Breaking Together: A freedom-loving response to collapse

Product Information

That’s not because that would make it more like my own voice (easy, tiger), but because I don’t like coders tricking people into thinking they are interacting with anything other than a computer programme.

if you're going to say that it makes life harder for drivers, then I don't see the problem with that - cars ruin everything). As levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere climb ever higher, the effects of climate change are now being felt. Half way through the programme, the UN secretary-general warned that rather than progress, many of the goals were moving backwards. This book describes people allowing the full pain of our predicament to liberate them into living more courageously and creatively. By integrating insights from a broad range of scholarship, it invites us to understand the full significance of what’s happening.

In other words, the focus is on the process and the integrity of our actions, rather than being fixated on the end result. Collapse framed as a possible – or even inevitable – future event is one thing, because until one’s conception of that ‘event’ actually happens it remains possible to deny that it ever will.

Grassroots Planning: This action is also ecolibertarian, as it involves local solutions and community independence over global influences. My view is that such ideas are propagated by tech companies to distract from their own responsibilities for the code they release into the world. Ten years later, I know that there was a lot more to it, and that prostitution is the wrong word – paedophilia, sex trafficking and even blackmail are more accurate. Coming from someone with inside knowledge of globalist organisations before rejecting them so totally, it is a powerful contribution. Hands up if you have also experienced difficult emotions because of your awareness of what is happening and what is to come?

It might also help refresh people’s memories (even mine) and produce some usefully concise summaries.

It then suggests a new agenda for radical politics, beyond the superficiality that besets both left and right. According to Bendell, critical wisdom is a combination of mindfulness, critical literacy, rationality, and intuition.

The list I was providing from ‘Breaking Together’ that detailed pathways to attaining critical wisdom didn’t include a fifth point as such. They are unscientific because they ignore how complex human societies existed for tens of thousands of years without destroying their environments. And it teaches us it is hard to explain precisely why because collapse is always the result of multiple interacting factors. The response from adults can be to gaslight them, by claiming their attitude or mental health is the problem, rather than the state of the world. Reviewing Organizational Vulnerabilities: While this action isn’t inherently ecolibertarian, it can be aligned with these principles when organizations work towards reducing dependencies on destructive systems and embracing local, sustainable solutions.

That has meant I could develop a collapse-ready organic permaculture farm school – something that would require millions in finance to do in the West. But I also have little doubt the book will resonate deeply with the wider public, those that are now experiencing the effects and anxieties of crumbling societies in their daily lives. These kinds of efforts can be regarded as contributing to a great reclamation of our power from big corporations and the governments they control. Encouraging ‘Being the Change’: Individuals can embody the change they wish to see, thus liberating people from oppressive modern systems. Escaping the efforts of panicking elites, we can advance an ecolibertarian agenda for both politics and practical action in a broken world.The new choice is whether to liberate oneself from past compromises and explore, experiment and play with new approaches to life. This economic imprisonment is why I am so enthusiastic about people creating alternative exchange systems as part of their efforts at community development.
