This is how a country, a people, a system is exhausted: Conte’s latest threat, the TSO for those who refuse the vaccine

They told you forty years ago, when you thought that life was a beginning of joy, you would not have believed it. But not even if they told you a year ago, when the leaves of illusions have fallen, you would have believed it. Instead it's all true, this Prime Minister is real, no one elected, who throws there, as if nothing had happened, the possibility of mass internment for those who will not accept a vaccine that is still mysterious. In the complicit silence of a President of the Republic who no longer knows how to perceive. In the collaborationist subjection of a class of walkers and weak thinkers who push themselves to explain that a Christmas without Christmas is the best Christmas possible. Like the philosopher-Liala, Michela Marzano, the one that “love is the only thing I know about love”.

Had they told us, we would never have believed it. We still tell each other, and we still don't believe it. In the hands of a man who now seems to be in a delirium of omnipotence, shocked by paranoia, blackmailed by allies who saw the trap door under his chair. A character created in drums by those strange alchemies of power that you never know whether to interpret as the result of a malicious case or a terrifying design. One that has reduced the Parliament far beyond the bivouac of handfuls of ducesca memory. Which now commands by decree without Colle and the Constitutional Court fiatino, ever. Which is the protagonist of a reality show , inspired by a professional in the sector. One who does not tolerate inappropriate questions, for example on the curious aporia for which "his" model is the best in the world despite having unleashed the worst death in the world, yet insists on a delusional strategy aimed at destroying what remains of an economic system and social; with such damned obstinacy that, once again, one does not understand whether it is the result of recklessness or a remote direction. No question about the approximately one thousand deaths in a day, officially due to viruses, more realistically to a doped count, however to structural deficiencies that someone may have also wanted, accomplished, and, instead, the wealth of details on the girlfriend, mentioned by name, defense with all the arrogant weight of power: a display of bad grace, of bad institutional sensitivity, gossip transfused into self-referential power.

But let's go back to the most disturbing phrase, the allusion to compulsory medical treatment for those who are refractory to the megavaccino, something that had never been heard, perhaps not even under fascism; furthermore aggravated by the unanimous announcement of the most massive, invasive, obsessive media campaign to launch the vaccine panacea, even if it were not a supermarket product. There is a strong feeling of a loss of sense, of collective measure, aggravated by a clear state of weakness and sometimes of ambiguity in the oppositions: now everything is passing, the radical denial of fundamental freedoms such as the Mes trap, concentrationary threats such as the repeated lies, the fiscal aggression such as the mockery of alms in the form of "refreshments" that should save restaurants that are in fact prevented from restoring.

They have managed to weaken any spirit, people complain, yes, but like someone who is prey to resignation and waits for nothing, a meteorite, a black swan, the improbable providence of an indifferent god in the face of the indifference of men. The Christmas that will not be there is precisely for this, to mirror in the extinguished lights the extinguishing of consciences, of souls. Be that as it may, there is only one certainty of tomorrow: that we will remain with our wings bandaged, like today, like yesterday, like, for better or worse, for a year now. We were told in March that it was necessary to lock ourselves up to have a free Easter; at Easter we were told that it was necessary to remain locked up to have a free summer; in the summer we were told that it was appropriate not to abuse a parole to have a free autumn; in the fall they told us that it was necessary to lock ourselves up again to have a free Christmas; at Christmas they told us that it is inevitable to lock ourselves up to have a free Easter: and it will be a year that has never been lived, and they will tell us that it will be our duty to lock ourselves up to have a free summer …

This is how a country, a people, a system is exhausted. To the point that nobody knows how to take responsibility for thinking anymore. Already on social media, one feels spied, judged, guilty if he barely breaks from the dominant Narrative: weakened, frightened, re-infantilized minds. The scene of Conte hypothesizing asylum hospitalizations for vaccine skeptics is atrocious, but more atrocious is the silence that, on an institutional and cultural level, has followed. They told us just yesterday.
