Founder of collapse platform Deep Adaptation, Jem Bendell, is promoting right-wing individuals and ideas. When we raised our concerns, he suggested we are arrogant, cowardly, authoritarian, eco-Stalinist, trolls. We now, unfortunately, feel we must publicly distance ourselves from Jem. #JustCollapse – sometimes anti-social, always anti-fascist.

Butterflies disappear, solar panels appear
Butterflies disappear, solar panels appear By Japp Tielbeke [excerpt from article published in De Groene Amsterdammer] The world as we know it is doomed to death. Are we fooling ourselves with optimistic predictions? Or is it useful to keep hope? What can we really know about the future of our planet? There’s a group calledContinue reading “Butterflies disappear, solar panels appear”
Dystopian landscape of lies
A dystopian landscape of lies, marketing, and conspiracy theories. This is the post-truth world we inhabit – where war is called peace, hate is called love, and collapse is called growth, progress, or transformation. Tell the truth and #TalkCollapse!
Functionally extinct by 2045
Humans projected to be functionally extinct by 2045 (and not from climate): “Falling human fertility can’t be reversed by cheerleading for motherhood… [this] cannot overcome the relentless chemical assault on human fertility still in progress and getting worse.” Don’t just collapse, #JustCollapse.
Follow the blue butterflies!
If you follow us on Twitter (X) or want to follow us on another platform, we have just launched ourselves on Bluesky. It’s user friendly, not owned by Elon Musk, and has a pretty blue butterfly for a logo. What’s not to like! #TalkCollapse https://bsky.app/profile/justcollapse.bsky.social
The BS idea of ‘climate overshoot’
Climate overshoot is the idea that we can exceed 1.5C and still return to a safe and stable climate. This BS is peddled by the IPCC and climate influencers. Exceeding 1.5C means irreversible climate change with new science demonstrating that, “from a climate justice perspective, overshoot entails socioeconomic impacts and climate-related loss and damage thatContinue reading “The BS idea of ‘climate overshoot’”
Who’s worse on climate?
Who’s worse on climate? In 2023, Biden-Harris oversaw record oil and gas production. The USA is the largest oil producer in the world and Trump won’t deviate from this course. Why? Because power depends on power. Without energy, governments, nation states, and empires collapse. With energy, climate change and ecocide accelerate. Catch-22. #TalkCollapse because thisContinue reading “Who’s worse on climate?”

The evil that is ‘hope’
“Pandora’s ‘hope’ leads to a paradox. Hope means understanding our powerlessness in a situation. It means trusting that some other individual, group or spiritual entity will take an action that we are unequipped or unprepared to take ourselves. If we knew what to do and could do it, we wouldn’t need hope.” As Prof EliotContinue reading “The evil that is ‘hope’”
A ‘just’ phone???
We appreciate Extinction Rebellion co-founder Gail Bradbrook’s passion for justice. However, she misunderstands the nature and severity of our predicament. Hi-tech phones can never be ‘just’ or ‘sustainable’. They are ecocidal greenwashed business-as-usual, dressed up as ‘degrowth’ or a ‘just transition’. Tell the truth, the real truth. This is #collapse.
