There is no second Europe (Non esiste una seconda Europa)
The world is not divided between Global North and South, nor in a cold war between US and China. These are outdated maps. Today, the world is fragmenting into four distinct ideological regimes—each battling to define our future.
The death of the ethical leadeship
The spectacular destruction of the Trump-Musk alliance is tearing away the final veneer of dignity from American leadership, exposing a grotesque theater of pathological narcissism that threatens the very foundations of democratic governance.

Leaders are urged to “own their crucible.” Politicians are coached to deliver “transformational narratives.” Even trauma is expected to be “re-narrated” as catharsis. But this obsession with narrative—while superficially empowering—is symptomatic of a deeper epistemic and moral collapse: the disintegration of personal development.
