My hate towards my home country and the people who lead it.

Premise: This is the expression of all the hate I've held inside of me for all this years. I don't mean to offend anyone with this, but to only express what I feel deep inside of me. I also excuse myself with the mods if any of this will come off as offensive or inappropriate. I just can't stop feeling the way I'm feeling right now. I also excuse myself for all the grammar errors that will be in this post. The important thing is to get this out of myself or else I might break down.
I know most of you won't be able to give a single fuck. I'm not writing this because I want you to. I'm doing this for myself, I'm doing this to vent all the hate that is inside of me right now, because I don't want to be the victim of my own hate.
Just do me a favor. If you don't care, or have an unneeded comment, please refrain from posting it. Do it as a personal favor towards me, please.
Today has been a fine day for me. I hanged out with my friends in the evening, ate pizza and had fun. Then, I walked home. As usual, I sat back on my PC and started browsing FP. At some point, I decided to browse the headlines, to look for some international news to giggle at. When the page loads, a name jumps instantly to my eyes. "BERLUSCONI", written in caps. That's the name of the president of Italy. He's been the president almost without interruptions since 1994, the year I was born in.
Then I read the rest of the title:
[URL="http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1121937?p=32065249#post32065249"]BERLUSCONI: "I Don't Give A Fuck", Italy Makes Me Feel Like Puking[/URL]
I was shaken, to say the least, from such a title. What is our beloved president upon, now, I wondered.
I opened the thread. I read. I read about how Mr. Silvio Berlusconi, the president of Italy, has been able to say that his country is shit and makes him puke.
I sat there, looking at the words, trying to find some other meaning in them, not being able to believe that he's been able to say such a thing. He's always been in my black-list of hated people, and as well as mine he's probably in the list of many other people in this country. This isn't the first time he says something bad towards Italy or the people who live in Italy. But this, this was the last straw.
Then it hit me. It hit me like a train. It hit me so hard my chest started to hurt for the anger that was boiling inside me.
I am usually a calm person. I don't get angry, I don't shout, I don't hit things with my fists and I don't hate anyone. But this time, something broke inside of me. I've clearly heard it break.
This guy, he's been holding a reign of bullshit, lies, insults, disrespect and hatred for 16 years - since I was born.
If you lived here, and were a person who is able to see what happens around them, you could clearly see the place sink in a pool of shit with no apparent bottom.
Every time you think you've seen the worst, it gets worse.
The news are enslaved to the power. Daily, you hear reports about the arguments of politician over the most pointless of things while everything goes worse. Things get harder for people, they get less money, it gets harder to live every day. And what do they do? They argue about their salary. And that's just one of the stupid things they spend their worthless time blabbing about.
The parliament is worse than a stadium. Politicians throw stuff and swear at each other. They bring in flags and sing anti-patriotic hymns.
Why do they do that? They are paid tenfold the amount a construction worker gets. And what for? To rule this country into chaos.
Now, you'll say, "Gabriele, don't you think the rest of the world is like that too? Trust me, it really is. You're no exception.". I don't think so, sorry. I believe myself to be quite conscious of what happens in the world and I have [B]never [/B]heard of such a bad and unrepresentative president for all of the time I've been around. I don't believe any president has ever dared going as far as publicly hate-speaking about his own nation. I believe this should be considered a severe offence, yet nobody does nothing about it. And that's because they're not in power. They can't. During his reign, Berlusconi did everything in order to barricade himself from law. He aimed to be special and he's become exactly what he wanted: untouchable.
Now, even though I've always bore (even though with huge difficulty) all of the stuff he's done, and you could write an entire book about it, this was the last straw.
I'll warn you. From now on begins a very personal part of the rant. Don't read it if you don't want to. Even though the subject of this will never probably read it, I feel like talking directly to him, to get this out of myself.
I believe I've never been so angry during my entire life.
It has never happened to me to wish suffering to somebody, but now it has, and I'm really serious about it. Even though nobody will ever be able to do anything about it, I wish you could suffer from a pain no man has ever suffered. I wish you could realize how much is the harm you've done, just because of your uncontrollable greed, your hunger for power and money. I wish you could realize you're but a coward, who has used the lives of thousands of undeserving people for his own pleasure, like lifeless puppets.
And what for? We're all going to die sooner or later. You're pretty high up in the list. You're old. Your mind is starting to play tricks on you. You're slowly going insane. And yet you persist in your endless greed of power.
There are people who have spent their life with their back curved, picking up wheat. They ruined their health, just to be able to bring home some money to buy some food for their children.
I ask you, what have you done? You were born in a wealthy family. You never raised a finger in your entire life, if not to point it towards the people who had to succumb to your abuse.
You have ruined Italy. But it was already ruined. It's ruined in the roots, it is suffering from a cancer that will never be healed. You just contributed. People came before you who did the same, but you've been the worst so far, because you've had the courage to do it in front of us, under the sun, and just excuse yourself like it was nothing. No, you haven't even excused yourself. To the poor people who came to you accusing you of your many crimes, your reply was a spit in the face.
Even though you'll probably be dead (and I very much hope so) when me and my generation will be old enough to have to care for ourselves, the signs of the damage you've done will be still visible and hitting us all in the head daily.
It makes me sad to say so, but Italy has no destiny. You've contributed to give it the last straw. You made it crumble into the mess it is today, which is sadly beyond repair.
Italy doesn't want me anymore, and I don't want it either. It's not my loving home anymore. It's not the place which makes me feel safe and happy. Not anymore.
I hope that there will ever be a way for me to save myself and give myself a life in a more civil nation than this one. I hope for this for every other Italian citizen, too. But sadly, there are people who are destined to live in this, and it was not their fault.
Again, mods and everyone, excuse this rant. I needed to vent. I just hope you'll appreciate my effort. And even if you won't, thanks for reading anyway. The thing I hope the most is also some serious discussion. I hope this thread will not become the umpteenth thread dedicated to hatred and insults towards cultures and people you think you know, but in reality you don't.
Finally, I wish mods (and possibly even garry) would be able to get out of their passive role and actually join into the discussion. You're the wisest people on the forum for what I know, and it would be very nice to be able to hear from you.
Good night.

That's some powerful stuff, man.
Isn't Berlusconi really (in)famous for having lots of sex with lots of women or am I thinking of a different sex-crazed world leader?
[QUOTE=TheBrokenHobo;32067393]Isn't Berlusconi really (in)famous for having lots of sex with lots of women or am I thinking of a different sex-crazed world leader?[/QUOTE]Yes, that's him, but I couldn't care less about him having sex with all the bitches in this world. That's the minor stuff. It's the other stuff he's done that ruined the lives of all of us.
He could get fucked in the ass for what I care about his sexuality.
that's some powerful shit right there
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;32067380]Good read.
Hopefully things will look up in the future, man.[/QUOTE]Future is the utopia we've all been brainwashed about by the television. There is no future. It's all just an endless, repeating chain. As Berlusconi came and went, somebody else as worth as him will soon succeed him, like it happened with him.
your talking about italy and your post says your in america?
Damn nice read.
Let the old fucker die, he probably will suffer for every crap he have done.

Its a bug in the flagdog, every OP is listed as American.
This sounds like something a [url=http://youtu.be/1VR1bOha40U]collage student would say in the cafe before the French Revolution.[/url] I'm not criticizing you at all, I just think you sound like someone with a healthy opinion for politics, as well as being quite informed of the situation, which hits him at the heart.
Sadly I can't do anything about this situation, being a simple American among many living the suburban dream in a country with its own problems.
get out, commie

Flagdog does that, check the post above you.
Would anybody like to see a critique of this? If so rate agree and I'll write one up.
Man that was well written.
This bit right here:

ahh i see
Damn I'm Italian, I have family in Italy, tell me OP how is Naples doing rn?
Is it just me, or are the headlines getting worse every passing week? Maybe I'm just forgetting how bad the last week's headlines were.
Looks like Italy is becoming America.
Good read by the way. Welcome to the 21st century, where every country is corrupt in its own right.
Canada is still pretty cool though.

There's still garbage and crimes everywhere,things haven't changed a bit.
OP, your post is inspiring.
<3
[QUOTE=drfeelgood223;32068941]get out, commie[/QUOTE]I am not a commie. You don't need to have a political side. You just have to follow the people who are good for your country, no matter what their political side is. Sadly, there are none.

[QUOTE=bluesky;32070045]Damn I'm Italian, I have family in Italy, tell me OP how is Naples doing rn?[/QUOTE]Berlusconi promised that he'd get rid of the garbage in the streets around 2 years ago and countless other times. It's always been the same. The problem there is the camorra, a criminal organization, who are currently making a lot of money by promising to recycle garbage and instead just throwing it around the countryside.
That's why I said Berlusconi is not the only cancer of this place. There are plenty more, and they'd be almost impossible to get rid of.
Well you guys are lucky you even have a government look at belgium more than a year and the politicians are still fucking around.
[QUOTE=cdrw5;32073112]Well you guys are lucky you even have a government look at belgium more than a year and the politicians are still fucking around.[/QUOTE]To be honest, right now I'd prefer not having one.
I would like to see a revolution in Italy. For the better, of course.
All the best
I've always wondered why he was in power and why the people never stood up against him. It seems so obvious that he needs to go. Not in 10 years. Now.
[QUOTE=Canned Induvidual;32073363]I would like to see a revolution in Italy. For the better, of course.
All the best[/QUOTE]It has been tried. Our politicians made us end up looking like the fools. Also because of the people who take riots as occasions to throw Molotov cocktails at police cars. Those are the worst assholes.

But that's just what they do. Argue like little children.
At best a waste of tax money.

Are you stupid?
First of all, in other posts you can see he has ITALIAN flag.
He is known to be Italian.
It has been said countless times that it's a bug with OPs and Flagdog.
Jesus.
