#CollapseActivism: ‘If we want to build the kind of mass movement that can tackle this crisis, we need to think about equipping communities with the skills and tools to deal with climate impacts… The climate has changed, and we need to change our organizing and movements... 1/2
How to maintain the status quo while looking busy...
Thanks UNDP, but we think that many people already know how to act like everything is A-Okay. What they don't know is that global collapse is inevitable and irreversible. This requires something new: #CollapseActivism
If climate change keeps you up at night, and you don’t know how to make a difference, here is a list of actions that will be more impactful than you might expect. A long but essential thread.

Dear climate activists. We know this is hard to hear, but there is no switch to turnoff what has been set in motion. It will go on and on and on and on and...
This is why we need #CollapseActivism - activism that recognises the true nature and severity of our predicament.
Look at how hot summers have got and how quickly. When we see this pace of change in Earth's past it usually means mass extinction. That's us. That's now. The longer this goes on, the more assured our fate becomes.
@ClintoneBill @Conserve4Earth @Preeti_369 @ECOWARRIORSS @fue_green @future_greener @NarecNgo @GECC_Initiative @ClimatePub @Theearthrestor @meensena1 This kind of thinking was a great idea - if it was implemented 30-50yrs ago. Now, the damage has been done and the Earth is collapsing. Our actions must be informed by this reality.
We must act of socio-ecological justice as a means of easing the descent. #CollapseActivism
@GeorgeMonbiot Its far worse than that - we find ourselves at the mercy of uncontrollable climate-ecological breakdown that will make the worst corporations and governments quake in terror.
This is a predicament that is out of human control. #CollapseAcceptance=#CollapseActivism=#JustCollapse
Language matters in understanding our predicament and in framing how we take action. This includes re-imaging and re-activating politics. #CollapseActivism #CollapseMovement
Acting for basic needs is inevitable in collapse. Justice is not. Act now for a #JustCollapse!
It's not a crisis or an emergency, which implies something that's overcome and eventually ends.
The words themselves are a form of propaganda.
It's an event which all living things are subject to.
@saybirch The climate movement is not trying to mitigate the worst of the decline of capitalism! Most of these activists are capitalists trying to hold on to the status quo.
The decline of capitalism is but part of climate-ecological collapse driven by #overshoot.
#CollapseActivism!
As more and more people #TalkCollapse, we realise we are not alone but part of a community of clear-eyed realists.
This eases the pain, enables collective identity formation, and the creates purposeful pathways forward.
#CollapseAcceptance #CollapseActivism #CollapseMovement
The reality is deeply painful. I feel it as much as anyone else, but we have to face it. There's a sense of relief and freedom in letting go. Grief paves the path forward. Growing consciousness is painful but it makes us wiser.
Break the taboo #1 and #TalkCollapse
Then, if you're feeling really rad, break taboo #2 and #AcceptCollapse
Next? #CollapseActivism
@ProfJSDavies @AndMedh @UN @EliotJacobson @_ppmv @deepadaptation @ClimateHuman @GeorgeMonbiot @ClimatePsych @DarkOptimism @jembendell @medialens @ExtinctionR @buildresilience Agreed. And any concept that avoids the inevitability of collapse is also problematic and shot-sighted. We find #InsurgentPlanning and #CollapseActivism most useful in fighting for justice on the way down - as a means of easing, not stopping, the descent.
