Yes, Paris, Texas , Wim Wenders comes to mind.
The famous world travel guides put Slovenia in best 5 or 10 destinations in the world. Does it mean it is a better place, or, that there are too many shitholes out there?A famous dilemma of the glass half full or half empty with the unknown drink in it.
When, as a tourist, you bring money into a place, you get a big smile. Do Slovenians smile better, or do they give smiles even for free, like the extra bonus and so, the place shines? Giving smiles for free is odd in this neoliberal era.
If we look at the perfect covid storm they cooked there, hmm, you are free to smile.
In fact, the Place is the quintessence of the mainstream covid politics practiced across the globe.
But, Slovenians think, they are like Paris. In Texas.
So, if they have 10 people dead of covid each day, they think, ok, not so much.Or almost 3000 infected each day in last days.They always forget they are only 2 millions and that this number should be multiplied by 30, 40 times to be compared with Italy or UK or Germany or France. They are champions in smiling. They have the worst numbers, but, ok, it is only 10 people dead a day, what is the deal, look at Brasil.
What is a Political Virologist, or a political epidemiologist? Essentially it is a person who is not there to eliminate the Covid. He has a cunning plan, how to live with it, gladly smiling when forgetting that infection is always exponential. He is not even thinking of eliminating the infection.
He is instead thinking how to “save” the economy, his hidden “hobby”. A political epidemiologist, as usual, has a hidden agenda or a hidden variable. He is a self taught or hetero directed charlatan economist taking orders from some hidden variable charlatan economist, which in turn is a hetero directed political economist paid by the Oligarchy or corporations. His hidden agenda or a not declared variable is not epidemiology, it is being the business lackey following orders..
You can call it science.
The fun of it is, that all, the current government, the so called opposition, and the no vaxxers have the same goal. Freedom. Freedom with the green pas or without it, the same. So, it turned out that only 50% of the population is vaccinated, the others are against and they are all freedom fighters for the same mainstream, the business as usual. The hospitals are a buffer zone for the business as usual, keeping patients out of sight, and the Covid Virus smiles..
And in this all, no distance, no tracing, lying about who sees who when being infected or before , shitty chirurgical masks wearing with noses out, lousy hygiene for sure. No isolation or real quarantine protocols….
With this deadly mix, counting in it that the vaccinated transmit the virus and get sick too, with the children as spreaders in the family, with the business as usual, the only thing certain is: they are amoral.
They smile but you may die and nobody cares. Slovenia, one of the top destinations of sympathy and hospitality, hey.
But the hospitals, enlarged for covid use in the last year, are not enlarged enough to hide this business. The staff, doctors, nurses are lacking and you can imagine the cure you receive, since, it is impossible to have it proper..
On the other hand, the possibly ordinary deadly illnesses are not cured,
Usual Life threatening sickness is put on a waiting list, it is all overstretched, the waiting list for hospital admissions are going into years of waiting, the joke. Smile. Only a few bright spots still function…
The charlatans of all kinds have cooked the perfect storm. ALL of them following the Charlatan Piper of charlatan economy.The person they never met but know all about him. Freedom fighters.
The risk taking is unbearable, the number of positive tests has reached 47% on 1st November, the day of the dead.. Luckily the rapid tests are not included in this statistics as in the rest of Europe, to water down the numbers… next week maybe they will be.
The mindset of this perfect storm is:
ZNAJDI SE
Mistrust , in many nations and populations and most segments of this societies, is deeply rooted, for centuries. People in this nations never trusted the rulers for excellent reasons. The ruling classes lied, oppressed or betrayed the people there, for centuries, again and again.They do not believe them Which means, they believe anyone who suits them.
In today situation this innate mistrust is even more expanded with all kinds of beliefs circling on the social media. People made a culture from this mistrust. The culture of each person for himself. Help yourself, by any means. In fact, we can not call this places a “civilization” in a positive sense , it is the rule of the more or less pronounced organized crime.The plundering of the Masters and the flight of the people from this outskirts of EU or any other system like this, is getting even more widespread.
This motto”znajdi se” is universal in all Balcans, Russia included, East Europe and all south Mediterranean.
It looks that you can not translate this mindset in english. It means that you are on your own and that you always have to manage by any means by yourself any situation in life. All is up to yo and you are on your own.Take care and manage by yourself is how all east Europe and south globe populations think for centuries. They learned that any system they lived in was imposed on them and this Kings,Overlords, masters, Dictators or Communist rulers ruled them only for their own personal gain. So, they had to manage on their own, any means, legal or not, included.Solidarity and cooperation were and are out of the mass mindset, they apply only in the family or to the very next to kin.
As all social systems are felt as the imposition, the only way is to use them for private gain. Since most of the progress in technology or in any other field was not autochtonous, i.e. locally invented, it is felt as some external imposition, which, at the best, one has to copy. They were serfs and still feel being such. Serfs of invaders, passing Empires, Local mafias,….
This attitude is not confined to low classes but it applies to all strata of society. This model mindset leads to corruption, mafia style rule, bribery and avoiding the rule of law.
The ruling classes , the govt, take care of themselves and so, the others do the same within the limits thy have on hand. Every man for himself. No solidarity or cooperation. Forget the religion as some factor of solidarity or cooperation, it is more “do not stick out and keep to the tradition” whatever that means. That is why any phenomena of something different, like LGBT or any “strange stranger” practice is anathema to the mindset which was built for centuries of bollocks.
This attitude fitted perfectly the neoliberal transition this societies live now, of new era of do it yourself and self made men, but in a sinister twist. It is more “grab what you can, but do not stick out”. This is the freedom fight of all of them, they want their business as usual.
The essentially egalitarian mindset of the masses , built for centuries since all rulers were imposed on them, in the sense we are all in it together- the same shit- is coupled with manage by yourself and do not stick your neck out of the general mindset. It is a sort of hide and seek situation, absolutely perverted. Grab and hide. Only for some people showing the looted gain it is consented to do so. They are the real bosses and the rest of the masses envy their ability to loot and show the riches as was always consented and tolerated for the Rulers to do, the ones which were imposed on them. They hope they will b the next.
And Covid 19 exposed it , to the bone. But only nations sunk in this mental mud can not see it.
OK, this is the time to change. It is easy. WD has put some ideas, they work.
Similar applies to the “civilized west”” and this is what Witchdoct or calls a boundary pilot trash wave each civilization is riding on.
The elimination of Covid was and is never a goal in the EU.In fact, more seniors die, less pensions to pay. Keep the machine going, value chains breaking, no buffer. Make some inflation with the fossil energy price push, make current recovery and GDP growth a dirty fossil driven one,and so sell low wages from the backdoor by the inflation austerity, which is degrading your income, no need for the EU Troika, this is god send.
Value of life,not planned in the chain of events.The thing is, they are all in it. Like a giant trash wave. All are freedom fighters.
The funny thing, all this is called civilization. Not just any, but the winning one. It is eating us alive. It is eating the planet. It looks like a sophisticated codified cannibalism, but, taking the veil off, it is plain cannibalism.
Witchdoctor has written months ago, that the vaccine is becoming useless. His own, too. In this deadly mix of infections of the Covid promiscuity, for certain. The promiscuity infection dynamics of vaccinated, not vaccinated, ill or not, vanishing vaccine effect, third vaccine boosters, fourth , fifth….
Texas, Slovenia
In this parts of the world,when you want to describe a situation of mess, chaos, power, fight,raid, shooting at noon , duels or any type of overpowering, winners, one says, real Texas.
Paris, Texas
PS: Chi ha fatto qualcuno a sua immagine e somiglianza,quando si sta considerando tutta la terribile storia umana fino alla sua prossima autoestinzione, e chi era un coglione?
Se WItchdoctor ha rari momenti di lucidità, e” un coglione.
Who has made someone in his image and likeness, when considering all terrible human history until its next self-extinction, who was a jerk?
If WItchdoctr has rare moments of lucidity, he is a jerk.
Kdo je naredil nekoga po svoji podobi in podobnosti, glede na vso strašno človeško zgodovino do naslednjega samoizumrtja, Kdo je en kreten?
Če ima Witchdoctor redke trenutke lucidnosti, je kreten.
