Labolla vs the sciura Maria

Excuse me, before going to study the timetable of the FDD (Ferrovie dei decreti), to understand how many trains are passing and which wagons to attach to which train (in the supreme interest of the country, including that of those of you rightly squinting at it. – and I understand them!), I wanted to briefly elaborate a point of the previous post, that of the alleged superiority of the sciura Maria over Labolla as a thermometer of the situation in the country.

Labolla would be, to understand, "my bubble on social media" (ie you). In short, we are talking about the idea that "ordinary people" do not stay on social networks, that the latter would therefore by definition be an unrepresentative sample, both in quantitative terms (because they are accessed by a small fraction of the population) and qualitative (because they cultured segments of the population access). It follows therefore that I would not understand what is happening or what is about to happen (which I have given you here, and numerous proofs remain in the records), while to understand what happens one would have to consult the sciura Maria (which, I suppose, is done by iSondaggi).

I state that, even if you do not see it (but take a closer look), I am a person full of doubts (or empty of certainties), one who, before writing a number here, checks it six times on twelve different sources even if he knows it, one who thinks about it seventy times seven times before expressing an evaluation. So I have doubts even in this case, and they derive from the fact that I know when I got it right, I also know when they messed up the others, but while I have complete visibility on myself and on the reasons for my evaluations (and you also have you when I can share them), I don't have complete visibility on others. I mean, to be clear and by way of example, that in general I don't know if certain decisions to the test of the inappropriate facts were made by listening to the sciura Maria (but I can assume so). Let's take a case to fix the ideas: everyone knows, because the agencies said so and the newspapers made it clear, that in the political secretariat of February 4, 2021 I, while leninistically putting myself back to the will of the majority of the secretariat and seeing some advantages of the choice of support the Government (trivially: the possibility of sitting at the tables creating the conditions to prepare a minimum replacement), expressed an opposition based on the fact that this choice would have caused a considerable loss of consensus, as it was then. So I was right (with a few others including Siri) and the others wrong. But while I know I was right because I listened to Labolla (that is, you), I don't know if the others were wrong because they listened to the sciura Maria. I do not know what they said or if there were any polls that affirmed the opportunity of a responsible and credible choice, etc.

I do not know and, I add, I prefer not to know, also because, as I am about to show you, the chatter is zero for a simple reason: the sciura Maria does not exist and above all if she existed she would not vote. The poor sciura made the effort to vote only once, when we gave her the hope of a change, and therefore , of course, she put the electoral card not in the drawer but in the dumpster when we supported something that facts is not only not change, but neither is it conservation, because it seems clear to me that everything is going well here, starting with the PNRR "that the productive North wants it …" :

However, we have talked enough about the PNRR here, so let's go back to our analysis of the hegemony of the sciura Maria (which rhymes, but does not "make sense", as the awanagana say).

We are helped in this examination by an article not surprising (for us, or at least for me) published in Libero with the usual title shock (the etymology this spelling commands). He discovers Tecnè, one of the many haruspices that foresee the future by scrutinizing the bowels of the sciura Maria, who:

The article should be read to appreciate the refinement (it is an antiphrase: I say this because there are so many noobs here) of the analytical categories used by the haruspice Buttaroni, who, among other things, realizes that the left has abandoned the last and the penultimate (but go?), and goes so far as to hypothesize (not explicitly) that in the administrative counts the vote of opinion …

But who would have thought that?

The fact is that if those of the sciura Maria have made a business we come lellero lellero to say that the sciura Maria no longer votes, in the meantime we are announcing the end of a business (that, in fact, of the haruspex of the sciura Maria: and it was time!) , and then suggests de Labolla's supremacy. Of course. Perhaps it would be appropriate to go back to worrying about the vote of those who vote, rather than that of those who do not vote, and at this stage the few who have or believe they have some awareness of the processes in place will vote.

So obviously not me, who have been totally unaware of the processes taking place in this country for eleven years, as this blog demonstrates, and who are also haughtily distant from the people, as this slide demonstrates:

(… who knows who is the lively ninety year old on my left wins a weekend in Milano Marittima with the sciura Maria …)
