"I have met many more people who believe an imminent societal collapse
invites personal and collective transformation with universal love at
the core, than I have met people who become grim survivalists.
“Preppers” have a label for themselves. What might be ours? I have
wondered whether “collapsnik” could work. It invokes the term “peacenik”
from the early 1970s, which described people who campaigned against the
West’s war in Vietnam and Cambodia to an extent that it became a
cultural identity for them. Similar to peaceniks, we are not apathetic,
but principled, devout, counter-cultural and communitarian. Some wonder
whether “collapsnik” implies we want collapse to happen. Not in my case
– I like my life at the moment. But I could do with a simple way of
identifying people who believe collapse is coming and have let that
awareness change their lives."
