pearl of wisdom/the anti-brusketta theory

Going through old stuff, in my memory and in my ‘computer archive’ (!?), I found this pearl of wisdom.

Originally written in Italian by the evergreen, never-forgotten, enlightened feminist-punk-trash band Fucking Barbies [yes, they are friends of mine.. but they were genius anyway!!], I thought it really needed to be translated in English… so, it is with humble respect that I offer it to you...

--------------------------------
Important note: bruschetta (o brusketta if you want to be ‘alternative’) is an Italian food, usually a starter, consisting of a slice of bread, toasted, with something on top, such as: garlic salt and olive oil, or olives pate’, or chopped tomatoes.. etc.. In this specific case, in my reading of its etymological origin, the term is used in its symbolic meaning of something/someone sticking or spreading itself on something/someone else..
--------------------------------


The ‘anti-brusketta’ is a highly revolutionary theory which can dismantle the central nucleus of our society: the monogamous couple, closed in itself, particularly heterosexual.

How to diagnosticate a ‘brusketta’?

The main points:
1. sudden lack of interest towards those various social activities previously enjoyed with friends,
2. annihilation of yourself ‘in’ the other person,
3. complete habituation to the daily routine that the ‘brusketta’ imposes (the tunnel) and consequent illusion of the self-sufficiency of the couple,
4. total disinterest in your activities, oblivion of your inclinations and aspirations with consequent psychophysical decay,
5. shameless face in reappearing to your friends, previously forgotten, as soon as the relationship is dramatically finished.

The ‘brusketta’ is therefore responsible for the failure of each and every antagonist or revolutionary theory conceptualised so far; accordingly, it is responsible for the existing sexist, patriarchal and capitalistic system.
