Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 65

[ecosophia]

As we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselesness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

Dear, dear Erika Lopez,
Your presence here is so vital to the function of this place. Thank you for your question which has kept me up most of the night. The answer is most likely not a description of technique but of function, of principles and vital essence. There are two books that come to mind, one by Dmitry Orlov, Communities that Abide and Retrotopia by one JM Greer, you may have heard of him on the fringes of the historical philosophy scene.
D Orlov does a pretty good job of comparing communities that survive and thrive as independent societies surrounded and encapsulated within a larger culture, which if not openly hostile to said community are most blessedly dismissive of it's idiosyncratic expression of the human experience.
JMG does an outstanding job of describing one possible, relatively peaceful, solution to the question of how to operate in the world as an independent, accountable, and self sufficient society surrounded by a voracious and predatory parasite of the human soul.
Common to both, as different as they may be in detail, is they describe the principles by which these societies operate and it's here where we can find the clues to solving the question of how to be independent in an oppressive environment. Historically the principles of voluntary association, liberty (as opposed to freedom to my way of thinking, with its inherent requirement of responsibility which freedom lacks), humility, mutual respect, creativity, and tradition are among several other principles laid in the foundation of a vibrant, independent society that nourishes the human spirit. And so it is that I contend that there isn't any single definition or description of a successful alternative to the borg culture. The response in San Franscico will differ from that of Boston or Evansville. The principles, the charter and constitution of a parallel society are as close as we can come to defining our path. We would never have gotten to this state methinks if we had remained loyal to our principles and not surrendered to the conveniences and vapid trinkets laid as bait to entrap our human spirit.
Much love.
Gawain
