Even before COVID-19 arri\u00adved in the United States, it was appa\u00adrent that in deploying the virus as a pro\u00adpa\u00adgan\u00addis\u00adtic par\u00adry against China, conser\u00adva\u00adtives and libe\u00adrals alike would make mat\u00adters worse by impo\u00adsing an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty cost. By crow\u00adding the social space with saber-rat\u00adtling, the United States would fail to take notes about the out\u00adbreak and China\u2019s res\u00adponses pro and con\u2014so as to make ade\u00adquate and inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal\u00adly tea\u00admed preparations.<\/p>\n
Certainly it\u2019s a bipar\u00adti\u00adsan mis\u00adcal\u00adcu\u00adla\u00adtion borne more out of struc\u00adtu\u00adral decay than mere hubris or bad data, but the pro\u00adblem extends across the sweep of res\u00adpec\u00adtable poli\u00adtics. These broa\u00adder cultu\u00adral patho\u00adlo\u00adgies, ent\u00adwi\u00adned into the lite\u00adral patho\u00adlo\u00adgies of the pan\u00adde\u00admic, are on full digi\u00adtal pea\u00adcock dis\u00adplay beyond Chang and his ilk. The near enti\u00adre\u00adty of the chat\u00adter sphere mani\u00adfests a pri\u00admal inca\u00adpa\u00adci\u00adty to adapt a holis\u00adtic social and eco\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal pers\u00adpec\u00adtive. Little subtle, flexible, and capa\u00adcious thought\u2014capable of encap\u00adsu\u00adla\u00adting both the tech\u00adni\u00adcal-poli\u00adcy-public health sphere of pre\u00adven\u00adtion and pro\u00adphy\u00adlaxis and the social-eco\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal-civi\u00adli\u00adza\u00adtio\u00adnal domain of respon\u00adding to the pro\u00adblem from the bot\u00adtom up\u2014is on offer. No one is caught dead taking the lead of the world\u2019s most affec\u00adted dis\u00adpos\u00adses\u00adsed, who might know some\u00adthing about such thinking.<\/p>\n
One ins\u00adtead traces a long arc of incom\u00adpe\u00adtence, reduc\u00adtio\u00adnism, social triage, capi\u00adta\u00adlist Mad Hatter logic, tech\u00adni\u00adcist tom\u00adfoo\u00adle\u00adry, and rank oppor\u00adtu\u00adnism. From the pri\u00adva\u00adti\u00adzed right to the public left, influen\u00adcers poli\u00adti\u00adcal and aca\u00adde\u00admic have been stu\u00addious\u00adly inca\u00adpable of respon\u00adding to the cri\u00adsis. Against all notions of poli\u00adti\u00adcal eco\u00adlo\u00adgy, the pan\u00adde\u00admic is a \u201cChinese virus\u201d on the right wing or an \u201cact of God\u201d on the left, remo\u00adving off the board any notion of refoun\u00adding our agra\u00adrian prac\u00adtices or the other modes of social repro\u00adduc\u00adtion that toge\u00adther drove the emer\u00adgence of COVID-19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
