The Corona-crisis has many faces, some of them are questionable. For example, a poster of the climate activists of the Extinction of the Rebellion, to read on the stand, we the people were “the disease” and the Coronavirus “the cure”. Even if the poster is a fake, as some claim, fit the message to many of the world eater groups of the story.
esoteric, nature, romantic, sects: their Commonality is always that they want to heal the world by cleaning the humanity. Clean of false Beliefs and living habits.
