A monolith on the table

It must be an unforgettable experience to have someone come and ask you for support to get you out of the middle. "Hello, I have called you to this meeting so that you can help me eliminate you and what you represent", they tell you. what do you feel what do you answer Does it make you laugh? Do you burst out laughing? Or, on the contrary, is a worry invading you, a strange bitterness that you take home and does not let you sleep?

From a purely narrative point of view, once again, the Congress scene is fabulous. It is loaded with a juicy subtext: “Look, even though, as you know, I claim that you embody evil, that is also why I come to offer you a pact to repeal you personally. I hope the sentence is understood. And that you value my dissimulation: I am protected by reason, the universal truth and a superior number of votes. I know that ours is a parliamentary monarchy, according to the Constitution that I don't take out of my mouth - as the unique and exemplary constitutionalist that I am - but this system of pacts has legitimacy, of course, only when your party is the that wins in votes and not mine, as happened recently, I don't remember when. Everything happens so fast. In short, I propose that we walk hand in hand to liquidate you. I trust you will agree."

Some people would have bought tickets to attend this scene. Someone should put up chairs when we are being spat at shows of this caliber. In fact, although we have been told that the protagonist will not participate, the right-wing candidate's inauguration attempt could soon offer dialogues with an equally mind-blowing underground content with the pro-independence parties: "Hello, I'm coming to asking you to help me form a government with an ultra-right party that says it wants to outlaw you. I hope you like it".

It is possible that the right in general has run away with the monolithic discourse of good and evil. This thick line works as a claim in advertising campaigns, but it hinders the possibility of reaching agreements in a plural society. They forgot the details. Putting a monolith on a covenant table doesn't seem practical. What do you do about it? It could also happen that, entertained by surrealism, we are not learning anything, and the game is played on another side.
