Targeted Citizens

Is it the role of the State there that me, my family, and many social groups, described as endangered groups, determine what dangers they must face? Is solidarity with these groups at the same time a deep lack of solidarity, with those whose total impasse, Lockdown, destroys their existence? The tools that politics is operating on go beyond the health-epidemiological aspect. The state sends police to the streets (in some places and the army) to isolate and spy on its citizens. It's about my protection and those next to me. So either dead or selfish freedom. But doesn't that sound a little suspicious. Is not the State behaving like those violent parents who want to defend their children by means of wiretapping or punishment?

Instead of feeling caring, I feel frustrated. Because the State, who cares so much about my health, is so passive to other long - known health risks? He makes money without hesitation with tobacco and alcohol. It is surprisingly reserved for the food industry, in which sugar and other harmful ingredients take their top place. Of all we know today about the choreography, the factors mentioned above bring more dead and suffering than Covid-19.

Not only that. Countries governed with such differences as Poland, Spain, Italy and Germany because of the Corona crisis decided equally on the sharp turn in our psychic, social and economic lives. At the same time, they fail spectacularly in logistic and technical-administration initiatives. Why cannot the sick be systematically transported from region to region to protect them from death in crowded hospitals? There is indeed a Bergamo and Madrid, but there are other regions where there are few sick people. And if viewed as the EU as all, there are at any time beds available for intensive treatment. Where is solidarity so spoken of by our governments?

Spectacular, massive bans seem more and more like a tactic to hide disaster management. No virus, but the system malfunction makes people die unnecessarily. I think we have to do here with a failure that we with emotional pressure have to pay with surveillance and isolation. This seems like a new populism, health populism.

In the flow of images and figures, which should convince me, to inform me correctly of the disaster said to exist, I have a strong feeling that I am being manipulated. Because if you look more closely, the mathematical patterns for the spread of pandemic, the death figures of the sick in large measure emerge from arbitrary construction. The questions, how it is counted, how it is measured, and why it is reported what is set aside. A great stream of information seems like a matrix: overwhelming, hypnotising, always with right, but the connection of this flow to the world is, said softly, unclear.

At a time that Matrix places Europeans in great uncertainty. Soon, many people believe that it is legitimate, in the name of a supposed solidarity of the general good to sacrifice freedom and ethical values. I'm afraid many of these freedoms will never come back. Just as few as those who gave in to Islamist assassinations and have not returned.

Because there is also an authoritarian mentality in health population. On one side concerned citizens, who immediately called the police to show the country to visitors to the park and participants at “Corona-party”. So bad is the matter with our democracy and civic solidarity, that we don't have a single dose of trust in our fellow citizens, but we call the state camera immediately?

On the other hand, there were just as many who claimed in a loud voice that they were sick of this pace of life. At last we have quiet, there are fewer people on the street, you don't have to travel by plane, so you can breathe quietly. Such an attitude melts naive romanticism with authoritarian haughtiness. Do we really need complete paralysis for a change in the pace of life? And can you judge that everyone is safe in his home without fear for the future?

Health populism, the power of the Matrix, and the expectations of concerned citizens, that the state must create security, pay neither, remember that other populism -- war on terror. There are strange parallels. As in the case of alcohol and tobacco sales, even then countries allegedly as engaged in fighting terrorism did not reduce arms sales, rather expanded them. There was an inflow of images of <x0). ” factors that “approved” risks. Wars were started, general questioning, various life - styles that were not changed but stigmatized. And the rest of the citizens put themselves under more strict surveillance.

The flights are through. The number of victims, compared to <x0mnet” used in this low war. At a time when these “tools”, which are used in the name of general goods and security are still in operation. Wars against terror continue, surveillance, restrictions and stigmatisation, as have explosives within society. Will that happen to the virus? / DW/
