It is That Which It Is

After fifty years of cultural observation and activism, I’m convinced that bioregionalism is the only path forward out of the miasma of capitalism, fascism and general human greed and profligacy. Choose any of the polycrises now inflicting humanity, system change is necessary and bioregional organization are critical changes necessary to allow the survival of civilization, if that’s what it is.

@Loukas @micahflee Given the #polycrises, makes sense

@mcnees Where does that stack-rank in the #polycrises

The generation which was born into a traumatized, fearful, and fragile post 9/11 world, then financial crisis, and digitized life experience with the further cracking of institutions and a revealing pandemic is…depressed?

Tell me more.

This attempt at explaining why the Tories need women - especially young, affluent women - voters is clearly right. The conclusions, however, are wrong. ‘Taylor Swift Tories’ barely exist, and there’s nothing the party can offer them. There is no form of Conservatism that makes sense in an age of #polycrises crying out for change. #ToryElectoralProspects
