Conflict, genocide and ecocide have always relied on supremacist rhetoric. The reason we have failed to root-out prejudice, speciesism and discrimination is because supremacy, in all its incarnations, is a boundless economic powerhouse. Supremacy narratives facilitated the creation of false hierarchies which propped up power structures and enabled the worst of capitalism: black vs. white, … Continue reading Supremacy In the Mirror World
All growth leads to overshoot and the collapse of civilisations. Any species overgrowing all others eventually suffers termination-level resource deficits both from the ecosystem (prey, raw materials) and the physical environment (habitable space, water, etc). Humans crossed their survivability threshold thousands of years ago and have been sustained by completely artificial means ever since: intensive … Continue reading Beyond Growth: Journey to Gaia 1
The sooner and harder the global economy crashes, the faster we can transition to a social transformation where the people own the economy, rather than the economy owning them. The more of us realise that modern civilisation has failed us, the bolder our imagination will gallop in envisioning new societies based on the human and … Continue reading Ten Things You Can Do to Help the Economy Crash Even Harder this Christmas
The Necroglossary is included in my book In The Grip of Necrocapitalism: The Making and Breaking of a Psychonomy Algorithmocracy A techno-fascist dystopia where highly intelligent algorithms manipulate public opinion to control power.

This is the critical age when all children learn the very important message: “only through presents and products can a human being ever reach happiness”. By … Continue reading The Fraud of Satan Claus
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

The invention of the concept of entitlement is yet another example of the futile attempts of our species to rewrite nature’s laws. By proclaiming ourselves “entitled” to resources like food and water, we have sought to convince ourselves that we actually “own” these resources, in unlimited quantities. Ownership, and the many entitlements that we have … Continue reading The Fascism of the Human Supremacy Bubble
There was a time when humans were foragers. There were no supermarkets, not even agriculture – in other words, there was no “food production system” as such. The system was Earth itself, and it was the level of food supply that moderated demand, which in turn, controlled population (and this further limitted demand). As long … Continue reading The Myth of a Sustainable Humanity
(from the Untitled new novel) With unwavering tenacity and determination, the seeds continued to push with whatever strength they had against the infinite, pitch-black darkness of the heavy, moisture-laden soil up above. While their persistence and courage were admirable, the truth was that none of them had even the faintest idea of where exactly they … Continue reading To Believe
