In the West, we live in a perpetual bubble of sugary molasses, in which pacifism (until it involves the missile “exportation of democracy”), anti-bullying (until it targets children raised with traditional education) and politically correct speech (until it comes to offend conservative politics) are the daily mantras and are anthropologically shaping a generation of factually helpless and defenseless people, human beings raised in an artificially constructed captivity, a cage that should “protect” them, but which would not allow them to survive in the external natural world, or even more so among individuals from non-Western nations who were born and raised with different principles, which make them extremely stronger and more determined than us.
The concept of “strength”, both mental and physical, in the West is labeled as something to avoid, because technological advancement can provide for the satisfaction of their needs and technology can easily substitute for the minimal skills required for survival, now atrophied.
Masculinity, once a fundamental and prized characteristic in ordered and healthy social structure, is now classified as toxic (and the leftovers of it are all channeled into the gym), while misandrist propaganda becomes the fashion to follow, and thus we find ourselves in a completely demasculinized society, lacking the essential characteristics of masculine energy.
The idea of using physical strength for self-defense is seen as something avoidable and retrograde because the resolution of any conflict must be delegated to a designated authority (which today ignores citizens’ requests); the citizens thus finds themselves incapable of providing without external help (which has been deliberately underfunded).
The Western man is becoming a battery hen, a helpless bovine incapable of self-defense, incapable of providing and reasoning for himself.
The poor individuals, victims of a media system they blindly trusted, find themselves in a state of perpetual handicap that would hypothetically allow any totalitarian force to prevail over the population, as the population is disarmed, incapable of reacting to abuses.
The totalitarian force, on the other hand, would not follow the rules of the pacifist woke mantra, instilled solely in the population now reduced to a mass of battery hens.
Consider, for example, the recent wave of crime in Europe, fueled by illegal immigration (groups of violent individuals selected to stoke hatred between cultures and create polarization) and by foreign (and non-foreign) mafia groups, who have realized they can operate freely without repercussions while the bovine population watches inertly. This demonstrates that Europe is in potential and grave danger of being conquered by anyone with the necessary strength to do so, as it would not encounter native people capable of defending themselves.
We can see this on a smaller scale when, in Italian subways and stations for example, we observe the usual groups of criminals dealing drugs, raping and stealing, while even the police lack the courage to confront them.
The European today lives in a Disney-like soap bubble, but those living outside this bubble of propagandistic manipulation are (rightly) not as sadly harmless as the European, who has become an innocuous bovine. This creates a massive imbalance in the capacity to use force, extremely alarming for the survival of Western culture. Considering the vast amount of natural resources Europe possesses, it is only a matter of time before someone decides to make a clean sweep, as happened with poor Palestine, of which they have slowly taken control of the territory (which is already happening in a subtle and gradual manner).
After the Second World War, the European was mentally castrated by a relentless demasculinizing propaganda, useful to those who needed to maintain the power balances established after some entities colonized parts of Europe, anesthetizing any push to create an alternative nationalist and protective force for its citizens. To maintain subjugation to them, all European citizens have been mentally emasculated.
The new, helpless, and apathetic generations, incapable of asserting their most basic rights and delegating their protection to external entities, ignore the reality surrounding them, even blindly entrusting its mere comprehension to the designated mass media. These media, controlling the information through which they interpret reality, manipulate them even at a psycho-perceptual level.
Indeed, even the thought and language of the average European have been manipulated to such an extent that they are prevented from expressing critical thoughts, as, according to political correctness, these might be deemed offensive. Thus, it is highly advisable, to avoid legal troubles, to steer clear of any “hot” topics, delegating their interpretations and neuronal activity annexed to an official media entity that will provide them with opinions they would not dare to form on their own.
Add to this the fact that an oppressive wind of war is palpable in the air, both externally to Europe and internally (the possibility of civil wars).
Meanwhile, chaos surrounds Europe; consider, for example, the war of some political powers (officially encapsulated as Ukraine) against Russia, which, if it were to erupt beyond Ukraine’s borders, would destroy Europe as we know it today. Furthermore, consider the massacres in the Middle East caused by an unhealthy pursuit of profit by certain entities, or the genocide perpetrated against the State of Palestine, not to mention what they orchestrate in less direct ways. The real world is knocking at Europe’s doors…
Here we see depicted a self-portrait of the artist Enrico Ibrahim Deiana, oil on canvas, in the midst of disaster; an apocalyptic landscape, a nuclear mushroom cloud in the background, about to engulf the figure, walls transforming into monstrous demonic forms with red eyes; the young man is poised to be struck by the explosion, clutching his stomach, an act that several exorcists might associate with demonic infestation. Is evil something material or spiritual?
Is war an event among men, or a malevolence unleashed by forces beyond our superficial sensory perception? And as wars break out, indiscriminate violence always begets more violence, and the Western people seem to be the next to taste its horrific flavor, even though they now feel safe, nestled on their couches, watching Netflix.
In this work, we observe a young man destroyed by the propaganda of Americanizing clothing, a stretched and distorted neck that, in a Darwinian manner, allows him to use his smartphone more easily, his ears perpetually isolated, connected to the digital world and soundproofed from the reality surrounding him.
His gaze is lost; he is merely a body, adrift in digitalization.
