The ‘war on the virus’ seems just as futile or misguided as all the other wars on nature, substances, and concepts. So much for trying to have nuanced discussions about how viruses are an essential and largely symbiotic mechanism for the exchange of genetic material and mediation of evolution!<br /><br />While the closure and loss of cafés, gyms and hairdressers might not be a great loss, except to those directly affected, many of us have noticed that the official response to the pandemic tends to follow a pattern of support and strengthening of dominant corporations while leading to the weakening and likely collapse of small business and community self-organised activities.”<br /><br />David Holmgren: “Pandemic Brooding: Brown Tech in New Clothing”<br /><br /><a href=\"https://holmgren.com.au/writing/pandemic-brooding-brown-tech-in-new-clothing/\" target=\"_blank\">https://holmgren.com.au/writing/pandemic-brooding-brown-tech-in-new-clothing/</a>",

"content": "“For many permies, the pandemic seems to be another example of hyped up threat like the ‘war on weeds’, ‘war on drugs’, ‘war on terror’ used to manipulate the population to comply with some version of disaster capitalist solutions. Most sceptics acknowledge the virus as real, but not as dangerous as the cure in lockdowns and other draconian measures. The ‘war on the virus’ seems just as futile or misguided as all the other wars on nature, substances, and concepts. So much for trying to have nuanced discussions about how viruses are an essential and largely symbiotic mechanism for the exchange of genetic material and mediation of evolution!\n\nWhile the closure and loss of cafés, gyms and hairdressers might not be a great loss, except to those directly affected, many of us have noticed that the official response to the pandemic tends to follow a pattern of support and strengthening of dominant corporations while leading to the weakening and likely collapse of small business and community self-organised activities.”\n\nDavid Holmgren: “Pandemic Brooding: Brown Tech in New Clothing”\n\nhttps://holmgren.com.au/writing/pandemic-brooding-brown-tech-in-new-clothing/",
