Wendell Berry's Boutique

Organic zero-waste stream permaculturally designed and cooperatively owned farms are no more or less Democratic-Boutique ecopolitics Than AgriBusiness extractive anti-ecological rather than restorative-ecosystemic therapy, competitively owned and Business as Usual capitalist-colonizing designed multinational conglomerates of anthro-hubris greed, are no more or less Totalitarian Universal Supremacist ecopolitics. I heard a young woman farmer raising grass-fed cattle on her small organic farm designed to restore health to Southern RedState topsoil, as well as to her kids' kids, future farmers of PostMillennial America. She believed the small scale of her natural-spiritual restorative farming economy placed her at a disadvantage to receive government operational loans as compared to multinational agribusiness conglomerates using chemicals and pesticides to kill topsoil and extract short-term nutritional values at long-term disinvested cost to future healthy generations and their dreams to health-wealth thrive. A government farm subsidy expert responded: If we don't have enough capital to loan to everyone, we are forced to give priority funding to larger scale producers with capacity to provide more than sufficient this-year nutrients for our large domestic and foreign flooding markets. She did not mention costs of growing obesity and simultaneous malnutrition, dual-poignant trends. She did add, The agricultural sector is complex, composed of large agribusinesses and small boutique operations, and all are welcome by UncleDonald to apply, after first saluting the TrumpTowers, But she left unchallenged the Farmer's original matriotic complaint of an uneven ecopolitical playing field that actually favors large patriarchal corporate greed operations invested in toxic extractive farming-as-raping sociopathic practices. As I was listening to the farm subsidy expert on competitive economics make her case for giving separate but only marginally unequal value to these diverse nutritional scales, small and more robustly large, with distinct investment niches competitively available for public dollar support of a presumably synergetic-democratic agricultural department, without conceding undue favor to AgriBusiness multinationals. Separatists, yes; Supremacists for BusinessAsUsual, no. I was starkly reminded of an OldSchool KKK spokesman who last year said the WhiteBrother Klans are racial separatists but not WhiteMale Supremacists. It does feel like a pathological distinction without a healthy, non-WhiteWashed, difference for present or future lives of and for thriving nutritional diversity, deep sacred-secular ecological synergy. When will pre-millennial threats ever learn how to hear post-millennial therapies as other than Boutiquely Synergetic? I know... I know!... When we have to grow together rather than continue failing apart.
