Minus two (some previews on #goofy12)
(… minus two days per click day …)
I would highly suggest taking a look at this:
even if on closer inspection those who wanted (couldn't, everyone can: wanted) to understand what I'm explaining have already understood it, and to those who don't want to we wish them a good continuation elsewhere.
FIN DAY went rather well, despite the fact that a certain number of you (those who abandoned the blue toilet and don't trust its restyling ) had no idea that it had been announced and therefore were unable to participate. The fact is that I have just returned from a rather intense September, in which I was unable to maintain high interaction with you, and therefore those who are used to meeting here in many cases did not take note of the announcement which had also been made.
Better this way: next time, if necessary, with more work you will have a better response.
The non-existent community was discussed in very small meetings and in group meetings, and as Claudio had announced, the non-existent community aroused amazement even in those who in fact should have been aware of its existence, because they had had the privilege of being she welcomed, and curiosity, sometimes contained by the barrier of nervous smug smiles, sometimes animated by a genuine spirit of understanding. And maybe it's about time someone understood . Because, very simply, what was, is, and will be normal for us, that is, filling the rooms, is not normal for others. Numbers wear out those who don't have them. And those older in terms of militancy, and more intellectually honest (I won't mention them so as not to put them in difficulty), confessed to me, perhaps a little naively, but with tones of sincerity, that for them, who had been engaged in a political journey that had had ups and downs, entering this room :
it had been a marked experience: "It had been a while since we had seen so many people, and they were people we didn't know!" Evidently there are politicians who can see people who aren't there (i.e. you!): we could call it the sixth sense. There are also politicians who don't understand where it comes from and what the consensus is that has brought them to where they are: there are some in Rome, but also and above all around Italy. The experiment carried out by Borghi did not claim to be conclusive, but it certainly led many to ask themselves questions. Even in this case, those who do not want to understand will not understand, but those who do wish can now do so.
We can roll up all the idiocies of political scientists about the fluid electorate and send them back to the sender: you are not fluid, you granitically want to be free, and you want it largely because, and since when, here you have been shown by how many and what chains you were and are enthralled. The fact that there were necessary tactical retreats for the reasons described in the first video, retreats that would have left people on the ground, as was inevitable and as I personally highlighted in the political secretariat (in good company: with Siri), led to slippages. There are people who don't even understand ex post what happened, how vital it was to prevent the Brussels scheme from being proposed again in Rome, the Ursula majority, a majority that would have given immediate green light to ius soli , the Zan and property law. It is not so difficult to understand that our presence in the Government made it impracticable for FI to collapse on the positions of the PD, which instead would have been extremely easy and easily justifiable if there had been everyone in the Government except the "fascists" (i.e. FdI and us). The political project of the Good Ones would have been easier if the Good Ones and the Bad Ones had been demarcated by a clear line. But we made this impossible: by entering the iBuoni team, the bad iLekisti messed up the scheme, forcing the center component of the Draghi Government to have to choose whether to side with the left or the "government" right, and therefore having to report to the their voters if they were attracted to the left or the right.
The nazarene has become so impractical, and this is what saved our wallets and other things that are not specific to elegance.
But, obviously, we certainly couldn't ask those who didn't understand it ex post to understand it ex ante .
Inevitably someone thought that his request for freedom had been evaded, with the aggravating circumstance that it seemed that the person who had frustrated this legitimate expectation was precisely the one who had given rise to it and nourished it. Predicted outcome because predictable. To those who want to think, I would instead point out that the objective result of our move is that ex post the game has been completely reversed: now we are in a position to bring Rome's scheme to Brussels: a centre-right made up of three parties and opposed to the red-green slime. The opposite of what the PD wanted, of what we managed to prevent. And if the game plan was reversed it is also because some of us, despite being fully aware of the risks that would be run in terms of holding the elections (unlike the happy geese who really believed that the people loved Draghi), agreed to stay for a year and a half with his head under water (as I explain in the first video), pledging not to undermine the unity of the team he had welcomed. Allowing oneself to be shredded by the newspapers more than they have done would not have made the slightest sense, it would have weakened not the happy geese (who would have been asked to account by time, the sole judge of politics), but us (among the applause as thunderous, intoxicating, as useless of the noisy crowd in the blue toilet, i.e. of the zero point of Italian voters).
In short: we have been talking about the technical points we need to go through in order to be able to say we are free again for years and there is no point in continuing. I repeat: those who wanted to understand understood. If you see other political paths to freedom, I'm here to listen. But if you don't want to understand what happened, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. Grillanza has only one cure: lots and lots of suffering, as Céline said . I certainly cannot administer it to you, more for reasons of time than for the crucial ethical reasons, and I would still prefer it not to be necessary!
In two days you will have another chance to signal your existence alive: click day . I suggest not to miss it. This year's goofy returns to the classic pattern, from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon. A choice we made at the request of many who for practical reasons (logistical, economic, work) are unable to leave home for three days. We are also returning to the old by proposing a significant international presence, which we had abandoned during the COVID years for practical and organizational reasons. We will then hear the click of the receivers again on the floor of the room, which however will not be that of the Serena Majestic, but that of the hotel next door (which required a further organizational effort, to describe the event, carry out inspections, etc.).
The event is divided into two sections: scenarios and narratives. There are two scenarios we will analyze: dedollarization and inflation. There are two narratives we will decipher: progress and transition. You partly know who we will do it with, and partly you will know. You will see speakers you already know, and you will meet speakers you don't yet know. Over many years you should have learned to trust and therefore I have no particular need to ply you with sensational announcements (which I could do). I have long learned not to trust anyone who doesn't trust me, and if they stay at home I'll be very pleased! The fact is that in the end, despite (or thanks to) all the effort that the a/simmetrie staff puts in, the quality of the event is up to you. And since the latest troubled events I mentioned above have separated us from the ballast of a fair number of #ppdm, I am sure that this year's edition will be, like every year, better than the previous one. The Best did one good thing: he made the #goofy a defetechized area (to the extent humanly possible).
Let's make the most of it and spend a nice weekend together!
