In light of current events, it feels another epoch between ourselves and the climate change debate, which raged so heatedly and with such passions just two months ago. It will, inevitably, resurface as the defining issue of our times before long, which is fundamentally positive. Yet, what we witness in this debate is a distinct lack of sound perspective on behalf of the loudest climate protesters, which often betrays their flawed ambitions and worldview underpinning their motivations for activism. It represents a frustrating conundrum for sincere environmentalists, who see through the charlatans and their motives yet wish to support the essential message nonetheless; the diagnosis, namely that the planet is dying and we are killing it, is scientifically sound, yet the framework within which this is then extrapolated to remedies and the aesthetic of the "final product", so to speak, is so shockingly flawed it understandably acts as a barrier to those sincere believers who woul

An ironic side effect of the Coronavirus (Covid-19 hereafter) outbreak is its exposure of so-called Liberal Democracy's utter impotence in the face of crises. The regnant worldview of the West is incapable of rising to serious challenges of a national character, in a way that less liberal societies simply are not. China, for instance, whilst being an obviously unpleasant place to reside under normal conditions, has nevertheless stemmed the spread of Covid-19 through measures that make many in the West recoil – but the challenge has been accepted, and met, on a national scale with a national response. Finally, China is showing signs of being able to beat their epidemic. Similarly, countries such as Russia, Mongolia and others, though not authoritarian, have used their capacity to regulate border flow very effectively so that their populations are exposed to a significantly lesser risk of infection than those of other countries. For perspective, note that Russia has 8 cases nationw

On Race and Racism Pertinence dictates that race and racism ought to be discussed within any wider treatise that purports to diagnose the modern world’s evident sickness. Not, though, because this demanded by apparatchiks of globalisation – which it invariably is – but precisely because questions of anthropology and its relation to the ecological sphere are not raised with adequate frequency. Ironically, given their eco-focused pretences, mainstream environmentalists appear to forget that man is of nature, not detached from it. They conveniently fail to recognise Natural Law’s jurisdiction over the human sphere, presumably because of the socially uncomfortable conclusions they will be compelled to draw from it – or rather, plainly, that their hypocrisies and insincerity might be exposed. Therefore, it is incumbent upon genuine, dissident environmental thinkers to posit the pertinent queries on this issue, and then to elucidate their conclusions without deference to feeble notions

The following essay is by British horticulturalist and deep ecologist Robert Hart. It was originally published in The Anarchist Library, a scene with which Hart was presumably involved. The essay is interspersed  with frequent injections of leftist trash, but nonetheless it contains some very positive elements, particularly concerning localising power and developing agroforestry. From "The Anarchist Library" (1993), first published by The Freedom Press. Only the indomitable will to survive of ordinary people, coupled with their instinct for mutual aid at times of crisis, can save life on earth at this most crucial period of world history. It is useless to put any trust in the powers-that-be. Blinded by their incessant search for short-term profits and petty authority, they will never be induced to take the drastic steps that are essential. Throughout history, visionaries and prophets, who have cared passionately about the future of the human race, have sought gu

Depersonalism and Industrialism        “If you want to be an individual, go elsewhere!” The Industrial System is a web of contradiction. Most notable of all its hypocritical attributes is its apparent social focus on individualism whilst simultaneously promoting a way of being that we may call Depersonalism . Note, we have not used the extant noun ‘depersonalisation’, for that describes the action of removing the qualities which make one human; Industrial Society ensures individuals never receive the opportunity to develop that which makes them an individual, thus it pursues a policy of Depersonalism. Depersonalism is the way in which the Industrial System breeds legions of cogs to perform near-identical functions in its vast array of industries, cogs whom we may call the Underman (as opposed to “subhuman”, for we are discussing variable attributes as opposed to objective and inherent value). The contradiction is such that the people are encouraged to disabuse themselves of a

Industrialism and Overpopulation §1. Overpopulation 1.1   It is well established amongst both laypeople and so-called experts that the world is drastically overpopulated. 1.2   Indeed, this is a point upon which the vast majority of people can agree. 1.3   The global population currently sits at 7,530,000,000, or 7.53 billion. Asia, with approximately 4.5 billion people is the most populous continent, and China and India combined account for 36% of the world’s population. The United States of America is the most populous western country, with almost 320 million inhabitants, whilst the European continent contains well over 500 million people. Africa, with its 1 billion inhabitants – projected to rise to over 4 billion this century – is also a major contributor. 1.4   Size alone doesn’t quantify our overpopulation problem. We must also consider the density of population, which is arguably an improved metric. 1.5   Excluding dependencies and minor principalities, countri
