Why COVID-19 Wasn't Equal: The Shocking Truth About Who Dies and Who Lives (Alerta Global)
Think the pandemic was a great equalizer? Think again. In this video, we dive deep into the groundbreaking book 'Alerta Global' (Global Alert), a collective work by 48 scholars from 28 countries, edited by Breno Bringel and Geoffrey Pleyers. This isn't just about biology—it's about how systemic inequality, racism, and capitalism determined who lived and who died. From the favelas of Rio to the streets of Bergamo, we expose the 'necropolitics' that turned poverty into a death sentence. Discover why the virus acted like the top 1%, how 'social distancing' became a privilege, and why the real crisis isn't the pandemic but the 'normal' we're told to return to. This is a must-watch for anyone questioning the systems we take for granted.
