The envy of ideology.

There is one thing that I personally notice in the Italian debate on Meloni. And it is that astonished silence that there is in the left when they discover that no, they will never be able to recover, and not only will they no longer be able to win: they probably won't even be able to return to the field.

The problem is not to say that Meloni is who knows what. She is a provincial apprentice who will probably get hurt or hurt the country. The pity is that he cannot lose anyway, even if he fulfills the prophecy of "heavily armed male females". If you don't know him, you are a tardigrade.

The problem is to understand that Meloni still has one thing, that in the other parties it has disappeared, and it comes from the militancy in the FdG, that is the Youth Front, the youth movement of the MSI.

Those who went to high school in the 80s remember them well. They were those three losers, the only three in school (at least in Emilia. Elsewhere I suppose they were more) who had the courage to call themselves "fascists" (and often to take blows from the majority.

And they were the ones who, in the course of 5 years, more or less had invited everyone to spend an afternoon with their "ideologue" in their headquarters. And I really mean everyone, including those with my period reputation.

Almost all of them answered disdainfully no, I (who also slip into the incel forums to understand what they are talking about) tend to get my idea for myself.

So, you went to this place (not very different from the headquarters of the PCI), you enter and you see a big black flag that says "Europe Nation West Revolution". In short, different from the red flags. But you didn't expect the word revolution. However, in the end, like all venues, there are bookstores with magazines you didn't suspect existed and books with interesting but rather warlike titles. And a lot of japan.

At a certain point an "ideologue" arrives. That since there is a new one, then you have to do two hours of pissing about how bad the others who have it with us are, and he begins to explain to me a philosophy lesson on Gentile.

Now, since Gentile we had studied him in philosophy, and he knows it, he does not expand much, and he explains to you for a moment this hierarchy of forces that push man.

1. Spirit
2. Reason
3. Matter

In short, like all idealists, Gentile puts the world of ideas (of course: according to humanistic culture) above that of matter (we grim technicians with cold numbers), but at the top he adds a kind of tinsel, which they call "spirit".

And it's up to the spirit to guard those two pricks of humanistic culture and science: the spirit knows what is right and what is not, without having to think like philosophers do or evaluate how scientists do. He knows the right thing, he acts without thinking, he acts before he thinks, and usually he does it by beating his hands.

It is not clear what this spirit is, that a little is linked to tradition, a little to sport, a little to the samurai, a little to alcohol, however the spirit does not need to think and tells you what to do, without needing of thought. In fact, concludes the ideologue, fascism does not have an ideology because it limits itself to acting without thinking.

Obviously, since you are surrounded you do not specify aloud the fact that "you go where your ass throws but be sure you look like a bugger idiot while you do it" is a lot like the recipe for a disaster, because the guy is dressing everything up with a epic testosterone and adrenaline, that all the others eventually leave and go to the bar Polonia just for the sake of invading it. It's tradition, darling.

In any case, even if it goes to butt, the "spirit" seems to follow the strong winds of ideals, which are not ideals but "urgencies", and therefore these urgent concepts, these irresistible urges to action, always follow the lines guide, written in tradition, in a mythological past, where all the truths of every people are written once and for all, etc., etc., etc. To follow these irresistible urgencies for them is to "believe".

In short: spirit = ideals + epic. (unless a constant, which are punches).

In Bologna, however, a guy was strong, ale Valerio Falko Zecchini, who made futurist shows like this:

I could go on and on, but you can find the character here:

But to understand what it has to do with fascism, perhaps you should see this:

They didn't always listen to insane people: the rest of their music is SKA, but I don't remember exactly which wave. Because I remembered SKA as Jamaican and London music, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JqaGflZIL0 . And I also did security at Estragon, so I remember it well. But okay. What the hell does it have to do with fascism only they know.

In two words, Gentile with boxing gloves. Even boring. Let's say I hit my limit when Irving walked in. Because Irving was also in the FdG.

Why am I talking about one of the most boring afternoons of my youth? Because this was the standard formation of those who are in power today as "fascists". Talking about ideals without saying these ideals (you don't need to: it's action, not ideology), giving them an epic using warlike language, and trying to get out of it alive.

But the sum of ideals and epics makes politics what you take to the streets to shout sloagan with your eyes closed. Especially if the ideas are described in a smoky way and everything is done in the light of this irresistible attraction for an ideal light that in the end no one analyzes, so what matters is the action. And then, by dint of acting, we take to the streets to shout things and do shit, without wondering why not to hinder the spirit while doing stupid but extremely epic things.

And this quixotic has its own charm. First because teenagers like epic, they literally NEED epic. And second, because the epic in politics sells very well.

In short, to date Meloni and the others when you question them always answer you with granite positions of principle, stainless ideals, things that you could shout in the square with your eyes closed, like when you kiss.

And this is what the left no longer has: ideals.

By dint of talking about the budget, the economy, rules, law and the rule of law, the left has completely lost sight of ideals. But the ones with a capital I, the ones that don't make sense but yell them all the same because you're young. A type of ideal, however, which is steeped in emotions. The presumed sublimation, on the ethical level, of adhering to a political program, or the "political mysticism".

And the point is, Meloni and the others don't really seem epic to us. But the problem is that, they are the perfect recipe for a disaster or not (acting without thinking, better if in a violent and bellicose way, is one of the best recipes for a disaster), these ideas resonate every time Meloni speaks.

Meloni, like all those who left the FdG, have this particular ability to express themselves, speaking first of ideals, then of ideas, and finally of ratio. This is something that obviously derives from a precise indoctrination, and until you really get to the bottom you don't notice that behind the Chinese wall of very high bullshit all that remains is that we do this because we want to fight. and who cares about how it ends.

How can the left react? He can react by raising a whole series of bullshit, but the problem is that over time they have faded. By dint of but, because I distinguish, perhaps, it depends, everything that is left does not excite. You can bring out all the PCI folklore, but if you don't have the epic part and can't produce momentum, all you get is a party with obvious prostate problems.

This education, which completely pervades the way of speaking about men (mystically and evolvingly speaking, Giorgia Meloni is a man: if you don't believe it, try to touch it in the Kali Yuga) of FdI is steeped in this experience.

And that's why the people who vote for it believe it. They believe that he will do this and that not because he says it or because he is convincing: all this does not matter, it is that thinking that destroys action. They believe, and they believe because they believe, or because they feel an inexplicable and irrational, irresistible urge to do this without wasting time thinking about it.

This is why, at least in these elections, they won. People perceive something that other parties don't have.

I repeat: it doesn't matter that acting without thinking is a recipe for disaster: they act because they believe. And Italian politics hasn't seen anyone putting things on "believing" for quite some time.

And they are both envious and frightened of this.

Why don't they know? Why don't the leftists know they desperately need EPIC and IDEALS, in which to BELIEVE without thinking too much? There are several reasons.

The first is that they don't study the opponent. When I agreed to go and spend a Saturday afternoon at the front (so said the three-numbered FdG guys at my school when they weren't being beaten) I also wanted to understand. I knew, more or less, that me and those people would never get along.

But knowing WHY, in my life, is essential. This is why I go into the incel forums, rather than talk about it without understanding. For this I ride for 4chan. For this I am also subscribed to the breitbart mailing list.

Because you can't, regardless, control something you don't know. And if you don't control it, it not only indoctrinates you, you lose the election as well.

But the leftist does not have this approach, because he does not like to accumulate experience, he loves to accumulate prejudices. He doesn't dive into a group just to see what he's really like: he prefers to read somewhere his stale opinion of tomorrow, that is, his prejudices.

And so, they cannot understand the tremendous, silent power of political mysticism: that container of imperatives, actions without reason and without practical sense, of epic without agreed upon, of values ​​that are mentioned but never explained, that capital of "creed ”Which today has attracted citizens, tired of a party that now looks like a club of GLBT accountants.

After all, you can rest assured that if the fascists were to decide tomorrow to admit homosexuality, they would find a way to make it epic: just a little, a jump in ancient Greece and away: Macedonian phalanxes and go.

The population NEEDED this. She NEEDS romantic ideals, EPICA, by now she is tired of a life that gets worse and worse in the name of treaties, budget and good governance.

The left has lost because it has always refused to KNOW the opponent, preferring the cultivation of contemptuous prejudices to close observation.

And so, Meloni and her party do nothing but give the people what they are desperately thirsty for: an EPIC of ABSOLUTE and IRRESISTIBLE IDEALS.

You can feel this vibration when she goes to Europe, she doesn't finish a shit but “comes back as a winner”. You can see it when it invokes "naval blockades" when in reality it will implement some form of bureaucracy. Everything is a clash, a struggle, which brings the flag, the ideals, the struggle into play.

And that's what Italians are THIRST for today. And to say it all, not just the Italians.
