Interesting insight into the link between climate denialism and masculinity:
"For climate sceptics, it was not the environment that was threatened; it was a certain kind of modern industrial society built and dominated by their form of masculinity".

The Brazilian Landless Workers Movement just seized a ~500 acre farm owned by a real estate developer. 200 families are occupying the land & converting it to agroecological production
Their slogan is “Occupy to feed Brazil.” This is the way forward for humanity

Production-orientation is, largely, a thin veneer over the non-negotiable "necessity" of delivering capital returns.
Capital presumes a form of divine right over all human affairs: we need a sort of Magna Carta or Glorious Rebellion to break this claim.

GDP per person, 1860–2007 teara.govt.nz/en/graph/24365… GDP per capita rose 8 times over in 147 years. So are we 8 times better off than in 1860?

“Colonisation is a process of dispossession and control rather than a historical artefact, and now it takes on new forms. These forms may be less obviously violent, but they still deny Indigenous peoples the right to be fully free in their own lands.”

Value food as a life enabler, a gift from Nature to enable humans to thrive, pillar of cultures, a sacred good, medicine, human right, public good, commons. Multiple dimensions that cannot be superseded by its commodity dimension. Revaluing and enacting food differently is a MUST

I feel deeply uncomfortable with Pākehā environmentalists appropriating kaitiakitanga.
I realise there are a diversity of views on this. This paper is a good starting point.

‘the war is the war for the human imagination
and no one can fight it but you/ & no one can fight it for you
The imagination is not only holy, it is precise
it is not only fierce, it is practical
men die everyday for the lack of it,
it is vast & elegant’

Food is not just the material stuff, what the commodification narrative tends to emphasize: food is history, memories, sense of belongness, meaningfulness, family, identity, community. Here a personal account of food memories from a distant country that I love

There are more & more billboards on our streets, & fewer differences between parties. I'd turn this Gauguin painting into a billboard. The painting's title is more radical than anything NZ politicians offer. It is called 'Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going?'

The pandemic is not "unprecedented". What is unprecedented is: FRAGILITY + PANDEMIC
Our economic system has never been more fragile, more stretched, more vulnerable to small disruptions.

It seems weird to me that when Māori own 50% of fishing quota in New Zealand that doesn't even get a mention in this story, let alone actually asking Māori what they think about this plan. newshub.co.nz/home/money/202…
