For about 10 days the news and newspapers afflicted us with the stories
of the 5 explorers of the Titanic wreck, who perished aboard asubmarine, who fell victim to decompression due to an improvidentconstruction of the hull which was supposed to make the enterprisepossible. at the modest sum of 250,000 dollars per person. In the samedays the most complete silence fell on the story of the sinking of afishing boat carrying more than 750 people, crammed inhumanely on thevessel, wrecked off the Greek coast with more than 600 dead who ended upin the abyss, in the guilty disinterest of the Greek coast guard ,reluctant to rescue the adrift vessel. ---- Thus we had the confirmationthat the death of 5 rich people, boating and diving enthusiasts, loversof historical wrecks is much more important than 600 people, with thedifference that while the former chose to embark on an improvident theothers were forced to embark by hunger, by need, by the need to flee thewar, using a nut shell to escape an infamous and unacceptable life. Butanyhow: in this shitty society deaths weigh differently and not inrelation to the body weight of those who die or the number, but to howswollen their wallet is.What happened draws attention to some subjects who are the actors ofthis drama. Our thoughts go to the six and a half million dollars spentby the United States Coast Guard to search for a known wreck and in thecertainty that there was nothing to be done to try to recover the bodiesof the victims, given the depth of the sea and the characteristics ofthe shipwreck: but they were 5 rich, from rich and influential familiesand the entrepreneur pilot of the submarine.Another thought, far more concerned, involved, justified and motivated,goes instead to those 600 unknown dead who, like many others like them,are victims of unfortunate crossings, in improbable boats, and arefeeding one of the most popular cemeteries in the world in theMediterranean . The comparison between the reactions aroused between thetwo events makes us reflect on the profound inequalities thatcharacterize the world in which we live, the information we receive.We turn to indifferent men and women, who witness this massacre, andthink that the 600 dead have brought it about and that they would havedone better not to leave, who are victims of their desperation andincapacity, hoping to shake their consciences, with little hope andlittle trust, but with the certainty of being able, perhaps, to makethem think, reminding them of a particular consequence of what is happening.Well dear ladies and gentlemen, when this summer you will go to thepleasant beaches of the Mediterranean to wet your backs to refreshyourself from the summer heat and then you will sit down in a restaurantby the sea to taste fish or even more the catch of the day , variouslytreated by excellent restaurants and expert cooks, remember the factthat the fish you eat feed on their food chain of the corpses that youdo not want to see, looking away, indifferent, dead in the sea in whichyou wallow.Our wish is that your guts will touch you at the mere thought of whatyou are swallowing and that you will feel who you are, anthropophagous,cannibals, who feed on corpses, indifferent to the fate of theirfellows, and who feast on misfortunes and many deaths of others.We hope that at least this - the protection of your stomach, of yourfilthy guts - will push you to take on the burden of deaths, the many,too many deaths that feed the innocent fish of the Mediterranean, whohave become scavengers of the sea, devourers of corpses, in spite ofthemselves, and you experience horror and who knows that thinking aboutthis your conscience, if you still have one, will react to this horrorand work to put an end to it in every way.https://www-ucadi-org.translate.goog/2023/07/10/cosa-ce-di-nuovo-ce-morte-e-morte/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
