Who Works Is Lost (Chi lavora è perduto) – Tinto Brass

Translated from Italian by me (WTFPL).

The world be damned, breaking your back for a slice of bread. Damned be the world, either you die of hunger or you die or boredom.

The world is not for the fools […], it’s for those who know how to conform, accustom, adapt. Like Gianni, who became fossilized as a city hall’s white-collar.

Here, or in prison, or in the asylum.

Doing what everyone else is doing: there you have it, the great democratic rule.
