      It is just a reinforcement for us. He has probably never had more than the ever-elusive ‘fleeting high’. He’s in a skinner box, where he has already maxed out the ill effects of one of our more powerful tools (money). He has to go to ever further extents to quiet the demons that most of us had to cope with since adolescence.

      To drive the point home, he’ll never be able to make any new authentic connections in his life (if he ever could in the past). While it is a bit copium, and I am as frothy in the mouth about his antics as any well-meaning individual, I do find it one of the constant, if smallest, wins.

      He’s getting married in Venice with all of his friends there. People are protesting because Venice is pretty crowded with tourists and vulnerable to climate change. Also he’s Jeff Bezos.

        It’s not the wedding. It’s that he wanted to take over the entire centre of Venice.

        Honestly, that doesn’t strike me as a ton of money for his wedding. He must not care too much for this wife.

    It’s like Italy doesn’t even have their own politics anymore, it’s only America. Not a single politician in Italy. No Mafia, no fascists, Mussolini didn’t have a daughter, nothing. Absolutely nothing that they could be distracted from. Just America.

        Law after law the government is criminalizing protests. In St Mark’s Square any non-authorized protest is prohibited so even a sit-in could result in breaking the law. Here’s the moment they arrested someone in a wheelchair:

        Italy has a fascist government, and the council of Venice is pro Bezos, claiming that somehow he has more right to rent Venice than its citizens have to live in it.

      I’m glad you are. I love the “No Kings” slogan and that other countries are taking it up. I wish they would call the next protest in America “No Kings II, then whatever they were going to call it here.” I guess we could could call it unofficially, “No Kings II.”

          From the outside looking in, the pageantry of it all is probably why it sticks. You also have someone to talk about. We get the drama of US citizens and immigrants being sent to concentration camps or prisons in other countries.
