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.

Capitalism is a funeral business enriching itself through extinction, extraction and inequality. … Continue reading YOLO Economics: The Macabre Business Continuity Plans of Necrocapitalism

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
