Trapped carnivals, how long?

This year, on Tuesday, 16 February, we had the carnival. In our society, we have an ancestral smell to celebrate carnivals. Symbolically, thanks to a ritualized artistic act, at this time the social roles of each other are established, those who are not touched by ordinary justice are judged and condemned, we have the opportunity to make a rigorous and joyful self-criticism. In many places, the dissatisfied of the year are cleansed by fire and, together with the awakening of nature, society recovers its bad breath. In the valley of Bateaching-Alduce, during the carnivals, the elegant canals that symbolize spring and hope defeat the shanks and collapses.

In 2021, however, carnival is going to be held there and here, so symbolically we are not going to counteract the new laws that limit freedom, we are not going to resort to inventors of these rules with salvadorable truffles, we are not going to set borders in relation to the plague and the effects of the plague. What's more, we're not going to smile collectively about ourselves, we're not going to take the liver together, we're not going to be in public to relieve and revitalize our hearts of reflection.

"We're not going to smile collectively at ourselves, we're not going to take the liver together, we're not going to explode publicly to lighten and revitalize our hearts of reflection."

On the contrary, it seems that we have been caught with a constant tension: in the name of health, we are ruthless working late and late at night, so that the economic machine on our feet does not stop, so that the statistics do not go down or rise. It seems that in the name of collective survival, in the name of correct productivity, everyone has to accept himself and make him explode.

In this environment, you will forget yourself to try to save the forced people from your environment, while the others, by denying the great principles that they proclaimed, will only take into account saving themselves, at all costs – and that can be understood, when the basic needs are not met, each can only take account of his own. Not marking discontinuities or limitations to this collective tendency – symbolically in the first place, for example, carnival, then in a real way – can lead to more blind social confusion and barbarism in the arena, to war.

I think that youth is the most violent. During these days it is heard that boys and girls dress badly by the mask, that psychological problems will worsen and increase in the midst of youth, that university students are concerned about first-hand eating, being clean and holding shelter throughout the day, indefinitely, because adults cannot guarantee the occurrence of this situation.

I am sure that young people have clear challenges for the future, the need to address climate change, with the objective of global social equity, protecting natural and human ecosystems from the place. I have no doubt that today’s youth, in the world that so many previous generations have left, will not want to reproduce past models.

She dreams that, if it is not at the beginning of the spring of this year, the carnivals that will never be seen will be celebrated as soon as possible, and that the young caratojas, overcoming the old circenes, will force us to stop and breathe this march of hell to take care of and enjoy real life. At the entrance of Alduce’s vaguada, the word “Work” has long been dyed on the simple hydroelectric wall; further away, younger people write “Much more work, more orgasm”.

Killings, arms escalation and consequences

On 26 December, during an air strike, the Israeli Army killed five Palestinian journalists trying to reach the city. They killed 130 Palestinian journalists. This news has reminded me of a couple of things, the first, the persecution of true journalists in any part of the world,... [+]

When we are unable to

When you work with older people or people with physical and neural diversity, you realize that the idea of competition in our society limits us a lot as a species. That is, our system puts you in value by doing things specifically, and what it doesn't do is incapable of the... [+]

Smile, chew and silence

Many at Christmas feel more lazy than illusion when we think about meals and family gatherings. But we anticipate that it is not food that makes us feel collectively uncomfortable, but the normativity that defines the traditional family. Moreover, we would dare to say that the... [+]

'Humiliadero' of the RGI
