The Politics of Environmental Fundamentalism
As the restrictions and obligations of biosecurity have mostly but not entirely been lifted since March 2022 — while still being suspended over our necks like the axe of the fasces — their replacement by their equally fundamentalist environmental equivalents has shown the arbitrariness of the crises on which the Global Biosecurity State is being … Continue reading The Politics of Environmental Fundamentalism

‘There is a great temptation to explain away the intrinsically incredible by means of liberal rationalisations. In each one of us there lurks such a liberal, wheedling us with the voice of common sense. The road to totalitarian domination leads us through many intermediate stages for which we can find numerous analogies and precedents. The … Continue reading 9.
