The famous phrase. "Who speaks badly, think badly, and lives badly. We need to find the right words: words are important! " By Nanni Moretti in "Palombella Rossa", he underlines the importance of words. Words define the object of our interest but highlight the essence of the subject expressing them. Words are the mirror of quality of life. But an important aspect of words is their shared meaning. It is necessary that it is the issuer and the word receiver attribute to them the same meaning.
In this case there is communication and understanding, otherwise incense and division are obtained. It is undoubted that we are experiencing a period of misunderstanding by an equivocal use of the words, but the misunderstanding is favored and also increased when the discrepancy between meaning and behavior, when the acts are in dissonance with the message and the meaning perceived. The worst case is the message situation perceived as hypocritical followed by dissonant and vessal behavior, an obvious hypocritophilia situation. When hypocritophilia is a predominant component in the ruling class of a democracy, there is a regime of oligarchic hypocritocracy.
The situation of an elite without ethical and moral parameters shared with the citizens dedicated to the mere exercise of power, justifying the rotten piled with the note and abused phrase: "Without us it would be worse". Hypocritocracy is a structural component of totalitarian and vessor regimes, it is a disease in democratic regime. It is not necessary for hypocritocracy to be perceived and identified by the majority of the population, it is sufficient that it is refused by a minority of citizens to undermine the principle of democratic legitimacy.
In a democracy the majority chooses who governs and manages power, but it is the minority that legitimizes the majority government by recognizing the right to exercise power even if, and precisely because, it is not an expression of its positions. In democracy the democratic legitimacy boil is the prerogative of the minority. Missing the requirement of democratic legitimacy you can have governments compliant with laws but not politically legitimate, unfortunately it is what happened in recent years in Italy, the game of mutual deligitimacy between the different sides has led to the split between citizens and institutions, which They are delegitimates from time to time.
