1/ Brothers, sisters, and all who seek justice. The time to act is now.
We live in a world of abundance, yet millions struggle while the few hoard what should be shared. Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a path to fairness, freedom, and purpose.

Exxon knew. They lied. The climate is collapsing. Ecosystems are dying. Business as usual means extinction. Systemic change is survival. Fight for the future or lose everything.

1) The Meaning Crisis. The growing sense of disconnection and loss of purpose in today’s world. As old sources of meaning fade, many feel adrift. How do we find shared values again? 🧵

A photograph of a forgotten high street in a northern UK town. Redbrick buildings with boarded-up shops line the cracked pavement, litter scattered across the street. A lone individual in a heavy coat walks past a broken streetlamp under an overcast sky, reflecting isolation and decline.

I’ve never had faith.
Not in gods, rituals, or the structures people build around them. But I’ve always felt the need - for connection, for purpose, for something bigger than just me. And I know I’m not alone.

1/ What makes a religion?
It’s not just about gods or rituals. It’s about meaning. Belonging. A shared story that anchors us in an unsteady world. It’s a way to say: We’re here. We matter. We’re in this together.
#Religion #Philosophy #Meaning

Imagine a world where you wake up knowing you belong. Where purpose isn’t something you chase - but something you live. Where we stop breaking the planet and each other, and start rebuilding - together.

At CoMP, we believe this longing isn’t a flaw - it’s a sign of something real. Deep down, we know the way we’re living isn’t working. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.
Here is a cinematic, high-definition photograph of a quiet forest pathway softly lit by rays of sunlight filtering through the trees. The serene tones evoke hope and a journey toward connection.

Do you feel it? That quiet ache - like something important has been lost? You're not alone. The world rushes forward, but many feel left behind - disconnected from each other, from meaning, from the Earth itself. 🧵

I’ve just applied for 400 free trees from the Woodland Trust to bring a sense of purpose to a project close to my heart, The Commons of Meaning and Purpose 🌱 Hoping to create something that connects people, nature, and our shared future. Fingers crossed! #PurposeDriven #ClimateAction #Community 🌳
The image is a confirmation page from the Woodland Trust, thanking Paul for applying for a tree pack. It includes a reference number and states that the application has been received and will be processed. It also mentions that due to high demand, the process may take a few weeks.

🌍 Collapse is imminent. We need a new kind of faith – not blind belief, but a shared commitment to survival. Can a 'religion' rooted in science, purpose, and community save us? #ClimateAction #Hope #Sustainability 🧵

3/ We’re watching you.

Every action, every delay, every deal with polluters is killing us. We’ll hold you accountable.

The world doesn’t need leaders bought by corporations. It needs bold action – now. Shut it all down. Fossil fuels have no future.

We won’t forgive failure.
A stark cinematic depiction of climate devastation. A cracked, barren landscape stretches into the horizon with a lone, dying tree in the foreground.

2/ Fossil fuels are killing us.

Your greed fuels destruction – mass extinctions, unliveable heat, starvation, collapse.

We don’t need more excuses, delays, or empty promises. We need an end to fossil fuels, a real transition, and protection for future generations. DO YOUR JOB.
A cinematic and apocalyptic scene of a city in climate collapse. Skyscrapers are partially submerged by rising ocean waters, with smoke from distant wildfires engulfing the horizon.

1/ Final notice.

We see your lies. Governments funded by fossil fuel money, selling out our future while the planet burns.

🔥 Forests burning
🌊 Oceans rising
🌪️ Storms intensifying
🌾 Crops failing

Act now or face the people’s wrath.

#ActOnClimate #FinalNotice #EndFossilFuels #ClimateCrisis
An intense cinematic depiction of environmental destruction. A darkened Earth showcases vivid red flames consuming forests, stormy oceans with massive waves, swirling dark storm clouds in the atmosphere, and withered crops in the foreground under a dim, foreboding sky. The image is dramatic and evocative of a planet in crisis.
