In recent days, the United Kingdom has been experiencing challenging days. You Roguelocked in a cage Pub Forty years before Thatcher, he took advantage of the nationalist wave to show he still had the strength to grip rocks, and the mouth to babble, confirming his Neanderthal origins.
The kids of postmodernism, on the other hand, were riding the wave of progress. Always angry and frowning, they have a slight, and I repeat, slight, tendency towards conversation. With their green hair, they proved that the middle finger is useful, and after all, it’s not just five-year-olds who stick their tongues out when confronted.
Now, the green Eden gave way to an authentic circus. With clown performances and antics like we haven’t seen in a long time. And, like any prestigious circus, animals cannot be missing in this one either. And British artist Banksy, like a true captivator, gave us that joy.
Those who are still debating abstractions are unable to join the large group of Internet users who passionately debate the meaning of these works (including me). Pure speculation. Nevertheless, I found it interesting to note the similarity between animals and the heroes of the show, which some will consider completely absurd (and that is within their right!), which has been running for several days in the UK.
goat. Exhaust goat? The perpetrator of the crime in Southport or Tommy Robinson. They are both despicable, albeit for different reasons. Who is to blame for the recent fires? As the bipolarisation of the world we live in dictates, all we have to do is pick a side, and no matter which side that is, the list of candidates is endless.
Two elephants. Will they be in the room? And which one is the biggest? One section feels that multiculturalism has failed and the political class has betrayed them. And others, who appreciate the inclusive effort, feel insecure and, therefore, also betrayed by the political class. Nobody is happy, but someone has to have the courage to look the giant elephant in the eye before knocking down the wall.
Three monkeys. According to what I read, it originates from a Japanese proverb: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Unfortunately, social communication is boring and often cannot be unbiased. Therefore, many people seek solace in stimulating social networks where we watch, listen and comment. It is a perfect place to deal with everyday frustrations and perpetuate insecurities. The speed at which flammable content spreads is perfect for distracting those who are confused. Give them content and their critical capacity will diminish. They accuse the small of stupidity and evil will prevail.
Wolf in the Moonlight. Lone wolf? Lone Wolves is an expression we’ve grown accustomed to. Just this week we came across another one while attending a music festival. He wanted nothing more than to quench his thirst for bloodshed Swifty.
Regardless of the scapegoat, the elephant in the room will remain there and, the more we are fed by the evil little monkeys, the more division will be created and, with it, the greater the likelihood of hungry wolves appearing.
I hope the fuse that fuels this medieval circus is waterproof and that you don’t even think of crossing the English Channel under penalty of repeating yourself in a kind of tour across Europe.
