Not sure which buckets I fit into. Maybe a pessimist bucket that isn't listed. Maybe a matrix of longterm near linear decline with localized event driven rapid declines. Probably a degrowth variant since I do believe there's a minimum level of consumption tied to each person and that incremental cost has a ceiling when talking about sustainable population levels. Probably a combination of apocalyptic and cottage for aesthetics, but the possibilities are probably extremely variable based on many demographic and resource qualities of a given locality as well as what type of collapse.

So, what was the purpose of these categories?

Edit: why downvote?



It's a compass, it's a tool. You give it a purpose


And what purpose have you given it? Do you have any theoretical uses?


well I wrote it lol. But it helps me navigate the politics of it and try to build better communication and praxis in my own politics.


Are you familiar with / have you seen David Pollard's "New Political Map"?
