Every time I rewatch the truly horrific video of the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk, I can't avoid to notice how fucking small his face was.

ACHTUNG!

Attention is a scarce resource, right?

Then why do you write so much? Why so complicated? To feed your little writer's ego?

Do better: write well instead.

Even political assassinations don't require manifestos these days. Just write a meme.

Social media monetize your attention. Work consumes your attention. Solitude and alienation melt your attention.

Politics must regenerate attention instead of competing for attention. Your politics will never be more interesting to most people than a cat video. Deal with it.

Protect others from what destroys their attention.

Attention is the foundation of power because is a prerequisite for cohesive action.

Without attention, we don't know where we stand. We don't know what we want. We don't know how to act.

If your political strategy needs attention from people, work to build such attention.

Careful: building attention does not mean attracting attention or competing for attention.

People cannot be moralized into being attentive. We are seeing that even a genocide eventually gets boring.

The recipe is the following:

SHIELD! FOCUS! REWIRE!

Shield your peers from the attention drains: give them social life outside of social networks. Give them support to leave shitty, exhausting jobs. Create bubbles of calm focus for them to thrive.

Focus your peers through collective intelligence: don't make them read books, but recap the books for them. Summarize the news. Filter knowledge. Connect the dots with them. Make them experience change. Groups know more than individuals.

Rewire their brains: regulate them, at home or remotely. Make them exercise their brain. Help them figure out paths to constructive medication, not to be more productive, but to be able to commit more consistently to political action.

Individual attention is a collective project.

Akinator but for political organizations who accept volunteers

This is my impression of an Italian saying "ok"

*clears throat*

Occhei, occhei

This is who your brother in law is arguing with

Me, staring at Torre UniCredit:

"Qua un giorno sarà tutta campagna"

Reject Modernity.
Reject Tradition.

A corollary to this is that every social media post starting with "Why is nobody talking about X??!???!!!?" can be safely ignored

Ricordatore che il 22 Settembre c'è Sciopero Generale per fare pressione sul governo per sospendere il supporto economico al genocidio in Palestina.

Come aderire:

* Quando suona la sveglia, premete Stop e giratevi dall'altra parte.
* (opzionale) Colazione alle 11 con cornetto e caffè

Have we considered that a company that clearly does not understand how to use spoons might not be the best equipped to operate such a large amount of capital?
