Perhaps it's not clear to you: I was saying that rather than listening to the opinion of some random X, shaped through exchanges of opinions with other Xs, it would be so much nicer/cooler/winner/acceptable/inte resting/pleasurable/vibrant to hear the opinion of an Italian conservative (!) professor at Columbia—Obama's Columbia, mind you—who is renowned worldwide as the greatest living political scientist, who views the Italian political regime more or less as a media circus/authoritarian... what do you think? Sometimes someone forgets they're on a site for the exchange of spontaneous and, frankly, ridiculous personal opinions, perhaps thinking that a comment could determine the fate of humanity. Thank goodness it's better to hear the viewpoint of someone who doesn't think about anything else from morning till night. But their vote is worth as much as that of an eighteen-year-old who only thinks about matching their shoes with their hoodie. Damn universal suffrage, on this we are (I repeat) on the same wavelength.

Political science is reduced like this because politics has become (for us, it has been since the dawn of time) a realm of the powerful, the well-connected, various cliques, lobbies, and today, of "veline." Indeed. You act accordingly.

“Damn universal suffrage.” There you go, you’ve got it. A civil engineer can build houses, I can’t. A doctor can perform surgeries, I can’t. But a Political Scientist (or whatever you call yourselves) really isn’t anyone, and after years of study, they come out at the same level they entered. My vote is worth as much as yours, and I don’t know who Sartori is, nor do I care to know, and the Prime Minister is someone who maybe, exaggerating, has a diploma. But you can always think that “90% of right-wing people don’t pay attention to theories because they’re as smart as a goat,” and enjoy the idea that only you are intelligent. When you get tired of seeing your curriculum that nobody cares about, maybe you’ll start to think that perhaps you’re not so sharp after all.

<< Little political scientists are growing up. >> You are the one who wants to draw a fixed rule or a mental rant from this; I just wrote what I think and what everyone I know who votes right thinks. And there are many, many, many of us. And we all think the same thing, the thing I wrote. Then you can draw whatever conclusions you want, but know that people who vote right usually do so because they are pragmatic, so they couldn't care less about all the theories. And certainly, they don't waste time in hilarious universities like political science, a worthy anteroom of failure, precariousness, and unemployment. But with so many nice theories.

Well, I randomly said 5%, but of all the people I know who vote PDL, a net 0% votes for Silvio because they like Silvio. There are surely many, but I don't know even one.

It's quite comical how in Italy, those who vote on the left can say "I don't vote left, but I vote anti-right," while for them, those who vote on the right must vote for Berlusconi. Not just any party, not even "on the right," but they vote specifically for Berlusconi, him and only him. It's rare to find someone who understands that among those millions of votes, there are still people voting right because they are right-leaning—without being in love with Silvio—and there are also people voting anti-left because they expect something more than just an anti-Silvio program. When the left understands this, and especially that many people couldn't care less about Silvio whether he's in charge or arrested, they could manage to take away at least 15-20% net from the PDL, if not more. But it seems they will never understand that only about 5% really votes for Silvio, him and only him.

No, you’re not there yet; in fact, you’re drifting off into the philosophical. There’s nothing to explain and no one who needs to understand anything. I’ll repeat it: if you don’t read the review of the broken bottles and the hair without a crest in its natural color, you’ll always be off track.

Ah, by the way, I also like Gun Club (a recommendation from ajejebrazorf), and especially Minutemen (those a lot more). Maybe I wrote otherwise above, I have no idea, but that's how it is.

Not everyone is here, the best was in some other review, I remember like 300 (without exaggerating) comments in a row between me, him, jimmorrison, and genoo. Here you can't understand why it worked in fits and starts between one and the other. The judgments are obviously confused and confusing because I don't give a damn about the topic, the discussion itself is fun, even if we were talking about the coppà malù. I'm here to chat while I work (like right now), not to dig up some great truth or some wonderful topic. If you find the other discussion, maybe you'll get a better vague idea, I remember a ton of laughter.

I don't know, ask him. It’s him who comes back here every year to tell me "you don't like punk because you don't know it," for me the discussion ended three years ago. I enjoy responding to him, and frankly, I don't base the nonsense I write here on whether "someone cares," I’m just talking to him for three years now, and you are just the umpteenth idiot who has read three posts out of 400 (they're not all here, and let's say that I'm adding mine and his together) and hasn't - rightly - understood a damn thing. But he feels the need to interrupt and to say the great phrase "who gives a shit." Clearly, he gives a shit, what do you want me to say, maybe he won’t write for another year, but sooner or later he will come back to repeat the same things, and I will always happily repeat mine. By the way, who the hell are you?
