Going up the Country : Why I left urban liberal hysteria behind - and in the process thwarted the plans of the World Economic Forum

The city depressed me. Precisely for its pastel-coloured shop windows and its “streets upon streets upon streets” (Morrissey), the park picnics and friend gatherings, public transport and cafés, the whole Goddamn meekness and safety-obsessed philistinism that stood in weird contrast to street lamps bearing stickers saying “System change not Climate change” or “Kill all TERFS”[1]. I knew at one point that in order to survive the cotton candy vulnerability of these über-lib monsters, I had to get away.

But country living, as we are told, is the new intifada.
