Dear Director Feltri,
are you following the Olympics? What do you think?
Simone Villa
Dear Simone,
I am not following the Olympics as a fan but as a curious journalist and information consumer who reads the newspapers and watches the news, which obviously tell us what is happening in Paris these days. I am not interested in any discipline, except fencing, having been a fencer myself as a boy, not at high competitive levels, but I admit that I was pretty good at it. Little curiosity: as a child I trained with Maria Luisa Trussardi, also a skilled swordswoman. So, I can tell you my opinion on the world games not as an expert but as an observer, or rather as a spectator like you are.
The predominant aspect of these Olympics is that it is as if sport had taken a back seat. Ideology prevails over everything. And this has happened since the very beginning, that is, starting with the opening show, in which Christian values were desecrated by staging the representation of the Last Supper, mixed with elements of Greek polytheism, in which drag queens, or transvestites, if we want to use the Italian language and not the Anglicisms, dressed up as the apostles and Jesus Christ. We have already discussed this extensively, and controversies have arisen, which have not yet died down, so I will not insist on this point, which deserved to be mentioned anyway. The opening ceremony cost, according to the French media, the grand total of 122 million euros. Do you know how much was spent to clean the Seine and thus allow athletes to swim in it without running the concrete risk of catching some disease or finding themselves in the water with rats and woodlice? 1.4 billion euros. Was it useful? No, since the aquatic competitions that should have taken place in the river were suspended for days precisely because of water pollution. So much waste of public resources, too much ideology, too much fashion of thought applied even to sports, too much inefficiency.
The left-wing culture wanted to leave its mark on these Olympics, which have become the Olympics of contradictions. This is why athletes are forced to sleep on uncomfortable cardboard beds, on recycled plastic mattresses that cause back pain, food is said to be scarce in the canteen, so much so that it has to be rationed, but what matters is to flaunt environmentalism, inclusivism and other similar bullshit.
These are also the anti-feminist Games par excellence, despite the left’s claims to fight sexism. Women were excluded from the opening ceremony, where gay men and transvestites triumphed and, as if that were not enough, today, Thursday, August 1st, an Algerian boxing champion, Imane Khelif, a man in all respects, born male and biologically male, as demonstrated by the DNA test that detected the presence of male chromosomes, will be allowed to compete with a woman, the Italian Angela Carini, despite the fact that there is an evident, undeniable and incontrovertible disproportion between the two, the first having the strength and physical power of a male and the second having the strength and power of a female, who is scientifically inferior. A competition, therefore, that will not take place on equal terms and that puts our Angela Carini in serious difficulty, who will have to parry the blows of a man and respond. And the left-wing feminists remain silent. The reason? It’s logical: once again the typical progressive short circuit has been triggered, which is difficult to resolve.
On the one hand, there is the claim to recognize that the only valid gender identity is the one that the individual chooses and perceives of himself, regardless of the sex with which he comes into the world; on the other, there is the battle against violence against women. It seems that for the radical chic this can be tolerated if the perpetrator is a male who believes and declares himself to be female.
The Olympics have never been so folkloristic.
