Ost Fraktion

The fullscale purge of people and the rejoicing for their death could sound like a Nazi-style practice and an outdated concept, but virus can make the same as it reminds us the notion of natural selection. Its peculiarity is to be absolutely democratic, apolitical, transversal. A virus doesn't look at borders, age, class, gender: not because it’s good but because it's blind. Like luck and death.

​

The damned Covid-19 came forward with amazing rapidity and political choices make all the difference.

​

​Some politicians preferred to let people die and to wait for a flock effect: a kind of ultra-liberalism. It was the first choice of Boris Johnson, but he rapidly changed his mind when the number of deaths became by far the highest in Europe.

​Some others preferred to let the virus diffuse among some typologies of people: the poors living in super-dense favelas and the natives, living far from health centers.  It was the choice of Bolsonaro in Brazil, a kind of ethnic cleansing.
 

Some politicians preferred to encourage the desease as a weapon of mass destruction. If you build walls and you control ports as an occupying power, you just have to stop vaccines and it's done! Just think to Israel: Israeli people was vaccinated close to 60% (in April 2021) and Palestinians under 1%.
​We could go on speaking about the most vulnerable: outsiders, prisoners,  poors…
But we might find that we are the bad-guys, just alike a filthy virus.
