The Collapse of the Human Empire: Paul Kingsnorth - Maiden Mother Matriarch 102
"My guest today is Paul Kingsnorth, author of The Abbey of Misrule Substack, and of many books, including 'Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist.' We spoke about Paul's journey from environmentalism to Orthodox Christianity, the relationship between Christian millenarianism and the fear of civilizational collapse, the attraction of zombie apocalypse films, and why secularism cannot last. In the extended part of the episode, we spoke about the political implications of Paul's idea of 'the machine', the failure of groups like Extinction Rebellion, and the reality of satanism. 00:24 Problems with modernity 06:25 Typology of environmentalists 11:12 The collapse of a global empire 12:41 ‘Collapstards’ 23:02 Fertility and modernity 32:33 The case for Christianity 35:40 Technology and spirituality 42:45 Should we let the welfare state die? 48:21 Environmentalist policy " from the video introduction
