Pandemic Position

There are two aspects to my pandemic position:

We live in a consumer society. What is happening is no different to what has happened for decades. This is not a conspiracy theory. It is fact. Our lives are directed by the wealthy and the powerful. They exert their influence through the media – previously mass media but now increasingly social media as well.  Through pandemic propaganda they have furthered two agendas. Billions of dollars have been made from selling masks and vaccines, which they have convinced the population are now necessary for a safe life. Cashless transactions have begun to dominate the domestic economy. They are reshaping society to facilitate their own agendas.

Freedom

I accept there is no such thing as total freedom in society or in life.

I once espoused freedom – the drop out hippy type – but even a half hearted attempt at living the good life convinced me that life is easier within rather than outside society. It is hard work cultivating a veggie patch, let alone a self sufficient farm.

In the early seventies, a twenty something Hippy girl called Gypsy roamed the Daintree rainforest naked, living on wild fruit and herbs. I never met her but I thought she epitomised freedom – until the day I heard she had hung herself from a tree. Whatever despair led her to take her own life, freedom certainly wasn’t an antidote.
