Colonialism, after having been exercised through new forms called neocolonialism, is today taking on a completely new guise. This further evolution of colonialism concerns everyone, even and above all the Western populations themselves who in the past were guilty of colonial crimes and who today, while still trying to benefit from neocolonialism, themselves become victims of a more sophisticated colonialism. I am talking about that kind of colonialism that controls territories and populations from within, not from national borders but from within individuals, their minds and bodies, which have become new lands to control and exploit. This hypodermic, cognitive, genetic, behaviorist and digitalized colonialism has not yet found a definition either in the academic or journalistic fields. I propose here to define it Colonialism 4.0, in line with the WEF vocabulary. The control and manipulation of data, from whatever source they come from or to whatever target they are addressed to: biomolecular organisms or digital wallets, social networks or individual behaviors, telemedicine or pre-crime police, represent the new form of colonialism that I define as 4.0.

Politically Incorrect Art. Excerpt from the Parresiarte Manifesto A void seems to have seduced the souls of artists, conformed to the other-directed flattening of dissidence. Deprived of the art of opposing the barbarism of state abuses and engaged in pleasing the funders of commonplaces. Indifferent and complicit aphasia on canvas and in the square. Art is intimately linked to freedom, as creativity draws from the source of freedom of expression. In tyrannical epoch, art represents the inalienable part of unlimited human creativity and the will for truth and freedom. Long live the free gesture, instinct, and the irrational that exorcise the creative immobilism of authoritarian periods, but the historical moment requires creatively reaffirming freedom and truth, as critical thinking and doubt, foundational elements of reason, are adrift today. We reject the schemes of political opportunism; we know we will be attacked, but we do not desist from the desire for a society based on non-authoritarian principles, and we use expressiveness as a means of human emancipation and its free political imagination. Placing ourselves in the groove of the ancient virtue of parrhesia, from a position of subalternity, we have the courage of truth and spit it in the face of power. We navigate political discourse on the ship of art. Parresiart is the art responsible for freedom. The poetics of parresiart expresses the inner reality provoked by authoritarian policies implemented with shock by intergenerational and transnational criminals who decide behind closed doors the fate of billions of individuals. Artistic resistance, far from pure art and the good intentions of the social function—often declined as mere propaganda of cultural structures—bursts into the heart of the vertical struggle, delves into fundamental issues, brings emotions and thoughts influenced by the observation of the political environment to the surface. This must be reaffirmed by an art that rediscovers the taste of semantic and pragmatic rebellion, subversive of the prevailing illogical and in rejection of politically correct canons of globalist Agendas and, consequently, toothless arts. Parresiart does not want to educate but to dis-educate, to deconstruct the archipelago of institutionalized meanings. A pragmatic function that stimulates political critical thinking through the use of the art object, which makes one doubt what is considered right or inevitable.
