I should start this blog entry by informing those of you who are uninformed that we as a society are currently living in the Post Occupy Era (P.O.E.). As the foremost scholar of Post Occupy Era, many followers of our blog have emailed me searching for guidance for their semi-cooperative food justice orientated societies/houses/lifestyles.
Fear and anxiety in this POE is a natural emotion for many whose involvement in the #buylocal movements started from some sort of #OCCUPY epiphany. Locally grown produce is after all the left atrium through which the blood of food justice most accessibly flows. However, one's devotion to food justice does not need to cease post #OCCUPY rally. In fact for me, food justice is more than a movement, it is an unwavering reflection of what it is to be a consumer. Against the torrential downpour of genetically modified burger meat and the Monsanto controlled seed lobby, food justice is testament to the enduring power of a community's will. I recommend any semi-sustainable semi cooperative house to build walls against the ever pressing tide of subsidized soy bean derivatives (just an example!) and to humble themselves in the eternal grace a single pinyon pine seed.
-more to come.
Living in the post-ironic era this sort of commentary is pretty much meaningless, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteYes, Anonymous, I agree. The inherent Marx/Nietzsche divide that bifurcates YerbaMateLover's thought, not to mention the thought of the #occupy movement as a whole, is entirely meaningless in the wake of the release of Born To Die.
