Anche i Nani Hanno Cominciato da Piccoli

Werner Herzog - EVEN DWARFS STARTED SMALL (1970)

The rise to power of the PsicoNano-Trimurti Berlusconi-Brunetta-Costanzo highlights the relevance of this old Herzog movie, now a cult classic. This so-called NanoTimurti signifies the age-old revenge of biological entities that in slightly more feral eras—just think of our own Renaissance—would surely have been extinguished at birth, or at best, become court jesters. Today, thanks to medical science, they enjoy everlasting life, with money, sweat, and tears supplied by you, the reader. Like a plenipotentiary gerontocracy, being pumped with vitamins, women, and toys—take, for example, how the rich psiconano gifted himself a plane because he was a little depressed, poor thing. And You, you Debaser reader, struggle to make ends meet. The absurdity of this Storming of the Bastille by dwarfs lies in the lost intuitio intellectualis of which even Dante once dreamed; you no longer understand a damn thing about what's happening around you. Indoctrinated properly, it even seems normal to you that this bunch of people of the quick profits—again Dante— overruns you and runs things as they please.

Andreotti, and before him Mussolini and Hitler and Stalin, embody the art of presenting empty figures sold as infallible demagogues by the spagyric alchemies of the Media, true magic wands of the 20th century. The power given to dwarfs is dangerous: let me give you a clearer picture. The biological underdevelopment of these dwarfs does not by itself undermine their intelligence. It’s their ancestral bitterness towards Giants that makes them lack any noblesse d'épée and overflows with noblesse de robe, meaning they turn out greedier and more infamous than the wickedest Giants, like the dwarfs in Herzog's arcane film. This so-called intelligence is not broad-minded; it’s immature, short-sighted, and transforms into monkey-like mentalization, a little bit of dialectics and political jargon, saying and not saying, diplomacy: read as slyly looking after one's own interests at the community’s expense while demanding moral compensation for the nature that has been more stepmother than mother to them. Dwarfs are the negative pole of Giants. However, observing the Pedra Cansada, the Gateway of the Sun, the Pyramids, the Colosseum itself, from these dwarfs there will remain only a bit of ink in the history books.
