The boy in this picture is Lorenzo. He’s a student at liceo Marconi, in Parma. During the Teha Group festival in his city, #Leonardo, Italy’s notorious military giant, was described as an example of industrial excellence and vision for the future. Lorenzo asked a question that everyone should have asked. Why a company that made billions by supplying weapons to the unnamed Zionist entity so it could perpetrate a genocide in #Gaza is supposed to be praised as an example of industrial excellence. Why the industrial vision for the future must rely on military conglomerates that make billions thanks to genocides, while many startups founded by brilliant young people have to starve for funding. Why teenagers like him are part of classes of 30 students forced to study in rooms designed for 15 students, and why Italians are supposed to silently accept continuous cuts to education and healthcare, in order to see their taxes diverted to genocide-makers depicted as industrial excellence. The worst thing is that behind the “new military Renaissance” doctrine there are mostly people in their 70s and 80s. A gerontocracy made of late-capitalist psychopaths who don’t care about the future of their own grandsons, because they won’t be alive when that future happens. Why doesn’t this intergenerational mass theft cause massive social unrest that leads to a true political revolution?
