24 hours after the US election 400 of my X followers disappeared, and the list just keeps growing. Fellow climate activists reported similar figures. I guess all those bots aren’t needed now that Putin, Trump and Musk, with the help of Kamala and her BAU friends, have achieved their objective to put the climate crisis … Continue reading Truth Wars: The Bot Industry of Climate Denial
The result of the American election exemplifies a pattern witnessed multiple times throughout the history of human civilisation. A hungry and angry electorate will always imagine witches they need to burn and fascist saviours they desperately want to believe. But this need for modern-day witches and false saviours reached a flashpoint in recent years, as … Continue reading When Hunger Turns to Hate, And Global Capital Cashes In On The Spectacle (Yet Again): The Tsakraklides View on the US Election.
As a desperate yet foolish humanity attempts to escape the fires and floods it set in motion, the likelihood is that it will follow the same ancient knee-jerk reactions it always has: looking for solutions in half-baked technology and “destroy-now, pay-later capitalism”, than look deep within itself. Worse even, it will continue to set off … Continue reading The Big Unconsciousness: The Rain in Spain Has Come Here to Remain
Germany, the world’s third largest economy, is spearheading the collapse of global industrial civilisation as its GDP is set to continue its contraction into next year with no end in sight. This comes as no surprise given that Germany is the poster child for the most resource-intensive and old-fashioned industrial production model in operation: a … Continue reading The Collapse Report: Food Is Set to Become the New Automobile in a Collapsing Industrial Civilisation
The silence was horrifying as we walked amongst huge ancient rows of beech trees bathed in autumnal sunlight. Everything was so quiet that it felt almost unreal, like we had been dropped inside a postcard frozen in time and given permission to walk about for a bit before it all came back to life. The … Continue reading The Extinction Report: Journey To a Disappearing Ecosystem
The very first thing which happens to a garden when it becomes abandoned is the sudden death of the most greedy, hybridized and mispositioned exotic ornamental plants. Having been bred to only survive in industrial greenhouses under the control of precise environmental management systems, these specimens wither away within days or weeks. Their culling is … Continue reading Rewilded: Free-Range Humans in the Post-Anthropocene
(Takes deep breath) So, I've just put up a paid subscription option on this blog, and I wanted to let you know what its about: EVERYTHING IS STILL COMPLETELY FREE ON HERE. The paid subscription is an opportunity for those of you who have been reading and liking my work either recently or over the … Continue reading Announcement To My Readers: I’m Going “Professional”
In its futile quest for the ultimate delusion of immortality, humanity always sought to convince itself of the most vivid supremacy fantasy: that humans are not from Earth. The industrial revolution, the look and feel of our modern cities, our cars, our houses, were all shaped to subconsciously convince us that we are not even … Continue reading The Supremacy Sci-Fi of Human Civilisation: From Caves to Spaceships and Back to Caves
By now, it is becoming clear that capitalism is a death trap for both civilisation and the planet hosting it. Yet most of us continue to go through the motions of “work, shop, repeat”, feeling like we have no choice but to pretend that “normal life as we know it” can somehow continue. We struggle … Continue reading Revolt of the Consumatrons: Resisting Economic Growth
The Thing of course is also completely in charge of all power structures and the government. The problem with authority will always be that it cares more about maintaining itself than about serving the well-being of the people it was meant to represent. This is true regardless of who is in power. The role of … Continue reading In The Grip of Necrocapitalism (Part 3)
