I'm not sure that anything will come of it, but there seems to be some push back against the various efforts by power elites to clamp down on humanity. There are the Tea Parties - which you may have heard about unless you are deep in the bowels of some echo chamber . . . or only know what the MSM reports - and there is Freedom Summer:
We think that the regulation of everyday life is one of the key political questions of our time. The state’s erosion of informal relationships and spaces – in the street, the playground, or the football field – is one of the most worrying developments of our age. We want to make these questions political, to develop a political critique and challenge to the regulation of everyday life. . .I've noted the predations of the regulation-seeky (as well as the doom seeky), and so have some sympathy for these efforts to push back against the overwheening state. The seeky make the world uglier, devoid of style and grace.Another challenge is to develop more the feel and sensibility of freedom, the spaces of informal collaboration where we can organise together autonomously from the state. . .
The freedom issues of today affect people from across Europe – in part because of regulation generated by Brussels, and in part because Europe’s elites have the same identikit regulatory mentality.
