The Rise Of Pharma Fascism And The Ruination Of The Commons

No Pharaoh, no king, no feudal lord, and certainly no political party has ever before claimed that they own the air and that the mere act of breathing by the citizenry was an assault that must be managed by a police state. Yet that is the central claim of Pan, Fauci, and the public health bureaucracy and the idea that drives vaccine mandates, masks, lockdowns, social distancing, and the rest of the modern Fascist Pharma State.

The commons is also essential to the left imagination because they don't believe in private property, so on some level they think that the entire world is or could be the commons.

Garrett Hardin popularized the idea of the commons with his 1968 article in Science titled, "The Tragedy of the Commons" about managing the individual incentives to overexploit shared resources.

Over the last several years, the bougie left, without even a hint of self-awareness or irony, enclosed the global commons - seized it is a better term - in the name of public health, based on false assumptions about how viruses work.

In an earlier era, when public health focused on large public works projects, health improved.

We could find common ground on regulating those sources but Pharma controls the political process and so the entire focus of public health is on vaccines.

In 2020 the NY Department of Public Health created a regulation titled "Isolation and Quarantine Procedures" that enabled the state to remove anyone from their home for any reason and detain them indefinitely without due process of law under the guise of public health.
