The Problem With The Thrutopian Narrative
Published..8/02/2026
WHOEVER CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE HAS THE POWER
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. Solidarity Prepping follows the science of the climate crisis and adaptation.
Insights for survival methods within climate‑aggravated collapse
☆Building adaptive community networks
☆Rethinking local self-sufficiency
☆Expanding skills for survival
"Due to their origins within a stable climatic environment, skills such as farming, hunting, and foraging will need to adapt to the unpredictable challenges of the Anthropocene. No longer will the seasons be predictable, and the ability to grow crops or raise animals for food is in doubt."
"While the examples of past collapses give indications that people moved to
In other areas where food shortages occurred, or crops failed consistently, the global nature of the crisis means there is no place unaffected. The complex societies could collapse downward, to a smaller but surviving equilibrium. The contrast here, is that in the process, the ecological degradation of the contributing factors of collapse could take significant swathes of Earth'ss inhabitants, both animal and human, to the brink of extinction. In terms of survival practices therefore, communities could focus on skills for disaster response, such as first aid, search and rescue techniques, and emergency shelter construction, as well as psychological first aid to address trauma and stress. If traditional healthcare systems break down, community health networks that focus on preventative care and identifying vulnerable individuals could save lives, given the significant importance of healthcare".
Short reading of excerpts from the paper How We Could Survive In A Post Collapse World.
This paper does not mention wet bulb temperatures another much-avoided climate risk. Kevin Hester however identifies that it will soon become the global leader for human mortality. According to these Thrutopian climate influencers, we can't tell people the truth about our predicament, because they have decided you are not ready to know.
Rost's paper is peer-reviewed science. The alternative is the opinions & propaganda of a Shamanic practitioner & YouTube Influencer suggesting that preparedness and wilderness practitioners are doing "Dystopian Survivalism in 2026". Then going on to use 18 & 19th century tropes to suggest that indigenous peoples' survival skills are backward and no one is going back to living in a mud hut in Wales. Rejecting indigenous peoples' survival skills while looting their culture for ceremonies and ritual is a tad hypocritical.
Survivalism In 2026 Is A Reality Which We Should All Wake Up To.
We absolutely are absolutely doing Survivalism in 2026, dismissing it as dystopian seems a little foolish considering the National Security Report hints at breadbasket failures and the NEB agrees.
Its a fallacy that you can learn survival skills when you need them. For example, if you were to rely on the XReadiness survival pamphlet in a crisis it would kill you in one winter outside overnight or during a summer heatwave wet bulb event because you can't write a survival manual based on research, that is so Dunning-Kruger. New Age Spirituality is also not the knowledge required for surviving a collapse.
So far any discussion about the British approach to adaptation has been dominated by mediocrity, misplaced optimism and passing the buck to artists and writers to come up with stories of how we survive severe storms, winter power cuts and the collapse of agriculture with no skills and the pundits want to call it Thrutopia and Transformative Adaptation and talk about a flourishing future
What we are going to eat when agriculture collapses is a pertinent question, are there any writers or artists who can tell a story of how this happens? Taking into account "Due to their origins within a stable climatic environment, skills such as farming, hunting, and foraging will need to adapt to the unpredictable challenges of the Anthropocene. No longer will the seasons be predictable, and the ability to grow crops or raise animals for food is in doubt."
The levels of research required to understand which edible plants could survive -40°C to 55°C is far more complex than foraging for some wild garlic from the local woods. The skills required to survive this bottleneck will be the same as the skills required to survive the last one.
What happens when we lose the Goldilocks climate niche for agriculture?
Dr Gail Bradbrook asks "What happens when supermarket shelves are empty", Her identification of Food Banks for taking up the slack is deeply flawed. Food Banks are where surplus food goes. If the supermarkets are empty the food banks are too.
The government has intentionally redacted the parts of this National Security and Biodiversity Loss document which will likely cause bread riots and expose Britain's vulnerability to enemies.
Dr Stephanie Rost identifies that a climate-aggravated collapse will mean that there is nowhere safe to run to across the entire planet.
As always with all these climate shocks we find ourselves confronted sooner than expected.
Doomers are however different we are pushing the boundaries of thinking about what collapse means. What happens when we lose the Goldilocks climate niche for agriculture?
The reality is far more grim and delusional. There is an expectation among some UK climate influencers that artists and writers are to light our way through collapse, perhaps even avoid collapse! As the temperature continues to rise. The publishing cycle is long. How long do we have to wait for the Thrutopian collapse bible? Things keep happening sooner than expected? Thrutopia suggests collapse is going to be fun and we can find new ways to live as we move through. - It's a dystopian fantasy to suggest fiction writers, storytellers and artists can solve our existential crisis.
In the Global South collapse is sea level rise, partial agricultural collapse due to erosion, partial infrastructure destruction due to catastrophic storms and wet bulb events. Collapse narratives are increasingly white middle-class fantasies of flourishing and overoptimism.
Of course, it makes sense for the less expert to delegate skilled work to others outside. But the sensibility of co-opting the even less skilled just seems utter Lunacy and then to go on to attempt to dominate the messaging just as this suppressed national security report hits the public simply confirms that artists and writers are not going to be the highly skilled leaders in collapse. They might narrate the stories of how solidarity Preppers teach skills to communities like practical solutions for flooding & keeping sewage out of your home, 1st aid, water purification, climate resilient plants, search and rescue skills, rainwater harvesting and so much more. They can narrate those stories, but as far as leading that change is concerned, it's the people with the skills and already in that thinking space who are already several steps ahead with skills, knowledge and experience.
"We need hope" I keep hearing Phoenix repeat. Hope isn't skilled. We need skilled people and out of learning skills, cooperation, mutual aid & mutual care we grow hope and climate-resilient foods.
The #SolidarityPreppers have those skills and I recommend that everyone do a free Mental Health First Aid Course, because we don't need shamanic practitioners telling us how to connect with the web of life or fixing our anxiety with soul retrieval expeditions and birthed drums when nature therapy is a scientifically proven drug-free anxiety cure.
Climate Emergency Centres should not be shadow-banning people who comment on their videos.
Shadow banning is how YouTubers censor comments on their videos. The commenter can see their own comment, but the rest of the audience can't. This is one of the methods of how the narrative is controlled.
It's not clever to censor the voices who might not agree with you but are clearly more highly skilled and adaptable to the climate emergency than most.
Dominating the narrative is about ensuring no one is contradicting the hopium overdosing, suck up the cool-aid. None of it will get you through a collapse, as you starve you can be reading thrutopian fiction and wondering why you allowed yourselves to be influenced by people who have no survival skills and no knowledge.
Solidarity Prepping is a #climateactivist collective, leaderless, but very much an active idea of climate survival and preparedness, antifascist, anarchist, skills and knowledge-based preparedness for #climatecollpse
We are not Far-Right Reform supporting preppers. We are anarchists who spend time in nature perfecting our skills and challenging ourselves to improve our survival chances.
#collapse is not some distant event, it is a current discreet ongoing and asymmetric crisis.
Solidarity Prepping is already a LIVE and active collective.
