You can read the previous “Climate” thread here. I’ll be back tomorrow with an “Economic” thread.
Continuing on with my thoughts from the previous climate thread re “localism”. And Pan, I saw your reply just now. I wasn’t preaching to you. That article annoyed me enough to justify a little rant… albeit I know that was the point. XD
What is interesting about the localism trend is that it is gaining traction precisely at a time when the local of the past has completely disappeared and been replaced by a dithering simulacrum.
Because it is a simulacrum (or abstract reconstruction) of an imagined past, this postmodern “localism” can only justify itself within an imagined future where a small, stationary community somewhere remote, scenic and almost entirely segregated from the hell of other people is a viable social formation. And yes, usage of the word segregation is wholly intended. So basically – a future where everyone else is either dead or running their own local communities far away, as well as one where the things that killed others only made “us” stronger.
It’s actually quite romantic, in a dark and gritty, Nietzschean sort of way, and perhaps even in a way that could be described with another word that begins with the letter N.
Which is ironic, because the social formation that is actually the most likely to survive collapse begins with an N as well. Nomadic tribes that are close-knit to the point murdering recalcitrant elements, internally (mostly) egalitarian, constantly on the move and engaging in some combination of pastoralism, fighting, raiding, limited temporary slavery, hunting and gathering.
In the world of say 50 years from now, a local i.e sedentary autarky is a death sentence on account of climate change alone, not to mention the dilemma inherent to attempting to organically farm at scale soils ravaged by centuries of intensive agriculture, or the fact the vast majority of virgin land today is so for good reasons that will only get better as the world gets worse. Global collapse must be solved globally. And if not, the alternative isn’t local but its opposite: to be without a home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone.
Jupiviv, I hadn’t meant to suggest that you were preaching, but rather that, in preaching to the choir, you were arguing a point I entirely agreed with. I also agree with what you are saying here.
The “simulacrum (or abstract reconstruction) of an imagined past” you mention is very much the future as depicted by Jim Kunstler in his World Made by Hand novels; a future he describes as an “enlightened nineteenth century,” albeit with a dystopian twist.
Unfortunately, settled communities are going to struggle for the reasons you mention and nomadic, scavenging, hunting gangs of opportunists do indeed look poised to fare best in a post-collapse world. Cormac Mccarthy’s The Road, and the unremittingly bleak movie of the same name, accord more closely with my own vision of the future, unfortunately.
GET ON THE ROAD!
Yes!
https://youtu.be/M6Ggp3TJjuE?feature=shared
(Just a little misplaced humor. I agree with Jupiviv and with Pan about The Road.)
Methinks you’ve not read the book, the dire message of which is:
“STAY OFF THE ROAD!”
Jupiviv, I hadn’t meant to suggest that you were preaching, but rather that, in preaching to the choir, you were arguing a point I entirely agreed with. I also agree with what you are saying here.

Hello Pan
Interesting theme nomadisme
The Post-Fossil Nomadism
Back in the mid-1980s, I traveled with the “blue men” — the Tuareg — somewhere along the border of Morocco and Mauritania. At the time, we in the West liked to embrace the idea of “indigenous peoples” — Aborigines, Papuans, Native Americans, or the Maasai. We imagined that we could learn from them, somewhere between the songlines and the promise of Shangri-La. The reality was different: alcohol, ghettos, impoverished reservations in the U.S. and Canada. Only with the Tuareg it seemed, briefly, as if they had escaped that fate.
But it turned out otherwise. And what we see in them today is the future of nomadism.
When the fossil base falls away and the promise of local autarky collapses, another social form remains: post-fossil nomadism. It is no return to pastoral tribes, but a raw, improvised variant that lives on plunder and mobility.
The outlines are already visible. The Tuareg, once seen as a “noble” nomadic people of the Sahara, after the collapse of Libya in the 2010s turned into armed caravans of a new type. No camels, but Toyota pickups. No trade in salt and ivory, but human trafficking and arms smuggling. The classical role of guide and herder shifted into that of raider and broker along migration routes. The old nomadic ethos endured — mobility, clan ties, knowledge of routes — but its content transformed into opportunistic plunder.
We see the same pattern elsewhere. In Nigeria, mobile groups systematically tap pipelines, steal crude, and refine it in “bush refineries” into diesel. In Somalia, a generation of fishermen turned pirate, using their maritime skills to board tankers and container ships. In Venezuela, colectivos evolved into armed motorbike gangs, partly state-backed, controlling flows of fuel, food, and contraband.
The logic is always the same: speed, mobility, improvisation. Generators stripped for parts, trucks plundered before the state arrives, migrants or fuel traded as long as the route is open. Borders and laws vanish; only the road to the next cache matters.
What the Tuareg have already shown in the Sahara is a blueprint of the post-fossil society: mobility as survival strategy, with plunder and the trade in people and energy at its core. The noble aura of the past may remain in our imagination, but in practice they are the forerunners of a nomadism that can appear anywhere once fixed structures collapse.
And so I look back at those days in the Sahara: when we thought in terms of “wisdom of the desert,” of timeless songlines and noble peoples. What seemed then like an echo of the past has become, unexpectedly, a glimpse of our collective future.
You have led an interesting life, Zip!
It is indeed easy to romanticise these exotic, nomadic cultures – I know I am guilty of it – and perhaps, on some primitive level, we envy them for enjoying a freedom we long ago sacrificed for a life of static toil.
The roving gangs of desperate bandits and marauders that may emerge, post-collapse in countries like the UK will have no rich tradition to drawn on and be entirely devoid of romance. The only extant nomads in the UK are the Roma, who may not fare too badly in a dystopian future, come to think about it, given that they tend to be very tough, very practical and are bound together by a strong sense of cultural identity.
The Road meets The Road Warrior in this Mad Mad Mad Max World.
The one report of the collapse of the Sami Reindeer indigenous people due to climate change and mining struck me hard. Those are one “tribe” I thought had a chance to escape the ravage onslaught of our destructive wave. APPARENTLY not!
During my days of past, I stumbled on a craft book on their hunting knives and how to recreate them. Exquisitely beautiful and unique each one. Of course, mass producers market them online as Sami knives knockoffs. Probably made in China.
Anyway, doubt many of us need to be concerned about life “on the road”, like the sign said “Dead End…Stupid”
Vince, I have not been as optimistic as you re the Sami, as in some ways they are on the front-line of climate change.
I’ve noticed quite a few stories these past years about mass reindeer deaths due to starvation in the winter months, and northern Scandinavia experienced its most intense and long-lasting heatwave on record this summer, driving reindeer to crowded lakes and cities in search of water and cool spots.
From 2020: “In Sweden’s Arctic, ice atop snow leaves reindeer starving… Snowfall is common in these areas, but as temperatures increase, occasional rainfall occurs – and ‘rain-on-snow’ events are having devastating effects. The food is still there, but the reindeer can’t reach it. The animals grow weaker and females sometimes abort their calves while the survivors struggle to make it through the winter.”

As I scrolled down the list of climate-induced disasters, I have to admit, that despite the vast damage humanity is inflicting on its mother, the photos you include with each snippet leave me in awe of her beauty. But the “Wow!”, “What did we do to deserve this splendor?”, quickly morphs into, what did she do to deserve such a thrashing and trashing?
Consciousness has often been touted as the universe’s way of getting some appreciation for its grandeur… how sad that it also seems to inflict the only entity that has been endowed with it (supposedly) with an accompanying attitude that it’s all there for us to dominate and control for our sole benefit, regardless of the destruction we so revel in (as 2morrow’s posts will illustrate).
