Everything humans have achieved to this day was precariously built on the great myth of growth: the belief that this civilisation can continue to dig its own hole without ever falling in. Perpetuating the myth of growth meant keeping citizens hostage to the Ponzi scheme of ecological fraud: by forcibly making us stakeholders to this scheme, we had everything … Continue reading Truth In The Time Of Collapse
The belief that a small group of individuals forming a “government” can be trusted to represent the best interests of its people has been one of the most disastrous leaps of faith our civilisation ever took. Some may argue that as our societies grew, we had no choice but to form administrative superstructures that could … Continue reading Governments: Did We Ever Really Need Them?
Any species subscribing to narratives of its supremacy over other species will sooner or later fall prey to identical narratives within its own society. It was unavoidable therefore that the myth of human supremacy would be cloned and reproduced across social strata: racial supremacy, income supremacy, cultural, gender and straight supremacy are mere versions of … Continue reading Capitalism Doesn’t Want You To Survive What’s Coming
For a species that can calculate the speed of electrons, predict ballistic trajectories within accuracy of a centimetre, and estimate the distance to nearby stars, it is astounding that it stubbornly refuses to solve the simplest of math problems: overpopulation. You won’t hear the George Monbiots, Greenpeaces and Extinction Rebellions ever talk about overpopulation simply … Continue reading Why None of These People Will Ever Talk to You About Overpopulation.

For a society that does everything in its power to distract itself from its mortal predicaments, it is an irony that it is host to an economic system which worships death through and through, down to the core operating principles of its foundation. Capitalism is a funeral business enriching itself through extinction, extraction and inequality. … Continue reading YOLO Economics: The Macabre Business Continuity Plans of Necrocapitalism
Every society we create sooner or later faces the challenge of keeping up with an escalating demand for resources. Although there is an immense drive to acquire more, there is never any strategy to conserve or manage what is already there. Degrowth may be omnipresent in nature, but it has never been accomplished in a human … Continue reading History Will Not Repeat Itself
As the tariffs begin to bite, there is so much that we, ordinary consumers, can do to both survive a world of impossibly inflated prices, as well as teach the brands who stole our democracy and social benefits a big lesson. This is not just about Elon. Because behind each of your favourite products there … Continue reading Resisting the Oligarchy means Resisting the World’s Biggest Brands
