Worried about the Earth; *not* worried about "ecologists" who promote defeatism and "overpopulation" rhetoric in a supposedly "leftist" guise.

. @tieber.bsky.social‬ Quick questions for you, Christian Tieber, since you wanna talk bullshit:

Do you find nothing wrong with this repost Elliot made, where he quotes and links to a blog post calling themselves a fucking "Eco-Nazi"?

Stuff like this is commonplace in the self-described "doomer" (hate that word) communities. I see it all the time, but I am confident that it flies over the head of most of the whiter parts of the climate movement, who don't seem concerned about fascism and white nationalism.

There is often a decent point in criticising when people leave out important things, but stuff like this graphic really demonstrates how people often just use it for mindless and unproductive whataboutery in replies

Also feels kinda telling how "migrant crisis" is right next to "overpopulation"

Good thing about vague prophecies is that you can basically run the "impending collapse" line around any war, supply disruption, disaster, pandemic etc and it'll 'feel' right

It is really noticeable how more and more white people in wealthy countries are getting noisier about "climate collapse", but on the rare occasions they actually go into specifics, they're just describing stuff like slightly reducing overconsumption. Which I guess feels like an apocalypse.......

The biggest-name influencers are directly attacking efforts to eliminate coal, oil and gas bc "you don't need to do anything to change your life" is a popular message among the TEDxSydney resin jewellry set (none of whom will be selling their Lexus SUV after listening to Wilson)

_sarahwilson_ • Follow Original audio Liked by cbpalese and 350 others _sarahwilson_'s profile picture _sarahwilson_ Wild is back with a powerful conversation with Professor Clive Hamilton, one of the planet’s OG climate minds. Known for his decades-long fight for emissions reduction, Clive has shifted his stance, arguing that climate mitigation is no longer possible—or responsible. Instead, he believes we should focus on surviving and thriving on a heating planet. In this chat, the Charles Sturt University professor and “living legend” among Australian scholars dives into insights from his latest book, Living Hot: Surviving and Thriving on a Heating Planet. We discuss why Saul Griffith’s “electrify everything” campaign is flawed, where the safest places to live are, and what we should now be fighting for. Plus, we touch on the surprising role of class and private schools in our survival. Clive’s past works, including Requiem for a Species, Growth Fetish, and Affluenza, have shaped the climate conversation, and this one is no different. I hope you enjoy it! #ClimateCrisis #SurvivalStrategies #CliveHamilton #WildwithSarahWilson Edited · 47w sophieeustace's profile picture sophieeustace Thanks for bringing these conversations, Sarah. On my daily walks through my neigh First, she quit sugar. Now, she’s ditched ‘hopium’: Sarah Wilson’s urgent new mission The self-described renegade’s career has taken her from teenage model to magazine editor to I Quit Sugar fame. Now she’s warning the world about the biggest story of all: civilisational collapse. ByGay Alcorn July 25, 2025 There’s a hint that Wilson, while she often speaks of her grief, feels that it won’t be all bad if collapse comes to pass. It could be a “gift … returning us to our humanity”: “What I’m doing is steering everybody to asking things like, ‘Well, who do I want to be in this? Who must I be?’ ” There’s a back-to-nature emphasis on simplifying, getting off the phone, shopping less, being kind to neighbours and preparing to be more self-reliant when weather and other disasters hit. “I love the fact that I’m doing this,” she says. “It’s brought me so much joy, the humanness that comes out of this.” The work can be despairing, but “it’s raw, and it’s big”. Wilson plans to buy land outside Canberra where her family could live if they need to. She’s not a prepper; she seeks no bunker. “None of my family have money, I’m the moneybags, and I don’t have children, and I’m leaving everything to my brothers and sisters when I die, and nieces and nephews, so I figure I might as well buy the land now.” If things “go to shit, we can all go somewhere”.

The second issue: fatalism directly helps the fossil fuel industry, because *their own* core talking point is their own inevitability / unavoidability, and so it plugs with full compatibility directly into the massive disinformation machine they have created

Because it's such a massive, bald-faced lie, it pushes people who spout this line into profoundly absurd and weird corners.

Eg: the guy who says that the growth of renewable energy has in fact made emissions **HIGHER** than if we'd done nothing at all. Or, all the huge lies and deceptions in this:

HEY here's a new piece for @crikey.com.au!

Sparked by David Suzuki's recent comments, but more broadly in response to the recent rise of performative fatalism: the reassuring, widely popular and lazy idea that fighting back against fossil fuels is worthless

www.crikey.com.au/2025/07/14/c...
Climate fatalism is just as wrong as climate denial — it's never 'too late' for change
Veteran environmentalist David Suzuki believes the time has passed us to stop climate change. He's wrong.
