

You have a son, let's say 13/14 years. You enroll him in a sports club because he plays football. He is passionate, he trains for years. They teach him about sport. The values ​​of sport. The rules. The importance of respect for the rules. The fairplay. The referee as a benevolent authority. And finally “the match” arrives. The one where the public will be. In a real stadium. The one that has been waiting for a long time. The one where he can show what he can do. The game of the greats.

He plays in Dinamo Males, and the Great Match will be played against Borussia Femmine. Two teams, same game, same opportunity, they told him. Very well.

Arrive at the moment with your heart in your throat. The gates open, the dazzling lights come in from the stands, and the two teams enter the field. But when he enters the field, the men's team immediately notices one thing: there are no fans for them. Their stands are empty. Not even their parents are cheering on them: they are all cheering on the girls' team. For the other team there is a roar, for them there is silence, and some whistles.

Because it's in fashion. Because it's appropriate. Because nowadays you have to be on those stands always. Today we must always and only cheer for the female team.

And when they, the males, take the ball there are only whistles, while when the females take it there is applause. If they mark them there is silence, if the females mark there is a roar. And even the referee, to say it all, does not seem so balanced. Little by little they realize that that game was built to see them lose, to enjoy their defeat, to make them leave the pitch humiliated.

The boy begins to see a dying dream.

Now you will say that "for many years it was like this for women!", "In 1884 women couldn't even play football!" and all the rest. Things that make sense to us adults. I remember that old world, that province. But I am an adult. They don't remember and they don't know.

The boy is 14, he doesn't know these things, he has started playing in a world where girls play, and he doesn't know what you're talking about. And he sees his dreams end in the face of reality.

The intellectual cazzari will tell me that this "should stimulate them to reflect" and that in any case "it will stimulate them to resilience". But these "intellectuals" are cazzari and would live on Mars, if only Mars did not exist.

In reality we are dealing with a 14 year old, who has a pack (the team), an identity (the shirt), a leader (the captain), testosterone and adrenaline. And he just realized that for him there are only whistles. That the rules are an illusion, that fair play is a legend, that the values ​​of sport are hot air. That his dreams were fairy tales. In reality he is on a hostile field, he can only draw or lose because the rules have been changed, and nothing the coaches have taught him makes sense. This situation will not stimulate any reflection, and the resilience of males is called aggression.

The game will end with half the females in the hospital, the referee beaten up, the changing rooms vandalized, the stadium on fire and the football club will never see those boys training again. Obviously the victory will be assigned to the girls ex officio .

This is what we are doing: we do not understand that the debate, if not the controversy between women and men, makes sense among us adults. Adults who remember the past, and remember well the abuses of both sides. Husbands who are abused every day, even if verbal, women who are physically abused, and everything we adults know well.

But those are kids. They don't know these things. They do not remember a past in which they were not yet born. They have never been married. They have never been in the workplace. They know NOTHING about what we are saying when we argue.

They just wanted to play a game with the stadium full on both sides. It was their dream. They wanted to win (or try) with a neutral referee. But you made them play in the world of #metoo, overwhelmed by whistles, without even their parents cheering for them, and with the referee against, with palpable malign pleasure when they fail.

They found themselves in the #metoo match, where the public is alone and always and everything for the female team, the rule says that the females can never lose, for the males there are only whistles, and if he scores a goal the opposing team there are two.

They will become ferocious. They are already becoming ferocious. Under our eyes. Boys are already dropping out of school more than girls. They are forming herds. They get violent, more and more violent with each passing day.

And you can't call them back to the rules. Because they will feel betrayed by the rules themselves . The coach has been telling them about the values ​​of sport for years and years, he has deluded them, they have explained to them the value of the rules, and the fair play, but when they enter the field they will discover that the rules have been rewritten in favor of the opponent, that he must still win 50% of the time (regardless of how well he plays), that the opposing team cannot lose by decree, and that the game takes place, not sporty, with the public only on one side of the stadium. And it's not theirs. The rules and values, these guys have stopped believing in them.

They will decide in a millisecond that the rules are good for sweeping your balls, that you give us an enema with the values ​​of sport, and that devastating the stadium, at least, is fun and afterwards you feel better.

What if the rest of the world judges them badly for it, well: the rest of the world cheers on the other team, remember?

Would you like to call the Celere?

Did you understand that their purpose is to devastate that field where they were humiliated, and a battle with the Celere devastates twice as much? Have you ever seen a residential area after a collision with the Celere?

The violence we are witnessing is not the Sunday outbreak of violence. These young people have abandoned the game, and even the sport entirely, convinced that they are in enemy territory, surrounded by enemies, and that any rules and values ​​invoked are designed specifically against them.

In this case, the induced behavior of testosterone is simple: “ devastate, vandalize, beat, burn, have no inhibitions towards violence, no amount of violence is too much, for the simple reason that they would do the same to you. And if you look closely, those guys with the shield and the truncheon are there just to do it to you. "

Now go to them to "educate" them: but you cannot say that you are there for equality when in the stadium you only cheer for the other team.

I repeat: the debate that takes place between adults can make sense, everyone has a say, everyone is free to have their own opinions. But we adults remember things that teenagers don't remember. They don't know what we're talking about: they haven't seen it.

All these teenagers are hearing is that you only have to cheer on the other team, in the name of equality. They were born a short time ago. They don't know all the history, all the politics, all the regress, all the past debate. They only see that they enter the field and the whole audience cheers against them. In principle. And even if you explain to them why, if you tell them about the past, they will wonder why they have to pay them the price for what their fathers and grandparents did. They would feel equally unfair.

This is what we are growing up: we are making debates between adults using the same social networks that teenagers use. We are having debates in front of them that ONLY make sense among adults. On TV. On newspaper. On the Internet. And they listen to us. And of course, this may give young females courage, but we wondered what effect it will have on young males?

At my age, if you tell me that as a white male I am detested and reviled, I laugh at you and open a beer. Fuck yourself. If you tell me about Franca Viola, I know who she was but I don't feel particularly guilty about this. But the 14-year-old boy knows nothing of all this. For him Asia Argento is an old woman who says things on TV. If the boy is weak, he may fold for some time, but as soon as the game gets serious and something real is at stake (salary, school grades, other material), and he will realize that he is NOT in a situation of justice, testosterone will give him the answer: pack, follow the leader, devastate, vandalize, set fire to. Buy yourself a gun and shoot anyone. And if the swift comes, the battle will give your life the epic narrative you seek , as well as double the devastation.

Watching what's happening on the streets, watching it happen, if you can't understand the reason, ask yourself what you would have done and answer it WITHOUT considering ANY what happened before 2007.

The answer will come spontaneously.

“The territory is hostile. Devastate enemy territory. This is not a negotiation. ”.

And those who have sown hatred will only reap violence.

I'm not saying it's going to happen to all males. It will only happen to those who wanted to enter the field. The cowards will follow the usual route to the slaughterhouse. It will only happen to those who are angry. To those who first would have become leaders or at least the ruling class.

And this is because a debate / controversy that should have taken place BETWEEN ADULTS is taking place, complete with cancel culture, also involving young people.

You are turning those with initiative and assertiveness into thugs who otherwise would have formed the ruling class.

What could possibly go wrong?
