WHAT WE'VE BECOME
“I am a worthless subhuman, a living breathing disgrace. All my (in real life) friends outgrew me act like they didn’t f**king know me. Being me was so f**king humiliating. That’s why I spend all day dissociating”

THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN
"What is the right, what is the left", sang, mockingly, italian singer-songwriter, playwright, actor, cabaret artist, guitarist and theater director Giorgio Gaber in 1994.
The song focuses on the contrast between a long series of clichés - at times even improbable, ironic, or paradoxical - attributable, by stereotype, to one ideology or another. It is Gaber himself who specifies how the differences in substance between the two parts, going beyond mere appearance or folkloristic aspects, appear to have become difficult to identify.
"Com'è dolce naufragar in questo mar"
Nowadays, the question appears even more tangled. In the midst of postmodern chaos, completely adrift in the shipwreck of every cornerstone, we happen to witness scenes and scenarios that are, to say the least, unusual.
The Woke culture, the cancel culture, on the one hand, have redefined the concept of the left, a radical, authoritarian, violent, intolerant, post-feminist and post-human left, while the institutional left, fully integrated, attached to the armchairs, seems to have completely abandoned the anti-capitalist struggle.
On the other, an unseemly populist right that calls itself nationalist, sovereignist, traditionalist, ultra-capitalist, God forbid, led by techno-plutocrats, but, at the same time, incredibly liberal, in favor of pornography and prostitution - see the past of the new American president - anti-prohibitionist (?), even promoter of freedom of speech and against censorship.
In the meantime, as the natural disaster grows, neo colonialism come to power...
Dear Gaber, your verses need to be updated: "the new left is the new right and the new right is the new left".
Am I dreaming or am I awake?
We're living in a motherfucking, chemically imbalaced, upside-down world.
Confusion is the new religion.

"L.A. is vast. It is a city and a county. It is a global place, a Pacific Rim space, a ‘Third World’ metropolis. It has all the contradictions of the world and all the world is condensed in it. The homes of rich, poor, middle class, Black, white, Asian, Latino have burned. Fire is coming for all of us”

JUSTICE FOR ALL GLO RE D 07 01 25
That day was an American calamity.
Lawmakers huddled for safety. Vice President Mike Pence eluded a mob shouting that he should be hanged. Several people died during and after the riot, including one protester by gunshot and four police officers by suicide, and more than 140 officers were injured in a protracted melee that nearly upended what should have been the routine certification of the electoral victory of Mr. Trump’s opponent, Joseph R. Biden Jr...
