Toward Ecosophy

Wow, that really does say a lot. There has been so much noise made about getting vaxxed to "protect others," which I'm sure was a sincere motive for some, but there's just as much self-protection, just as much policing the borders of the compliant in-group, looking for heretics to burn. There's this undisguised lust to punish the disobedient, and it's based again on propping up one's self-image rooted in group identity more than it's about serving the greater good. They're telling themselves otherwise, I'm sure. But there is zero self-examination taking place here, no moment of reflection, no sense of "what if I'm wrong?" It reminds me so much of my experiences growing up in a fundamentalist church. The people who think they're so above "religious superstition" are completely in its grip.
