fakers

I’ve noticed that strange things are happening around me lately.

At first I thought it was my thing, sometimes I tend to be exaggerated in my loves and heartbreaks, in what I am passionate about and in what I am not, but after carefully analyzing everything I have discovered that no, everything I have experienced is real, surreal situations , events that border on the paranormal, various impostors, empty conversations, exhibitions, absurd books and movies, invented lives, a nonsense that I could not understand until I discovered that each of these events has a kind of person behind it, ‘The Faker’, a liar, envious, incapable of generating without copying, destructive, usurper of intelligence and enemy of quality.

The figure of the phony has proliferated in a way that is even frightening, no matter if it is in politics, culture or in your day to day life, but this new kind of individual is taking over our environment like a virus, slowly but surely. sure, look around you, sure you haven’t even noticed, but they are there, pretending to seem what they will never be.

In general, the faker signs up for everything. That now it’s time to be from Podemos, because he considers himself very modern and liberal, because there goes the first podemita on the list proclaiming his new identity from the rooftops; if tomorrow he has to be from the PP or the PSOE, nothing happens, he does not have any type of prejudice when changing from one side to another. That now the thing is about animals because the most of the most is to have one –it looks very good on the networks–, well, take a bug, yes, yours will always be the funniest, most ingenious and funniest. If what he has to do is be intellectual, he will put all his effort into seeming so, the haughty pose, the slow voice, the look as if raised and a certain sonority when speaking that is actually the result of listening to his own words, an undoubted sign that this great liar above all feels a great love for his own person. It can even be the most atheist of all – not for lack of belief, but rather for reasons of modernity, we already know that being modern has a price – and in one fell swoop become almost an emblem of the purest spirituality; In three months he will be an atheist again or not, it all depends on the script that he has to represent. His life motto could well be that of ‘sheltering under the shade of the best tree’, because in reality the only thing that moves his actions, apart from his own vanity, is interest, be it economic, social, or causal, since when he achieves his objective everything is the result of the purest causality and where I said before I say, now I say Diego, like this over and over again.

In the world of art there are also fakers, of course, and in addition to very diverse types, you know that in this sector we are very creative and in this aspect we were not going to be less. If we go into the field of cultural managers, and here I include not only independent curators but all those who work in departments, ministries, museum management, public rooms and all kinds of visual arts in general, they are the most of the most in all senses, let us remember that we always speak of the frauds, this perception is not extended to the rest of the members of this sector. Expressions like “this is cool”, “it’s fashionable”, “you’ll see, you leave it to me, I do know what the latest trend is”, “I’m an expert in cultural management”, “I’m up to date with the latest modernities several”, “I’m going to set up a beach bar for you, this is going to be like being in New York”. The worst thing is that they really believe it, although later, as soon as you have a few lights or some culture, you realize that in reality they have no fucking idea, the knowledge of the three-month master’s degree they did does not reach more . Be careful, this is the most dangerous of the fraudsters, he tries to make us believe that they know how to manage the culture that we all have to consume later and, not only that, we will also have to pay with our taxes, money that is only used to fatten up their absurd ego, very modern, yes, but for little else. Since I don’t want to offend any feelings, I’m not going to give names for now, but I invite you to do the test in your city, look a little further and analyze what it offers you, surely you have cultural fakers controlling some other space. There is nothing worse than a mediocre with pretensions of intellectuality, they are more than unbearable, self-indulgent, raised on a false roof of professionalism, and completely absurd in most cases.

All the fakers are also usually quite mediocre people, I don’t mean professionally, that too, but poor in essence and spirit. They do not feel the slightest attachment to other people, that of the empathy of others, whether for a co-worker, neighbor or acquaintance, is totally alien to their person. In that eagerness to look only at their navel, that of the rest to take for cu…, sorry, I meant that they are not interested in the least, they are capable of doing anything. And this is literal. They are vain to the extreme, they are the ones who know the most and the rest…, those are some idiots who don’t know anything about this. The saddest thing is that some manage to thrive until they colonize positions of great political, social and cultural relevance.

Many have chosen to develop their vanities towards the path of literature. Needless to say, almost all of them are a real pain in the ass, when they speak it seems that they are sparing the life of the rest of humanity and when they write…, uff, they are capable of boring the most attentive reader, and that is that copying the quotes that others wrote before, giving them a certain air of philosophical discourse, there is no body that can resist it; true philosophy is much more complicated than all that and more interesting of course.

Fakers are everywhere, unfortunately they are like an epidemic that spreads too fast…, in art, in cinema, in theater, dance, design, even in music and fashion. Don’t be fooled, what they have disguised in the form of “a very risky proposal that will surely change the life of the city” is really only the result of their lack of capacity, creativity and criteria.

Dear fakers of the world, remember that nothing is eternal, neither is your farce.
