Tertium non datur

Black or white, left or right, PDL or PDminusL. Tertium non datur. You have to be either here or there. There are no other places to go. Freedom lies in the possibility to remove yourself from this choice, but we have no choice. You are classified. Communist or anticommunist. Racist or non-racist. Fascist or non-fascist. It’s the triumph of the forked conformism. The same snake’s tongue split in half. However you choose, the System classifies you. It labels you. It cancels you out. It’s a two-dimensional world that has the same substance as nothing. The “no global” are, have to be, anarchical insurrectionists, “nimby”s, ne'er-do-wells. The Left is always progressive even with Bersani’s face, the Right is conservative, with any face. The world goes round and you stay still in this induced mental paralysis. But instead you can jump a level. It depends on you. Tertium datur, even quartum, even quintum! Think of the most dangerous action for the System. Do it. Do it now. Think. If to state that it’s necessary to understand the origins of violence, apart from condemning it, it’s revolutionary, as happened with Equitalia, thus this dual Country, this country that’s binary, 0 or 1, is on its knees, terrorised that the Italains can leave the enclosure where they have been shut in. Outside there’s the unknown. The train lines are safer. But on horseback you can leap to the side, change direction, no engine driver decides for you where you are going. Safety is the drug of the mind. The opiate that offers you the “tertium non datur” is so simple, tranquil, relaxing. You can choose between two non-choices. Form a relationship with the flock. Turn round in the same direction. There’s no red pill and blue pill. There are always two pills, both grey but different shades of grey. There’s only one choice. The old folk in command of this Nation, Napolitano and Monti, are pure chloroform, anaesthetising. Spread or default? I want infinity. They will never give up (but is it in their interests?). Neither will we. See you in Parliament!

Interesting that despite Monti being in charge (subject to doing what Berlusconi and his friends want) the same political faces that have brought Italy to the verge of economic destruction are still there offering advice. While they call for sacrifices from the people they have not said what sacrifices they intend to make such as reducing their obscene double salaries, pensions and privileges or cracking down on the tax havens and rich who have offshore accounts rather than investigating whether shopkeepers have not declared a few euro.
It is time to rid the Chigi of all these corrupt and incompetent people once and for all and bring in a new fresh honest team to sort out the country

I dont want to pay road tax if i dont use my car and I keep it parked on my private property where I pay already the ICI or whatever it's called now...isnt that tax enough? I don't want to pay tv licence if in exchange I m getting rubbish tv programs where so many ppl participate and getting paid for doing nothing but just showing their almost naked body or even worse...paid to arguing and fighting on live tv... I won't pay tv licence to be force upon to watch advertisement and I can go on and on with things that are not fair on Italian people!!! We want Freedom !!!!! Enough is enough like Beppe said the politicians from left and right they are all the same they are GREY they ruined our beautiful country ..is about time that they start to listen to the people and work for the interest of the italians and this beautiful country that I left 18 yrs ago let Italy to flourish and not to fell into the dark age of mediaival time!!!! Beppe for president !!! Yes he can!!!!

I'm not sure I get your drift Beppe. Communist and anti-communist, fascist and anti-fascist, racist and anti-racist you say it's "forked conformism...the snake's tongue split in half." All the same? If that's what you mean you're kidding, right? You say,"...the System classifies you?... it labels you. It cancels you out..." You're right, the system pigeon-holes people, political parties, religions, races and so on. A slot awaits M5S in Parliament, like other slots await PD-L, PDL, Lega (I hope not) and the rest of the political organizations. And freedom doesn't lie in the possibility to exempt yourself from being classified. Freedom is a money-less society.
