We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

But, Dad, I want to be an artist

If anybody needs a sobering insight into the mindset of the European elites, they need look no further than this staggering decision from an Italian Court.

“The case revolves around a wealthy family in the southern city of Naples, where the father is still paying some $680 a month in maintenance to a son who is in his 30s and has a university law degree”.

Seems that this low-life’s parents have to continue supporting him until he finds a job which is ‘to his liking’ (which, of course, will be never). Hardly an incentive to family-life in a country that already has a negative population growth.

Understandably, the father is less than best pleased:

“I feel disgust for a country that I love. It wasn’t always like this”

Do you think it might occur to him to stop voting for it? No, course not. Silly me.
