The darkness is coming

Abstract

Among the political elites, a reductive thought, dominated by technicaleconomic criteria, has been imposed. The game of power focuses on the war of perception, on the psycho-ontology of hatred, stimulating vindictive feelings and social anger. The use of social networks as instruments for manipulation occurred in many actual cases. Europe is in a stalemate, in a confusion. Even among the founding countries of the EU, xenophobic populists are on the increase. At present, it lacks a clear vision able of overturning an unjust system that caused inequalities favoring the propaganda of the “sovereignist” right-oriented political party. In addition, few people believe in a wake up from the homologation in which we live and in an alternative radical transformation project, based on an ethical vision of individual responsibility.
