The cold fools.
There is only one thing in the Italian media more ugly than a war. And it is a war involving russia . Because you have to know that somewhere, under the snow, there are still many old stoners who were with the USSR during the cold war.
The cold fools.
It is a portmanteau between "war fool" and "cold war", which indicates a person of those who at the end of the cold war, sad and scorned, sat on a bench watching the porno magazines of Giulietto Chiesa, until until the leaves and pigeon poop had covered them.
And we thought they had disappeared from history. But now there is a war. And there is Russia. And if there is Russia, then our zombie gets up, shakes off the leaves and the pigeon poop, and is ready for his new, but also historic, mission:
"Claiming the opposite."
You will say: the opposite of what?
OF anything that is materially provable. That the moon exists. That nitrogen is a gas present in the atmosphere. That the force of gravity is related to mass. That the dead are dead.
There are two characteristics of the scemifreddo:
- "Argues the opposite" with a learned air. It is not enough for him to say that the Moon does not exist. He talks about it as if he knew a lot about this thing. As if to reproach you for not having read the Unity and the Manifesto carefully, otherwise you too would know that the Moon does not exist. The moon does not exist, but you must feel ignorant because you do not know it.
- "Argues the opposite" taking care to insinuate that anyone who does not is pakato from capitalism. Because the problem isn't just that the moon doesn't exist. Everyone sees that, he explains. The problem is that you believe it exists, because it suits you.
You may think that this is the portrait of any conspiracy theorist, but this is not the case: our hero saw the world end together with the Berlin Wall. In the face of nonsense like the covid or the Antichrist he remains completely calm, adamantine.
But then Russia comes into play. And not just any Russia. What do I know, Russia that makes Vodka. Ninth. When a Russia like that of the Cold War comes into play, with tanks and war and propaganda and all Folklore , THEN our hero wakes up.
And it goes immediately on TV. And he says there is a Nazi government in Ukraine.
Now, that Ukraine is an extravagant democracy (parties are divided between pro-Russian and non-pro-Russian) is true. There are those from the Azov Battalion, too. But the favorite party of those in the Azov Battalion took less than 2% in the last elections, and the number of sympathizers is less than the number of Nazis in Germany or Italy. (ok, ok, for the cold fools, Italy is a Nazi regime, and you shouldn't make comparisons like that so as not to activate them). It is inferior because there to be a Nazi you have to fight, and not all those who play cool beating gays are also willing to go and beat Russians. The Russians are another soup to swallow.
But the scemifreddo won't notice. Used to saying that in the USSR it was okay, that there was no regime, that everything was under control in Chernobyl, our hero has no problem saying that a genocide of Russians was taking place in the dombass (to say the true it was under the control of the Russians, but okay), imagine if he will have trouble saying that Ukraine is run by a Nazi government.
The funny thing about Nazism is that they only notice where it exists: when they support the Syrian regime (which has always been a friend of the Russians) they do not realize that the party in power is the Baath, that is, a Nazi party formed by the German Nazis against the British. They see Nazism everywhere, except where it exists.
Now, why are cold fools regularly invited on TV? They are invited because they take away space for opposing voices that could say interesting or shareable things.
And how come they manage to survive? The answer is that healthy journalism is not neutral but objective. I mean, if two people say, one that it's raining outside and the other that it's not raining outside, the reporter doesn't have to be neutral, but he has to be objective, open the window and show what happens.
But this does not happen. When there are two contradictory opinions, Italian journalism responds like this:
"They are all right".
And with that, what to say?
That sooner or later the idiots will die, given their average age.
