The last kilometer like the penultimate one and the question of Nastradin

The protest called by Sali Berisha brought nothing new. Poor in scenography, few in numbers, repetitive in action and messages.
From start to finish, a repetition of a previous protest, and it even seemed like the entire protest was being done for those final shots of Berisha at the end, as he holds the flag in his hand, the camera focuses on the fireworks and Molotov cocktails being thrown towards the prime minister's office.
Visually, it is the most recognizable image, which starting today will be making the rounds in all national and international media. Because that's all Berisha needs: to show the world that something is brewing here. But in the meantime, the world understands that when there are protests without victims, democracy works.
The paradox is that in Albania there are indeed hundreds of reasons to protest, but the cause and the opposition have been taken hostage by an individual for his own troubles. People understand this, which is why they do not stand up and join the opposition. At the very least, they are indifferent.
Well, let's go back to the last kilometer. He repeated it again today. "We are in the last kilometer - we are at the most critical moment of the last 35 years." And as he said this, he added that 'the opposition can never win with Edi Rama'. He said it literally! There is no more defeatist message. They have deified Rama and then lie to the supporters, come on, we will overthrow him with a peaceful protest. Share your thoughts: Can you defeat Edi Rama or not?!
And as I see this Sisyphean repetition of Berisha's protests and rhetoric, I am reminded of Nastradini Hoxha, who would gather the men of the village one by one and ask them if they knew why he had gathered them and summoned them. When they said 'no', he would say: 'If you don't know, why are you coming'; and when they said 'yes', he would reply: 'Well, if you do know, why should you come!' He would repeat it so often that at one point they decided that when he called them again, some would say 'yes' and some would say 'no'. And as they did so, Nastradini replied: "Very well! Those who know should tell those who don't know, and those who don't know should learn from those who do!"
And this thing about Berisha's protest, the last kilometer and the impossibility of victory against Edi Rama even after the penultimate kilometer: Those who know should tell those who don't know, while those who don't know should learn from those who do.
