Climate dystopia in the here and now; neo-fascists on the march in Europe; deforestation through the last of the great forests in the Amazon and the Congo; a newly-elected president promising political massacres in Brazil: in this presentation, phylogeographer Rob Wallace asks in what ways the surges of the political right throughout the planet may be connected to the declines in resilience across the socioecological domain. On one hand, he suggests, Neoliberalism, applying strong State techno-management to liberalizing corporate-led economic growth, is in a spiral of popular de-legitimation. At the same time, neoliberal doctrine also works to undercut local landscapes and functional ecosystems, with decisive effect upon agriculture and disease control from global North to South. Faced with such challenges, how are everyday people reacting to the notion advanced by philanthrocapitalist science, that nature should be treated as a competitor whose largely free ecological services should be replaced by fictitious commodities available only on the market?
