Humanity is a risk to be run. Against green pass, compulsory vaccination and much more
We have understood for a time that the various questions that present themselves to the world are not disconnected. A world of war presents its bill of misery, dead, people running away. An exploited and polluted planet presents its bill in terms of climate change, devastation of nature, diseases and more people running away. In a world where accumulation of wealth means accumulation of power, the consequence is exclusion and repression of those who can’t access this wealth. These arguments, repeated for centuries, don’t seem to be hitting the point in a period when all the conditions described are becoming quickly and exponentially real. The discourses made around the pandemic, health and the repressive and commodified management that followed, how can they be separated from all the rest?
How is it possible to look at war, going on in many countries of the world, for which arms sellers (Italy in the lead) are responsible to the marrow, and not realize to what extent militarism has also invaded our everyday lives, with a continuous request for obedience and discipline? How is it possible to regard and oppose big works and nocivities that devastate and colonize a territory and not realize that the profit and exploitation which are their causes are the same as those that regulate the production and administration of vaccines (or rather genetic therapies) which are using billions of bodies around the world as guinea pigs, because it is capitalism we are talking about?
Finally, how is it possible not to realize the security, discriminatory and totalitarian grasp that the use of an instrument such as the green pass implies? It is not only sociality that will be precluded for many people who refuse vaccination so as to stigmatize those who decide to continue to choose, but many people will find themselves dealing with survival, suspended from work and unable to find another job. What should be intimate and personal, to be vaccinated or not, becomes constant blackmail to be shown off and paraded, to be constantly controlled, to be punished.
Humanity is a risk to be run. To obey and passively accept what is unjust will only tighten the chains, for everyone. Because freedom is not a frontier, it increases wherever that of others increases and vice-versa. On the contrary, instruments such as the green pass are instruments of control, blackmail, exclusion and as such are unacceptable. No longer human beings, just numbers and codes. It is important to refuse to request it, download it or exhibit it wherever possible. And not care about the legal consequences. Not give in to the blackmail of fear, and practice solidarity.
Because no important change is possible without opposition and refusal.
