Shkruar nga Ylli Pata
In the 1980s, there was a trend in Hollywood where films featuring heroes were successful. They alone made a name for themselves and triumphed over the villains, no matter how strong or how numerous they were.
Ylli Manjani, in a note of his, ironized the style of Fatmir Mediu who sees the resurrection of Christ in Sali Berisha, using the metaphor of the lute.
This metaphor immediately caught on, as it fits well with the narrative that people close to Sali Berisha have built since 2021 (when he was declared non grata by the US), that he will be resurrected, just as happened with Jesus Christ after his crucifixion by the Romans.
This fable has been misused so much over time that when it came out of Fatmir Mediu's mouth during a television interview, it seemed like it was the final straw.
In the 1980s, there was a trend in Hollywood where films featuring heroes were successful. They alone made a name for themselves and triumphed over the villains, no matter how strong or how numerous they were.
Lonely, bored, and in an identity crisis, the heroes managed to save the world. But evil doesn't end that quickly, and so the sequels, or continuations of the series of heroes that never ended, began to appear one after another. Rambo 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. Rocky 1, 2, 3, and so on. The Terminator, Chuck Norris, and many of the representatives of the hero saga continued without end.
Later, this fashion was copied by the masters of horror films with monsters and goblins. After all, the coin has two sides. Just as good multiplies, evil also has the same fate and returns to wreak havoc on humanity.
Thus began the sagas with monsters and zombies: Sharra 1, Sharra 2, Sharra 3, and they never stop until the last one, which always has the title: "Revenge!"
And to return not simply to the metaphor used by Manjani, but to the meaning in the political environment of the myth of resurrection, there is a plurality of opinion that considers it fixed as the return of the monster.
Of course, not Sali Berisha's close supporters, but if you look at the mass that has been voting for Edi Rama almost without moving since 2013, they have been convinced by the version that he brings to the electoral epic with different series.
The last of this legendary series was not about the Catalan witch, but about an owl, who stands above a large swamp, where its creatures could not come out to see what was happening above it, because the owl had enchanted them.
But what happened to the other camp? Instead of ignoring the owl's tale, or turning it into a ridiculous logic, they heroized the owl.
Even Fatmir Mediu didn't do it simply, although he worked for a long time with the late Sabri Godo, who wrote about heroes, he was not known for literature of this genre.
It was done by "professors" and "philosophers" who have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain to build the MAGA philosophy in Albania as an antagonism to Zoroism, as well as by him himself: the mythical La Civita, whom Edi Rama baptized as "Latifi", a name that, to be honest, also stuck to.
They never tired of explaining that the owl is good, that it eats insects, cleans the swampy territory and preserves the habitat where the various creatures of this reserve live. It's as if we are in the faculty of veterinary medicine or zootechnics.
Instead of wasting their energy on real politics and new ideas, they got into the quagmire that Edi Rama created, and circled around him like a gush under the bucket that falls on them on cold, snowy days.
There are one or more reasons why this happens. And it seems unlikely that we are dealing with a "crisis of creativity" of the spins that produce PR fables. Although it may be there somewhere.
What seems to be the biggest problem here, it was noticed that in all of these stories, the mythical phrase at the end is missing: "The characters or events that take place in the work are not real. They are simply the product of the author(s)' imagination..."
