The Collapse Report: Food Is Set to Become the New Automobile in a Collapsing Industrial Civilisation

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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 Extinction Report: Journey To a Disappearing Ecosystem

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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

Rewilded: Free-Range Humans in the Post-Anthropocene

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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

The Supremacy Sci-Fi of Human Civilisation: From Caves to Spaceships and Back to Caves

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

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

Resisting the Curse of Global Capital: Transformation Through Collapse

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

It was unavoidable from our very beginnings that a species with this much in-built psychosis would only be able to give rise to a self-destructive civilisation.  The full-time job of government, corporates and the media is now to simply keep everyone convinced that this self-annihilating civilisation is somehow supposed to make sense.   Well, it … Continue reading Resisting the Curse of Global Capital: Transformation Through Collapse

After Helene: How To Make the Climate Crisis Totally Disappear

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Years ago, when I warned that one day the climate crisis will be forgotten, many didn’t believe me.  Trawling through social media posts in the aftermath of Helene, I came across the pain, the suffering, anger and desperation described in the personal accounts of witnesses who lost everything: their house, their loved ones, sometimes an … Continue reading After Helene: How To Make the Climate Crisis Totally Disappear

Collective Incrimination: How Global Capital Gets Away With Everything

Posted on by George Tsakraklides

Every criminal can walk out of prison free if they manage to incriminate the prosecution.  Global capital is a gangster who gets away with murder every single time, by implicating us into its crimes. As consumatrons we are wholly dependent on the criminal necrosystem of the human Ponzi economy.  We are accomplices who are bribed … Continue reading Collective Incrimination: How Global Capital Gets Away With Everything
