“The people“ will not save us | Chris Waldburger

#philosophy #politics #society The talk is based on the following article: Chris Waldburger discuss why ’voting harder’ will not prevent another Covid event and why liberal democracy cannot stave off the bio-security state. What, then, is to be done? Chris attempted to criticize a modern turn to nihilism as a lowly, small-scale scholar for years, both in literature and philosophy. Alongside this, he has had a somewhat bumpy ride as a school teacher, knocking his head against political correctness, egalitarianism, and lately, the abuse of children by authoritarian nanny-types with social distancing, face coverings and vaccine pressures. His writing began to reach a wider audience via Substack as he reported on the horrors of lockdowns and the failures of vaccines. You can find his work at . The Covid event has revealed that it was about more than just public health and the political, economic and societal aspects of the response are of far greater significance than the virus itself. There remains a continued drive toward the transformation of our societies in ways that threaten democracy and our existing ways of life. Open Society Sessions aim to examine the political, societal and economic dimensions of our recent experience and analyse developments in the future. Support our work:
