Make nonsense your narrative
(Everyone is entitled to say whatever, included me)
So, I have accounts on different social networks because I am a writer, and humankind is an interesting topic for me. What I can’t stand are narratives, and the reason is the same as in the previous sentence: because I am a writer. I create fiction for many reasons, but not for teaching, not for shaping your reality, not for pretending to tell you what to do, and not for building faiths, saints, or dogmas. I believe that is the role of propaganda.
One of the main agents of propaganda are people who believe in solid, continuous, and strong Western values on one hand, while considering themselves free spirits on the other. These people are the easiest to manipulate, spreading lies and prejudices in the form of a narrative. That’s why the propaganda machine loves them so much.
A recent example is the idea of re-arming Europe, which means arming the EU. An armed EU, not an armed Europe, is probably the worst nightmare since the devastation of Palestine by Israel. It would be fascism in a new form. And everything has been set up to create such a narrative. But if you can’t see it, I’ll spoil it for you.
Prologue: The EU is equivalent to Europe, and the EU speaks for European people.
Chapter One:
After fighting for peace, we must fight for our freedom against the Red Devil. Yes, the one who freed us from Nazism and lost more victims than others. But let’s skip that point for now: if you know, you know.
Chapter Two:
Since the Red Devil never mentioned the intention to invade Europe, and this is a problem for our plot, let’s take a country that can play the role of an undefended European nation. Ukraine, for instance.
Hey, but Ukraine is not…
Sshh. Nevermind.
Chapter Three:
A French President, whoever they may be, decides to challenge the Devil by revealing the “truth” to the people, as a gift for humanity. The Red Devil wants to use nuclear weapons against Europe or, even worse, absorb Europeans into an Obscure but Very Red Empire!!!
ARE YOU SCARED?
No?
Chapter Four:
The New Democratic Parties, together with Right/Extreme Right Parties across Europe, decide to put pressure on public opinion. The slogan is “Make Europe Great Again.” They must convince Europeans that spending money on an EU Army is a good idea for Europe’s salvation. Our so-called values of freedom are at risk. If we let Ukraine lose its war, which country will be next?
Chapter Five:
Each European country (the UK, strangely included) becomes poorer and poorer, spending every euro (or pound) on this common Army. The Red Devil starts to worry and asks itself: ARE THEY SERIOUS?
Chapter Six:
The Red Devil says it will attack Europe in order to defend itself. The proud French President gets excited: TOLD YA! The Red Devil wants to invade us!
ARE YOU SCARED?
No?
Chapter Seven:
We will save ourselves from another stupid nuclear war only because the Red Devil can’t afford to lose us as its privileged storytellers. But thanks to the EU Army—and all the money spent on it—each European country is poorer than before, less autonomous, and if it dares to step outside the EU, the Army or other deterrent instruments could act against it. And maybe the Usa, in step with the Red Devil, can sell us its gas and oil.
Final Chapter:
Meanwhile, Germany has regained a solid economy thanks to the war industry, selling weapons to Israel and others.
Wait, what?
Oh no, you can’t introduce a new character at the end of the story: is it a plot twist? No Red Devils have been defeated. They run their solid economies, and you can sleep better knowing that the German-French EU is taking good care of European freedom. Wait for the end…
ARE YOU SCARED?
The End.
It's a book about human and European ops EU imbecility. The red devil watches a very bad comedy show but he has to be 100% bad, otherwise how can the good guys shine? And European citizens oscillate between not caring, working little and badly and a thousand other problems.
