How twisted and tiring it must be to make up your own mind every day or adopt others according to your interests, to be this or that depending on the circumstances and feverishly search for alibis so that the common people, the ones from the TV from observing, being able to identify. agrees with you or is convinced that voting for you will change his life for the better, that citizens will be happy and will eat partridges thanks to the intelligence, honesty and civic spirit of those who want to liberate the common good .
Apparently they have endless consultants to sell their looks, makeup experts, mass psychology virtuosos. Or just crooks, even if they have an analysts degree from Oxford University. And without any problems of conscience, to change the actors, to sell one or the opposite at any time.
Power assumes that 70% of citizens vote. There are 30% who will abstain. Tons of people. And not all, I say, can be sociopaths, lazy, irresponsible, nihilistic, drunk, drug addicts, homeless, anarchist, suicidal, insane and stupid. But they make them invisible and inaudible, they don’t exist when they’re out of business. I see leaders, actors and actresses who don’t have the wondrous gift of great artists to play their roles in the media. In other words, make their characters real and seductive.
I watch them tirelessly for a while, interrupting the predictable reel to go back to the movies I fall in love with, those fictions that make me believe they’re real.
