Fate of irony. Minister Carlo Nordio makes a joke about the contradictions of our taxation and is branded as an instigator of tax evasion. Beppe Grillo talks about citizenship brigades made up of pensioners and is mistaken for a terrorist. What caused this misunderstanding? To the spirit of the times, to the rampant functional illiteracy, to the increasingly worrying problems of understanding the text, to the detriment of digital disintermediation, to the hatred that circulates on social media? And to say that Twitter was a training ground for ironic jokes, but just reading the comments is enough to sink into despair.
Leonardo Sciascia in the Affaire Moro (1978) writes definitive words: Nothing is more difficult to understand, more indecipherable, than irony. And if you can hang a man by moving him as an accusation with just one sentence of his detached from a context, even more so, more easily, you can hang him by moving against him an ironic sentence of his.
The irony of dissimulation comes from the Greek eron (one who pretends not to know), disorients, always warns of the reverse side of the coin. In this sea of quid pro quo, the government wraps itself around the Mes and invents, something never seen before, the Aventine of the Executive. Was this also irony and we didn’t understand it? The Punt and Mes Government, a point of reference and a means of ratification.
