There Is No Exit from Climate Chaos, Only Mutual Aid
We are entering a period of overlapping crises
Climate breakdown, inequality, and technological disruption are no longer separate problems—they reinforce each other. Hamish Campbell argues that exit culture, from private bunkers to AI transcendence, is a dangerous fantasy. Instead, we need grassroots democratic resilience: local relationships plus open networks like the Fediverse and ActivityPub. The choice is clear: fear, scapegoating, and authoritarianism, or crisis, cooperation, and solidarity.
There is no bunker large enough to protect a society from the consequences of destroying the living systems it depends upon.
