Well worth a read.

(And maybe someone will find a link to the full audio?)

I struggled to get past "ecolibertarian" and "What’s coming is bad, but it’s not all bad" but I'm glad I did. And with the #Manosphere raging, "ecolibertarian" is at least better than "Muskian QAnon incel".

Seeing a small chance of a #CollapseIntoCommunity paradox.
But probably there isn't really.

Breaking Together encourages us to think about collapse in ways that are profound, possibility-expanding and startlingly original. Bendell’s “post-doom” perspective has the potential to change individual lives, upend organisational strategies and give birth to whole new social movements.

Bendell advocates for an ideal of “ecofreedom”. This moves beyond obvious ideas, such as reconnecting with nature, to encompass supporting youth climate activism and decolonial, resource-preserving movements in the Global South.

The post-doom approach also calls for embracing a “positive disintegration” of self and values, to refocus one’s mind, and entire existence, on things that really matter.
