The country's climate is heavy. But those who aimed to make it incandescent with strikes, blocking of ports and demonstrations against the green pass yesterday remained with a handful of flies in hand. Of course, nothing is taken for granted. The G20 summit will take place in Rome on October 30th. I fear that some hotheads consider that appointment as an opportunity to revive the nefarious Genoese July twenty years ago. We'll see.

“There is nothing here: neither right nor left. Here you live day to day, between holy water and mineral water ”, said Leo Longanesi. Paraphrasing the great aphorist from Romagna, here we live a parody of civil war between the "Executioner who gives up!" and the “No pasarán!”. Be careful though. In Europe, in the first decades of the twentieth century, the anger and fear of the impoverished middle classes were captured by totalitarian regimes. Today in Italy they are pampered by the populist right, ready to put their hats on all forms of social protest and unscientific meteorism that swells the belly of anti-vaccinists.

In their sacred representations, Satan's clothes are identical: the state of the bosses, the caste of politicians, big finance, the military-industrial complex, the strong powers, Freemasonry, the Bildemberg "clique". Nothing surprising, because populism is not an ideology, but a syndrome based on two deep-rooted convictions: that the people are the repositories of the truth and that they are, at the same time, the victims of scams, deceptions, persecutions.

In this sense, it can be said that populism is a neo-pagan religion in which the people are God, a God who worships himself. On the fire of populism, then, blows the Net, that is to say the symbol of modernity. Thanks to the web, crusades against the infidels are launched, the lords of the Earth who incessantly weave their plots to better dominate the world of the humble, the weak, the serfs.

Evidence and documents are missing, but who cares? Their absence, for these followers without their knowledge of Madame Blavatsky's esotericism, is the best confirmation that Evil acts in secret. It is therefore not surprising that the no vax galaxy, in which fragments of anarchist subversivism and grassroots syndicalism are active, is considered by some political force as a potential treasure trove of consensus.

And if you want to play their game, you can continue to invoke the dissolution of Forza Nuova and ramble on who is outside the constitutional fence (“yoi soy Giorgia” understood this). This is instead the time of firmness not only on the reasons for anti-fascism, but above all on the operational choices to eradicate the pandemic. Without giving in, therefore, to the somewhat seductive seductions of the “citizenship buffer” or of national pacification, a night in which all cats are gray. Luckily Draghi is there.
