We are perpetually devastated by the violent systems that define modernity and so we live as vigorously, creatively, and attentively as possible in delighted defiance.

We live in a time of social, economic and ecological unravelling…We will face this reality honestly and learn how to live with it…The end of the world as we know it is not the end of the world full stop. Together, we will find the hope beyond hope, the paths which lead to the unknown world ahead of us.
—The Dark Mountain Uncivilisation Manifesto
