Show Notes

“Often, in an argument, what people think they are arguing about is not the real subject of disagreement, which is deeper and often unspoken, if it is even understood. So it is here. The divisions that have opened up in society about the covid vaccines are not really about the covid vaccines at all: they are about what vaccination symbolizes in this moment. What it means to be 'vaxxed' or 'unvaxxed', safe or dangerous, clean or dirty, sensible or irresponsible, compliant or independent: these are questions about what it means to be a good member of society, and what society even is, and they are detonating like depth charges beneath the surface of the culture.” - Paul Kingsnorth We take a small detour to look at the state of the world and what is unfolding before us. How it applies to our future and the systems of control being constructed around us with so little resistance or open discussion. Paul Kingsnorth brings us an excellent article trying to make sense out of all of this. What is wrong, and what can we do about it?
