Mirror, mirror on the wall
Leitura: 4 minThat the world is crazy, it is already known. But especially in the last few years, it’s getting crazy FOR REAL. There is clearly a reinvention of itself, an (in)human evolution when it comes to making people angry.
There are potential food and water shortages, global warming, police violence, all that shit, Bolsonaro’s election, and even a lawyer who calls herself a “doctor” becoming a DJ. And regulating all of this apotheotic and apocalyptic shit, came a pandemic. Then, my friend, it just got too much. The people are trying to figure it out. And some people do everything they can to put an end to everyone’s tiny remaining mental health.
But today, just for today, I am not even gonna talk about Brazil. This country that seems to be a mixture of a comedy series with Sci-Fi and a drama with soft porn of the 80s. No, we do not deserve this. Today it shall be about love.
This is about international news indeed. From the continent of the looters of nations.
I am reading the news in the German media and BAM, in my face, here is the headline:
*in the state of Öberösterreich, Austria, because anti-vax people believe it helps against Covid”)
I almost spit on my cell phone. It was a mixture of surprise and anger. Austria, man! The land of Schubert, of Schwarzenegger (famous “Hasta la vista, baby”), even of Christopher Waltz, the crazy guy who helps Django in the movie. Fuck, bro, how could it be?
As I read the article, I got impressed by the news that there is a shortage of anti-parasite medication for horses and cows. Yes, you’ve supposed right: ivermectin! It has reached such a level that the president of the Austrian Pharmaceutical Council, Thomas Veitschegger, said that the medicine has been imported from France, dude! Can you even get it? And it goes even further: he warns that people who bought the drug are taking doses RECOMMENDED FOR HORSES! “There are already cases of intoxication,” he said.
LOOK. AT. THIS.
THAT’S SUCH A BULLSHIT.
But do you think it’s over? Of course not!
As we all know, due to the vertiginous increase in cases of Covid infection, the Austrian government has observed astonished the urgency of imposing a lockdown for all those who refuse to vaccinate and/or haven’t got infected previously and charge anyone on the street who dare to do it. This, itself, is already ridiculous. Imposing to a lot of adults that they must vaccinate to reduce the risk of killing others. But we already know that’s not enough, there is an intrinsic need to make us feel angry, as individuals and as people.
Then an anti-vaccine guy went to a party full of people, a “Corona-Party”, with the GOAL of getting infected, because, he thought, if he got recovered from the illness, he wouldn’t be arrested on the street for not having been vaccinated. He tried to figure a way to handle it, to avoid the possible charges. Well, he actually succeeded: he got covid. And he died. I am saying: this person passed away of covid because he didn’t want to get vaccinated. Can you get how insane it is?
All this is a consequence of a strong campaign against the vaccine by the president of a … far-right party. Herbert Kickl is the name of this main character. The guy and his followers defend “early treatment” as “PLAN B against the virus”, yes! That’s right! And they even claim that the restrictive measures at the peak of the pandemic were a “restriction of freedom”.
The Journalists over there make fun of the party leader. Because you see, this is ridiculous. Check out this Tweet from a journalist there:
And I have a pretty good guess to which of those hypotheses applies…”
Armin Wolf, Austrian journalist)
Not to mention the meme pages, right? Check this one out:
“Hey, and why?”
“Hey, bro, you won’t believe it!”)
But, ok, ok, memes and ridicule aside,
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON, MAN?
I know, you wondered the whole time if I was really talking about Austria until you figured out the names, full of consonants, and tried to pronounce it, confirming that I’m telling the truth. But the truth is that you were, as I was, wondering
who has copied all this atrocity from whom?
Maybe Bolsonaro did manage to export something during his government.
The world is over.
