I give you a tower it gives me three incinerators

Alfred Lela

 

I will give that tower to Shkëlzen Berisha for 2 minutes, as long as it takes to read this editorial. May he enjoy it! As presented by its proponents, there is no better way to knock down an argument than to accept it.

So, Berisha Junior has a tower, the tallest in the city, and the last in the series of buildings that have been built, are under construction, or have been completed. Now, since we accepted the argument of those whom we call shall 'opponents' of Berisha for fair play, they should also take the counterargument of the 'defenders.' Who owns the rest if Shkëlzen has that one tower, the last and the mightiest among them?

To continue the game in fair play, using the same argument of the 'opponents,' we are justified in claiming that they all belong to Rama and Veliaj.  

Since, like the ancient Greeks, we laid out the argument, we can easily conclude that Berisha has a tower, and the Rama-Veliaj duo has 30 or so (I don't know how many there are exactly, and the number is arbitrary).

When Berisha is at a profound disadvantage, why do the 'opponents' sing all this doomsday? Shouldn't they be shouting for those who have 30? Is their problem with the towers or with Berisha?

Opponents know the answer. They have a problem with the 'political tower' of Berisha or with him as a 'political tower.' Of course, they have to clothe their anger with moral garments. The moral trap is the net into which fall all those whose mind, both imaginary and analytical, allows them to chew only one argument. The argument takes value from their spiritual, mental, and political predisposition. It is the phenomenon known as the echo chamber. So you listen, accept, and stimulate only those 'truths' that do not conflict with your beliefs/predispositions.

What is the moral garment I am talking about? Berisha and his ilk are also thieves who shout about corruption and theft. So they are hypocrites. The attempt of this argument disguised with morality is twofold: it perjures people but also their intentions or their political institutions. So Berisha, along with his supporters and the Democratic Party in opposition.

The ancient formula requires not only the overthrow but also the destruction and humiliation of the opponent.

These opponents prefer to be used, or are used, as levelers. Since it is the crisis of the three incinerators, the tower crisis must be invented. That's how things level up. The big bad is not so big anymore because, you see, there are incinerators, but also a tower.

Finally, here's an exercise for those who dare to peak out of the echo chamber. Take the anti-Berisha press now and compare it to the anti-Berisha media when he was in power. In different periods, you will find in those years a great upheaval for the South Coast being taken by the "Berisha's people." Sometimes it was Shkëlzeni and sometimes Argita, and occasionally other rednecks, which spoiled the beauty of Saranda and also Delvina (the latter has no sea, but the levelers can make anything happen. Their sanctity makes even the Hymalayas an ocean).

But something has happened, really funny, which makes you laugh hard. Edi Rama has just given 5.8 million square meters to strategic investors, announced as such by his grace. 52 building projects will be spread across this land of the Adriatic and South Ionian coast, of which only two are entirely foreign. So, the big concreting of the South coast is coming. Why don't levelers talk about this? Because there are moral clothes, but also other garments.

As for my laugh, I need to retake the territorial argument. I repeat: 5.8 million square meters of coastline. Suppose you remember the noise 15 years ago. In that case, as Berisha, and the northern rednecks, were grabbing all the lands on the coast, the mind flew to a territorial amass of at least 10.2 million square meters.

Then, as a being of supreme intelligence, you will say: yes, but the coast of our South is not like that of Chile (you can see on the map that geographic longitude resembling the leg of a Latin woman in tango).

And, you're right, it isn't.

But the levelers will have their say. The more noise they make, the more work they have been given. They are like those tasked to open their grave, under the illusion that the longer they take farther is the end.
