Premier Meloni defines herself as a bitch… and it makes me discover that the world is full of assholes

That joke today made me discover the immense world that lives and gets by on the internet talking about assholes. Incredible, pages and pages, books and essays, jokes and aphorisms

ROME – A slightly heavy article, I admit. But if the Prime Minister used that same word live on video… you’ll forgive me. “… I’m that bitch Meloni”. It’s the dirty greeting with which Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni blasted the President of the Campania Region, Vincenzo De Luca. That joke today made me discover the immense world that lives and gets by on the internet talking about assholes. Incredible, pages and pages, books and essays, jokes and aphorisms. There is a real population of assholes and for assholes. For example, there is a true classic: “Stronzology. Gnoseologia della dependence on assholes” by Amleto de Silva, aka Amlo, born in Naples, raised in Salerno and lives in Rome. He made his debut as a cartoonist on Cuore. For him the asshole “is not an alien who suddenly arrives and uses violence”. He is not an enterprising person: the asshole is by nature fearful. To be able to fuck you, he needs to become familiar with you…“. Why do we trust assholes in work, in life, in love, even at the delicatessen? Because we don’t (re)know them, underlines the author. , “and also because they are everywhere” which then even objectively motivates, as an asshole entomologist, where, how and why we are surrounded by this category of people, today more than ever”. A useful book, because it’s easy to stop depending on the asshole if you know how to do it. There is also the warning: “of course every time you read stronzo, keep in mind that it is masculine only for stylistic conformity. Women are also included in Stronzology. And there are many“.< /p>

And there are as many manual books as you want: How to conquer an asshole, Dear asshole, I’m writing to you, Forgetting an asshole, Asshole bosses, infamous colleagues, The discreet charm of assholes and so on. Not to mention the jokes or catchphrases. Thousands. It begins with Snoopy philosophizing: “Does an asshole who improves become more or less so?”. Ah, to know. Then we find the people having their say: “Big assholes, in life as in the toilet, tend to always stay afloat.” “Please don’t be an asshole with me. Because then I have to do it too and I know how to do it better.” “It’s not being an asshole, it’s being sincere.” “Anyway, heart attacks come to those who have a heart. Assholes can rest assured.” Even one from Funari: “If someone is an asshole you can’t call him stupid, he creates illusions, you have to say: Asshole”. “Are you Prince Charming? No, I’m the blue asshole, is it the same?”. “When the sea is calm every asshole is a sailor”, “I’m a bitch, so what?”. To end with the corrector “let me exchange asshole for strange… Trust me, he’s not strange, he’s a real asshole”. We could continue like this, indefinitely, with the risk of becoming one in the end. Better not, I end here with one of the most beautiful first pages of Cuore, which was a great satirical weekly. Faced with our weaknesses, the crisis we are experiencing and the difficulties, the risk is this: “We will all be poorer. But assholes all the same“.
