The
Suzano massacre escapes the pattern of madmen acting individually and killing
themselves or being killed in the end of a terrorist operation. It fades from
the standard because it was a premeditated act collectively. Only two have
entered school, but this amounts to a collective. It was a political attack
centered on exhibitionism of the current sameness in the networks, mainstream
media and discourses of hatred.
The
two young men killed the same, mostly young people. They attacked an institution that already is under attack by
the managers of the coup d'etat that took to the Planalto a defender of
militias, groups of extermination and speeches of hatred, arms and selective prosecution.
The cuts of Guedes and the banks fall on education, health, work, old and poor.
Pop
terrorists, in the not-popular sense, but with iconography of meme, dolls, caricatures
of celebrities, cartoons, heroes of action films, anarchism, etc, are replicas
of media power today in a poorly disguised conjunction between mainstream media
and languages sophisticated attacks from the Analytica Cambridge lineup of
Steve Bannon and Roger Stone for Brexit, Trump, Bolsonaro and more. The two
boys -17 and 25 years old - reproduced
the violence of the new times reducing quality and investments in education,
youth, health, they were attacking their equals, young people in that transit
between childhood and adult life.
Even
if they were said to be anarchists, atheists, communists or capitalists, the
two sought the targets more like themselves. They have bloodyly portrayed the
real effects that the policies of the regime imposed by the rigged election are
producing in a slow but steady way: the aggravation of all that is horror:
hunger, poverty and hopelessness.
In
this sense, the two young terrorists only illustrate, without knowing what they
were doing, the economic and cultural policies of the anti-national coup.
The
first American inhabitants, the natives, had spears, bows, arrows, tacapes,
rims and blowpipes. They knew no gunpowder or beasts, a primordial weapon in
the evolution of the archery. The two pop terrorists did not bring or use any
utensils that referred to the original people on our floor. The two young minds
only exalted what was imposed upon them: hatred of themselves. There were not
two suicides in the Raul Brasil School episode. Raul refers to the playful bohemian
jargon of vomiting. Brazil is the ember, the wood of the stick that gives good
red dye. The two vomited blood. Each pierced body was one more suicide. A
dozen, a little more, a little less, were successive suicides by proxy. The two
young terrorists acted as early militiamen. They cleaned. They swept down the
floor, or into the mysterious land of homesickness, young students who most
likely saw the same movies, the same news programs, played the same games,
received the same messages via WhatsApp, Feicis and Instagrams.
Immediately
after the attack on Suzano was reported, Facebook entered a kind of pane
worldwide. The reason for so much slowness and so many errors in posts and
accesses has not yet been clarified. But it is possible to speculate that the
tool that so much political evil has been producing in various societies has
been affected by its own mechanisms of algorithmic self-defense. We all know
that issues such as suicide have low visibility, the Face reduces or almost
nullifies the post with the theme of martyrdom. Since there were two suicides,
and since there was the natural commotion of Internet users wanting to find out
about the affair in the school, the search for Suzano and the tool to conceal
the subject may have produced this pane.
But
beyond the phenomenon of two young memes with a 38 revolver, cheap loaders, a medieval beast,
skull masks and other items of American pop iconography, the terrorist attack
occurred as a mirror image of our ignorance, our stupidity, our epidemic of
hatred and misinformation. Had they escaped suicide and possible execution by
the police, the two young terrorists could possibly be declared unmanageable,
crazy ones.
In
Norway, some five years ago, a young supremacist, armed with a rifle and a
mega-bomb produced from phosphates and other agricultural inputs, was arrested
and sentenced to a mere 20 years imprisonment, something apparently
insignificant, since he almost killed and wounded two hundred people. Take a
good life in prison. He believes that he acted correctly in the name of his
conscience.
Likewise,
these two terrorists in SP probably acted thinking they were doing the right
thing, the good thing for them. Every young man they killed was a salvation in
their brains shattered by their elders teaching them to hate.
Relatives
and friends of the two young terrorists will exclaim in amazement. Why, he was
kind of weird, kind of extravagant, but we never imagined he could do something
so ugly.
The
ugly is beautiful today in the world. Did the two young men come into the
school if they found them, taokey? The two unconsciously gave the answer that
the coup makers are asking the Brazilians. Kill yourselves. But do not keep us
from continuing to destroy social democracy, or labor, or wellfare state,
nothing to dream about China and the nine hundred million Chinese attended by
Chinese welfare, nothing to dream about Beijing with a local health SUS serving
one billion three hundred millions of Chinese.
Here
is Brazil. Who the fuck autocratic man is Jair, taokey?
