Hello, gentrified farm & food media.

Get your shit together. Clean up your house.

There are thousands of BIPOC and working-class activists doing the real work of building viable, accessible, long-term food systems.

And y'all prefer to work with actual crackpots over them.

This isn't an isolated event. Joel Salatin has been completely candid about his white supremacy, and the food movement kept platforming him for years. Here's just one journalist talking about how he did so despite Black women repeatedly asking him not to.

Baker Creek kept platforming very special militant white dude Cliven Bundy until their own customers boycotted them out of it.

In today's food & justice world: Latine meat plant workers are one of, if not the hardest-hit demographic in the pandemic.

Indigenous communities are scrambling to vaccinate older tribe members to keep their languages from going extinct.
More than 1 in 750 Indigenous & Black Americans have already died from COVID.

And your response to this horror is… horse around with a dude who makes movies about how it's fake? And tries to overturn free and fair elections?

*That's* what you've got?
Fomenting disease outbreaks, and downplaying their seriousness, are both well-documented tools for getting rid of society's "undesirables."

Think smallpox blankets. Think Reagan & HIV.

That's the playbook you've chosen to run with.

You're in good company. Southern planters (who fancied themselves environmental stewards!) downplayed pellagra so it sickened & killed poor farm & mill laborers, white & Black alike

for 40 YEARS. It didn't end until WW2, and you've already forgotten.

These are the footsteps you're choosing to follow. Squeaky-clean, greenwashed white supremacy.

Y'all are just the nicest pack of jackals anyone could hope to meet!
As Chris says, you have an easier time imagining the end of the world than the end of white supremacy.

If you think you can fix our society's extractive attitudes towards the earth while keeping that same attitude towards our fellow humans, you have another thing coming.
You're a disgrace to environmental work.

You're a disgrace to the people who put food on your tables.

Get it together. Stop platforming white supremacists & calling it "sustainability."

It's super fucking easy, y'all. So why won't you do it?

More from Society

global health policy in 2020 has centered around NPI's (non-pharmaceutical interventions) like distancing, masks, school closures

these have been sold as a way to stop infection as though this were science.

this was never true and that fact was known and knowable.

let's look.


above is the plot of social restriction and NPI vs total death per million. there is 0 R2. this means that the variables play no role in explaining one another.

we can see this same relationship between NPI and all cause deaths.

this is devastating to the case for NPI.


clearly, correlation is not proof of causality, but a total lack of correlation IS proof that there was no material causality.

barring massive and implausible coincidence, it's essentially impossible to cause something and not correlate to it, especially 51 times.

this would seem to pose some very serious questions for those claiming that lockdowns work, those basing policy upon them, and those claiming this is the side of science.

there is no science here nor any data. this is the febrile imaginings of discredited modelers.

this has been clear and obvious from all over the world since the beginning and had been proven so clearly by may that it's hard to imagine anyone who is actually conversant with the data still believing in these responses.

everyone got the same R
