I can’t help but think if we didn’t live in such a dense agrarian techno-industrial globalised world a pandemic like this would never have happened. It only spread quickly because of extreme globalisation. COVID has lead to so much preventable disability and death.
Edit: Maybe I have a different definition of anaracho primitivism to you all but I’m reading through the lense of James C Scott’s Against the Grain, and the problems with the agricultural revolution.
If the goal was to defeat COVID, there were such simpler solutions than avoiding globalization… if everyone masked and vaccinated as soon as they could, COVID would have been severely stunted and wouldn’t have survived 2 years.
have you checked the community you’re in?
I’m talking about hunter gatherer society, not a pragmatic goal to defeat covid.
