Ezio Mauro reproaches Tycoon the typical progressive strategy: banning common sense
Among the many defects, Donald Trump He has a safe value: he is literally making the unique progressive brain explode that commands intellectuals from all over the world. The battle conducted against the universities considered temples of the Wake culture – starting from Harvard – although in many ways contestable is making the sensational contradictions of the global left emerge clearly clarity. To this deception, of course, they also collaborate commentators and left -handed editorialists, who in an attempt to defend their houses demonstrate how much the reversal of reality is at the center of the liberal proposal.
A formidable help provided it yesterday Ezio Maurothat yesterday on Republic – blame Trump – he wrote that “the ultra -right” has “now set fire to the knowledge system, well beyond the American academic world. Forcing Harvard’s iron gate, “he says Mauro“The American president attracts the attention of the world on a much more ambitious, because it is extreme: a real cultural fracture in the name of ideology, the end of shared knowledge that is the true glue of national unity and identity continuity”. Second Mauro“From today the dispute is open on the cognition of the world, decisive to reformulate the criterion on the basis of which the events are evaluated and the phenomena are judged, after populism has knocked down the western canon, a self -altitude of having a universal value. The game is obviously decisive because the mail is the redenomination of reality, the exercise of the cultural power of giving a name to things by recreating them to the light of the new domain, establishing the modern hierarchy, to get to a reformulation of the concepts of good and evil according to sovereign ethics “. In practice, the great signature of Republic to give you on Trump He described what the cultural left has done in the last thirty years at least precisely in order to conduct a revolution.
To begin with, the western canon that gave the title to a wonderful essay by Harold Bloom has been demolished and opposed in recent decades precisely by those who Bloom He defined students of the “school of resentment”, that is, from the minorities fans who recently learned to call Woke. They have tried to change the language – by censorship and re -education – in the hope of modifying reality. They have imposed and continue to impose an artificial universe in which culture, biology, nationality and simple common sense not only does not matter, but are banned. A world in which the father can be erased and snatch their children from the mother, in which books are rewritten and humanitarianism is used to upset nations. The reasoning on science deserves a separate chapter. Say Mauro That “we are in the exact moment in which we try to change the pitagoric table of the system, its alphabet, the algebra, through the modification of the method of calculating reality, altering its perception by means of the devaluation of the facts and the demolition of procedures, institutions and rules”. It would be enough to appoint the word Covid to demolish the castle of cards built by the former director of Republic. The instrumental use of science – transformed into religion – which has been made during the pandemic is comparable only to the massacre that is made when dealing with ecological issues or, worse, are discussed by alleged rainbow rights. The perception today is sovereign, thanks to the liberals that have made it such, obviously as long as it is a “right” perception, that is, corresponding to what power wants. On the other hand, Mauro He succeeds in the company to throw the child with dirty water: to start the deconstruction company, even with some positive results, it was people like Michel Foucault that the left revealed for decades. Now everything goes in the basket because demolition has escaped hands and chaos derivatone has sprung up Trump. Mauro However, he insists: “The neo-authorsey power instead of chasing the individual truths by confuting and contrasting them performs a sovereign jump, and attacks the agencies that produce those truths, directly poisoning the source, once and for all”, he writes. “To delegitimize the cognitive authority of the democratic system, to undermine the institutional system of knowledge, to contrast the natural production of spontaneous truth, reduce intellectual autonomy, devalue the scientific method: finally emptying the perimeter of knowledge to dry up the social construction that makes the truth possible, to guarantee everyone”.
They have been third, anti western, anti -American, internationalist. They denied reality with the excuse of defending every minority. The concepts of authority and truths have fought with every force. And here they are today, poor people, to invoke the West and the truth only because someone is beating them with their own weapons.
