Il primo spunto viene recentemente dal Corriere.it a firma di Laura DeFeudis. L’articolo parla di quiet quitting, burnout e wise working, in particolare dopo l’esperienza sociale Covid. Tanti termini, stessa statistica: sei persone su cento nel Belpaese sono disaffezionate al proprio lavoro stando al rapporto Gallup. L’ultimo termine, wise working, si rifà a filosofie varie per dare significato alla propria opera di sussistenza. In parole povere, il profitto ci sta, fa parte dell’impresa. Tuttavia, marciare solo sotto diktat del profitto altrui sentendosi alienati e vedendo un aggravarsi futuro non basta a iniettare zelo nelle ossa dei lavoratori. Quotidianamente vi è quiet quitting e disamoramento totale di un mercato del lavoro ormai quasi solo ed esclusivamente in mano a forme di management approssimative. Incrociando testimonianze ne esce la stessa litania fasulla come una banconota da tre euro. Non vi è alternativa, quindi tanto bastone, poca carota, siate infelici e partecipi. L’austerity è anche alienazione. Verrebbe da aggiungere a questo spunto. Se l’impresa si accontentasse di un profitto onesto e gratificasse col carovita reale e rappresentasse dei valori, il discorso cambierebbe. Se i vari rappresentanti rappresentassero gli interessi basilari del loro elettorato, aiuterebbe. L’amore per un lavoro o per il proprio paese non implicano una totale, cieca accettazione anche di cose contrarie alla nostra morale. Si cita spesso il passato, tralasciando visione e analisi del presente come fosse un diversivo per mascherare un non futuro e si ha un senso di alienazione. Alienazione, termine ormai quasi in disuso. Un concetto poliedrico, che riguarda il trasferimento dei propri diritti in mano ad un’altra persona/ entità. Marx lo usava per intendere un lavoratore separato dal frutto delle proprie fatiche. Alienazione generazionale, la morte dell’empatia e l’eterno giovanilismo dei pochi in nome di un’epoca debole e approssimativa poiché ‘non vi sono alternative’. La favoletta non può tradursi in eterna condanna. L’uomo non è bidimensionale come siamo condotti a credere dalla propaganda, è qualcosa di più. Quest’alienazione ogni tanto si vede: nelle intenzioni e nella partecipazione al voto dei giovani in un referendum, ad esempio. Sentendo alcuni ragazzi dibattere Sì o No fuori dalle urne veniva a pensare che le cose non sono scontate. Sono i modi, negare le evidenze. La politica generalmente è poco appetibile se tradisce o dimentica le vere aspettative. Sì, il mondo si scopre peggio di quanto non sembrasse già. Lo si osserva nelle proteste di principio dove gli over abbassano spesso lo sguardo sconfitto e volgono la loro coscienza annacquata altrove. Bene dixit l’on. Bonaccini nell’articolo di A. Raimo del 26 marzo sul Huffington Post (secondo spunto). Gli elettori non promettono nulla, sta alla politica offrire proposte convincenti. Semplici riflessioni. Quanti dipendenti sono cento volte superiori a coloro che li gestiscono nei vari settori? Quante promesse vengono mantenute? Quanti semplici cittadini stanno anni luce avanti rispetto alle attuali classi dirigenti? Terzo spunto, Stiglitz: le guerre economiche moderne, come quelle fatte con le bombe, implicano bombardamenti a distanza senza vedere il volto di coloro che danneggiano. Alienazione. Tutto ruota intorno a pochi pilastri: petrodollaro come fulcro, tassi di interesse bassi, energia economica, supply chains stabili ed élite. Nel mezzo del cammin della nostra storia ci troviamo in una selva oscura ove chi dovesse capire, ha capito. Chi non ha capito o mostra dei deficit o sta al gioco. Si è accettato di tutto. Stati che hanno delegato la propria libertà e la propria sicurezza in mano ad altri Stati senza un minimo tornaconto per i propri “sudditi”. Giovani, lavoratori e il sud del mondo hanno portato un peso sulle spalle, le ultime tre decadi in particolare. Grandi interessi di pochi, come mai prima. Una marcia distopica fino all’alienazione dell’individuo e blocchi della società. L’alienazione è uno strumento settario fondamentale nel dividi et impera. Polarizzazione del vuoto per fare leva sul peccato maggiore, la grande paura. Meglio agire prima di ponderare. Tuttavia, come scriveva una poetessa; quello che ci separa come persone è infinitamente meno di quello che separa me dalle scelte del mio governo o te dal tuo. Vogliamo davvero vivere un mondo sempre più alienato?

Is a world founded on alienation our goal? The first inspiration comes recently from Corriere.it and is by Laura DeFeudis. The article talks about quiet quitting, burnout and wise working, particularly after the Covid social experience. Many terms, same statistic: six out of a hundred people in Italy are disaffected with their work according to the Gallup report. The last term, wise working, refers to various philosophies to give meaning to what one does for a living. Simply put, profit is ok, it’s part of business. However, marching only under the diktat of other people’s profit while feeling alienated and seeing a worsening future is not enough to inject zeal into the bones of workers. Every day there is quiet quitting and total disaffection with a job market that is now almost exclusively run by ‘approximate’ forms of management. Cross-referencing testimonies comes out with the same litany as a phony three euro note. There is no alternative, so lots of stick, little carrot, be unhappy and participate. Austerity is alienation too. Worth adding to the said point. If the company was satisfied with an honest profit and rewarded workers with real cost of living and represented values, the situation would change. If the various representatives represented the basic interests of their electorate, it would help. Love for a job or for one’s country does not imply total blind acceptance. Including things that are contrary to our morals. The past is often cited, leaving out vision and analysis of the present as if it were a diversion to mask a non-future and there is a further sense of alienation.Alienation, a term now almost out of use. A multifaceted concept, which concerns the transfer of one’s rights into the hands of another person/entity. Marx used it to mean a worker separated from the fruit of his own labor. Generational alienation, the death of empathy and the eternal youthfulness of the few in the name of a weak and approximate era since ‘there are no alternatives’. The fairy tale cannot translate into eternal condemnation. Man is not two-dimensional as we are led to believe, man is much more.This alienation can be seen every now and then: for example, in the intentions and participation of young people in voting for a referendum. Listening to some kids debating Yes or No outside the polls made me think that things aren’t always granted. There are ways and ways of proposing, denying the evidence. Politics is generally unappetizing if it betrays or forgets true expectations. Yes, the world is becoming worse than it already seemed. This can be observed in the protests of principle where the older generations often lower their defeated gaze and turn their watered-down conscience elsewhere.Bene dixit the Hon. Bonaccini in the article by A. Raimo on March 26 on the Huffington Post (second idea). Voters don’t promise anything, it’s up to politicians to offer convincing proposals. Simple considerations. How many employees are a hundred times better than those who manage them in various sectors? How many promises are kept? How many ordinary citizens are light years ahead of the current ruling classes? Third point, Stiglitz: modern economic wars, like those waged with bombs, involve remote bombing without seeing the faces of those they harm. Alienation. Everything revolves around a few pillars: petrodollar as the fulcrum, low interest rates, cheap energy, stable supply chains and elites.In the middle of man’s journey through history, we find ourselves in a dark forest where whoever needed to understand, has understood. Those who haven’t, either show deficits or play along. Everything has been accepted. States delegating their freedom and security into the hands of other states without the slightest benefit for their “subjects”. Young people, workers and the global south have carried a burden on their shoulders in the last three decades. Great interests of a few, like never before. A dystopian march into the alienation of the individual and society. Alienation is a fundamental sectarian tool of divide and conquer policies. Polarization of the void to leverage the greatest of sins, fear. Better to act before pondering. However, as a poet once wrote; what separates us as people is infinitely less than what separates me from my government’s choices or you from yours. Do we really want to live in an increasingly alienated world? Luca DeMeo
