With no ifs and buts

talpa.jpg

With no ifs and buts. The bipartisan political condemnation has no room for debate. There’s never any doubt or questioning. If Mussolini was ALWAYS right, the politicians are even more so. “With no ifs and buts” is a new verbal trench, the new battle front along the Piave river. Have a go at a discussion in the face of a statement by a Big Gun or a landowning guy decked out with a final “no ifs and buts”. Impossible. You are already guilty of armed insurrection with no ifs and buts. The thinking of the “no ifs and buts” people obviously makes no provision for any ifs and buts. It’s a single thought that gives of its best when it is accompanied by indignation. A solitary neuron that needs solace. The gasparization of politics has run its course. By now Gasparri seems to be the most intelligent one in the group.
Italy is a great country and it will manage to get out of the crisis” (with no ifs and buts), “The Great Public Works are necessary” (with no ifs and buts), “We have to stay in Afghanistan” (with no ifs and buts), “The Italian Constitution is the best possible one” (with no ifs and buts). The “if” is a subversive and the “but” is a delinquent. The dogma is the only possible reasoning in that it accepts no reasoning at all, with no ifs and buts. The Inquisition is the inspiration of the “with no ifs and buts” people. Today Giordano Bruno would be given life imprisonment and he would commit suicide in prison. With no ifs and buts. The “with no ifs and buts” person can suddenly change his mind with no ifs and buts, and after the kick up the bum from the referendum, from a pro-nuclearist to an anti-nuclearist or, for the economic crisis, transform himself from one who protects the total tax-dodgers, with the Fiiscal Shield, into the Sherriff of Nottingham. You can recognise the “with no ifs and buts” person from the lack of backbone, and as he always crawls with no ifs and buts. As a child he took his cod liver oil without protesting. He always wrote the essay that was pleasing to his teacher and he wanted to become a politician.
