Watching peoples reaction to Alfies case kept me thinking about Existentialism.
Watching
peoples reaction to Alfies case kept me thinking about Existentialism.
People are basing what they perceive as fact and truth based solely on
their own experience, you have to understand that people have different
experiences. I keep seeing the same argument "my child went to Alder Hey
hospital and they where amazing" then you have "my child went to Alder
Hey Hospital and they killed him". You
have to understand that people will experience different things, it does
not mean one is right and one is wrong. what determines what is right
and what is wrong is not based on experiences its based on facts. Yes
Alder Hey hospital are doing amazing things and saving children lives
but they are also doing evil cruel things such as killing Alfie and
stealing babies organs. They killed Alfie, this is a fact and it does
not matter what you experience was or is to quote the great Malcolm X
“You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.”
If you replace patriotism with identity politics, ID Politics or identitarianism however you want to name this recent phenomenon thanks to Facebook this also is becoming very obvious also in how people react to Alfies case. People are identifying themselfs as the NHS or as a Doctor or as a Nurse and they will not critique the actions of the NHS, Doctors and Nurses because they identify themselves as a NHS, as Doctor as Nurse and they feel its an attack on them personally. When the fact is we are attacking specific NHS staff, Doctors and Nurses, we are not attacking ALL and people who identify themselfs as a Doctors or Nurses should only identify themselfs as a human being and not be afraid to speak out against corruption and wrong doing in the NHS.
This identitarianism has also come to light because the family of Alfie are Catholics and some people do not like Catholics, i practice Islam i can call myself a Muslim but i do not identify myself as a Muslim i am human being who is practicing Islam. A lot of so called "Left Wing" activists failed to support this family because they identify themselves as "left wing" however they define it and they felt as if they could not support Alfies family because their family was Catholic and it did not fit into their "left wing" facebook narcissistic bubble. I do not care what religion you practice, this was clearly an injustice and based on that fact, the fact that this was an injustice i did what i could to support the family. This is how you get "right wing" dickheads like Tommy Robinson or the EDL (which is all state controlled opposition anyway) taking advantage of the gap of support like they disgustedly took advantage of children being raped in Rochdale. something for the "left" to think about.
identitarianism is also a problem here because its a restriction a limiter on knowledge if you like. You have to understand Alfies case is not about Alfie, its about the whole system in this country its about the Government, juridical system, Police, Councils, intelligent agencies, NHS, Social Services. Do not have a narrow vision or blinkers on, try and look at the bigger picture because Alfie can not get justice until the whole system is fixed because it was the whole system that killed him, Alder hey pulled the trigger but don't ignore the gun or the person holding the gun.
Just something to think about, as you probably guessed i like psychology.
