Let’s try to give some poetic color to the black and white news that circulate on the web, below are some of the most clicked facts of the week seen through a color filter
Ballerina Farm and the Submissive Women
On one side the woke, on the other end of the pendulum Ballerina Farm. The case of Ballerina Farm, an American influencer queen of the “trad-wives”, that is, traditional wives, who lives on a farm with her husband and eight children leading a country life and a traditional and religious marriage, has caused much discussion. Here the feminist court has issued the sentence: she cannot. A woman cannot freely choose to “submit” to a man, sacrifice her career and build a large family with this sacrifice. As usual, freedom is right, but only if it is used to do what ideology says.
In Togo to “get treatment” because he is gay
The world is becoming extreme and polarized, and not just “on the left”. A sixteen-year-old from Milan of Togolese origin was taken and held in Togo to “get treatment” because he was homosexual. The effect of constant, perennial and pervasive woke propaganda is also this: to extremize positions. It is nice to continue dreaming of a utopian world in which everyone is free to be and do what they want, respecting others and without wanting to impose their vision on the rest of the world at all costs. Utopia. The best place to escape to.
Taylor Swift and ISIS
Taylor Swift was supposed to perform some concerts in Austria, but she had to cancel them due to terrorist threats from ISIS. The debate is reopened once again, the finger is pointed at Islamic communities, who point the finger at America. But pointing fingers does not solve the problem and a deep effort made by all together, Muslims and non-Muslims, here in the West, is needed to prevent young people from becoming radicalized and transforming religion into a violent and deadly political ideology. Many of them are radicalized online, why don’t we start right there?
Verdone and Roman aesthetics
If Verdone says so too, we are in a good position. Carlo Verdone has raised his voice against the situation of contemporary Rome, which with each passing day seems less and less like a capital and more and more like a third world city. Dirt, fires, seagulls… More than “caput mundi” from Verdone’s description it seems like a city in a developing country. He is a bit of a symbol of the capital and its spirit, he has told it with his art. If he raises this voice it is as if an alarm bell is ringing, it is definitely time to take cover. On the other hand Rome is the city of power, and therefore of corruption, Fellini has not told it as saintly (and neither has D’Agostino). Perhaps Rome has simply lost its aesthetics. That is where it should start again.
Macron’s Olympics
Between satanic ceremonies, LGBTQ propaganda, sewer swimming and disorganization, the Paris Olympics will not be remembered as the most brilliant in the history of this sporting competition.
Medals, joys and disappointments follow one another, but what will probably remain of all this in the memory will be the taste of Macronism, worn and badly placed papier-mâché to hide a grandeur that had stopped shining for a long time. Here. Macron.
