- People with autism are advised to go for a walk with a blue scarf or badge so that they are not insulted or persecuted through windows and balcones.Es a well-intentioned recommendation, but all the alarms of good sense must be turned on. To this must be added the unjustified attacks; the last, especially dramatic, has taken place in the San Francisco district of Bilbao. These attacks are carried out by police of different colors that often applaud them and animate them from windows and balconies. We must therefore recognise that this is a real problem.
At this harsh time of the health crisis, we are proud of the solidarity attitude of thousands of workers who are essential to life care, to deal with the risks of care, cleaning and disinfection tasks. When we point out with affection and approval to the thousands of collaborating volunteers, at the same time, we must show our indignation at all these unsolidarity and totalitarian attitudes.
This health crisis should lead us to rethink life, to rethink our relationship model. It is time to build life models of solidarity; to interact with life and people in the center; from respect for others, from empathy with what they suffer, from suffering for their own situation or, as in most cases, for external reasons, for social injustice. The capitalist model of society has introduced individualistic sentiment into society. We must confront this feeling and we must overcome it from the collective, because from the collective and from the unit of class we will be able to face a policy that from individualization justifies privatization and the denial of the common good.
"This health crisis has to lead us to rethink life, to rethink our relationship model. It's time to create life models of solidarity, to interact with life and people in the center."
It is time that fascist and totalitarian attitudes were part of the past, inherited from the culture of the oppressive, police and militaristic State that has been so animated these days. The health crisis cannot serve to justify the order of force, the crisis cannot justify a military institution that collects one third of what is destined for health according to "public" data. The crisis must serve to focus our attention on the need to defend what is essential and what is necessary, on what helps us live.
It's time for reason to overcome the force and collective hysteria, to look at the moon; it's not time to look at the "accuser" finger that points us out.
There's always been plenty of balcony whistles that you don't see beyond your navel, and gorillas that, hidden behind a plate or a uniform, emerge their worst instinct, now more than ever. Those who deserve our real rejection are their attitudes and all those who represent it.
A hug of “blue scarf”.
