The Problem With The Thrutopian Narrative

Image
Published..8/02/2026 WHOEVER CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE HAS THE POWER https://youtu.be/rNuzkAosEDw?si=6DT8oP85ZiplKeq_ So the question is why is it so important to control the narrative around the climate emergency  #preparedness in Britain by a select few influencers, determined to freeze out preparedness, anti fascist survivalist/nature conservation & connection activists like #SolidarityPreppers & #solidarityprepping The pertinent question is: In dominating the narrative, what special skills or solutions are they bringing to the table? Thrutopia, Transformative Adaptation and a flourishing future? Just because Solidarity Preppers see things differently, it doesn't mean we are wrong or should be shadow-banned on YouTube Content about the climate emergency. #solidarityprepping or the German version #soliprepping is #antifascist #climate #preparedness & connection to #nature skills which go beyond passive wellness consumption of nature.

Are We On The Brink Of A Global Famine?

Image
Originally written as a short essay in May 2024 to be used towards making a film script. Rewritten, updated & Published 1 February 2026 A global famine is increasingly likely as breadbasket agricultural failures start to accelerate as we inch beyond the 2°C threshold of global warming. 1.5°C was the tipping point and increasing food prices and shrinkflation indicate that there are already many problems in the food supply chain and the primary driver is climate change and Overshoot. Shrinkflation in Iran and the UK Club and Penguin biscuits, both made by McVitie’s,  can no longer be described as chocolate biscuits , as they now contain more palm oil and shea oil than cocoa, a change first reported by trade journal The Grocer. Aquafresh complete care original toothpaste - from £1.30 for 100ml to £2 for 75ml at Tesco, Sainsbury's and Ocado.

The One Skillset No One Wants From Indigenous People, & The Skillset of Survival Skills

Image
First Published January 8th 2026 Edited and republished January 15th 2026 Updated 25th January 2026 I started growing Typha Latifolia a few years ago in my ponds, and I started to understand why this plant was revered by indigenous people across the globe. Although it is an invasive species in Hawaii. In the UK, it is one of many native wetland species, and it's an important plant for carbon capture. The annual biomass output from Typha is phenomenal. We could be cleaning our rivers and capturing CO2 into a plant that fills the cells within its leaves with CO2 and pressurises it.  HIGH CARBON DIOXIDE CONCENTRATIONS IN AERENCHYMA OF TYPHA LATIFOLIA Of course, this is more nuanced, but there is potential to capture CO2 in much higher concentrations than just the biomass. Typha has the potential to survive temperatures as high as  48°C, as well as at the Arctic Circle. This plant has been found almost everywhere humans have inhabited over the last 100,000 years. Indigenous people...

The Freeze Respons Is Designed To Shut Down Conversation

#SolidarityPrepping #soliprepping #preppingtogether is an international alternative mutual aid network which are primarily anti fascist. We promote community cooperation and counter the dominance of the far right wing politics, climate denial and hope-porn (hopium) in preparedness. We are also a group which are tacking the reality of climate change and climate change survival through cooperation and mutual aid. Many of us ls feel the need to counter some of the Hope Porn being pushed by green influencers because it isn't helpful and lulls people into inaction becasue they cannot grasp the urgency. A lot of these notions are also exclusively white, middle class and were never meant for the hoipoloi. There's is no intentional outreach h into ethnic minorities from these movements. They offer no solution to the global south. Thrutopia : something which most people in the global south will not experience as their crops fail, droughts worsen, severe storms cause small countries'...

A growing part of the climate movement is turning to "solidarity prepping."

Climate movement: Why activists are preparing for climate collapse: A growing part of the climate movement is turning to "solidarity prepping." "At a camp in Brandenburg, activists prepared themselves for the inevitable collapse with workshops, first aid courses and discussions." https://table.media/climate/feature/climate-movement-why-activists-are-preparing-for-climate-collapse "Preparedness, especially when it’s called ‘prepping’, has a bad name, and for good reason. The prevalent image of the prepper is a right-wing, white, middle-class cis man in his 40s or 50s who stockpiles guns, food and ammunition, prioritised in roughly that order. You can watch reality TV shows about this guy, or YouTube channels made by him that might as well be titled How to Survive the Apocalypse Alone in the Woods with a Hatchet Eating Squirrels You Hunt With the Aforementioned Hatchet." https://www.redpepper.org.uk In Solidarity Prepping There's no expectation of any st...

#solidarityprepping #soliprepping #PreppingTogether Anti- Fascist Community Action & Mutual Aid For Climate Resilience & Orher Crisis

The myths of the lone survivor are nonsense. But the trope of tin can stacking is true of certain types of climate denying preppers. This isn't about them. But when climate commentators and podcasts resort to marginalising people who apply their outdoor survival skills to coping with the every day of climate and ecological collapse with tropes like "primitive", "going backwards" and "Plucky survivalists roaming the post collapse landscape" and "dystopian survivalism" we risk losing the messaging to the Far-Right . Berlins 4 day winter power outage was caused by a (green) left-wing sabotage of businesss, and a residential area was in the crossfire. What the Far-Right and oligarchs media won't tell you is that a Ukranian Refugee mutual aid group , exclusive of government direction opened their community centre which had power to the community. This is called #SolidarityPrepping or #PreppingTogether If we aren't talking about how we pl...
