Democracy in reverse

Democracy: Since it could not make what is right would be strong, he made sure that what was right is strong.
(Blaise Pascal)
What at first glance it may seem like a joke that's exactly what we're seeing in Italy in this period. We
standardization of things that would shiver up to ten years ago. It is not democratic judges investigating politicians of dubious morality and honesty, but Democratic women to order over the phone as you do with the pizza delivery. Your ally who deserts you, not for noble reasons, but with full rights, it becomes a subversive. The two journalists who tell you what you would have concealed Communists are dangerous and do not deserve a response. If you believe you are innocent of the crimes charged is legitimate, even a duty, to decide not to appear before the judges, a sort of absolution media prior to which it is the defendant who, acting in the name of democracy, if what they are accused of is true or not. We reached the point where newspapers are read as words of appreciation for Cuffaro, a representative of the mafia in the service of the state, faced the death sentence; ago the figure of the stoic ... think it was done processing. We came to the amazement of normality. Then every three days there the bullshit: "Are the Italians that they ask" stupid ... I am not asking anything but to live in a normal state not to Bananas Country. In a democracy, those in power can not overturn the constitution on which he has sworn by his personal quarrels, that is called dictatorship, is affirmation of the right of one against the good of all. Democracy is not winner takes all, whoever is elected is not there by divine right and the state that represents all that is not 34% of the country, always making out that 34% of that only 0.01% are also benefits . In a democracy, the first who must be protected classes are not the old weak billionaires otherwise honest. In a democracy you do not defend in the courts with video messaging style Bin Laden no contradiction. Instead, everything seems normal now, the media brainwashing has fulfilled its purpose, is completely normal. You know when it actually ended the First Republic? It 's over in front of the Hotel Raphael. There was no clean hands in the end it was people who said enough. He said enough things that were not serious even half of what's happening today. Prevented the impunity granted apologies or discounts. Now they have learned their lesson and are playing on another level, it's become something of a struggle between good (Mr B) and evil (everyone else) and good, as we are taught from childhood, must win at all costs whatever the price. Televisions and newspapers have worked tirelessly for years, drop by drop paved the way for democracy in reverse so the stronger has more reason than others.
