“End Times Fascism”: Naomi Klein on How Trump, Musk, Far Right “Don’t Believe in the Future”
www.democracynow.org
An alliance between the far right and Silicon Valley oligarchs has given rise to a form of “end times fascism,” says journalist Naomi Klein, who details in a recent essay co-authored with Astra Taylor how many wealthy elites are preparing for the end of the world even as they contribute to growing inequality, political instability and the climate crisis. Klein says that while billionaires dream of escaping to bunkered enclaves or even to space, President Donald Trump and other right-wing leaders are turning their countries into militarized fortress states to keep out immigrants from abroad and ramp up authoritarian control domestically. “There’s always an apocalyptic quality to fascism, but fascism of the 1930s and ’40s had a horizon” for a utopian future, says Klein. Today, by contrast, “we’re up against people who are actively betting against the future — not just actively betting against it, but fueling the fires that are burning this world.”

Denial abounds. They live in alternate reality, fiction, not authentic science reality.

“Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - “идеальный образ” возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем… положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому.” … “Следующим шагом необходимо было разработать систему передачи задач и информации, чтобы никакая гэбуха и АНБ не смогли её спалить.” … “Дальше оставалось только загрузить эти данные в информационные потоки и социальные сети.”

    See, this is exactly my point

    Your point is you hate human people you don’t comprehend or understand and call them machines, dehumanizing them. That’s the only purpose of your replies, to attack and use Lemmy computer machines to dehumanize people.

    engage in a manor any normal member of society does

    Behave like Elon Musk and Donald Trump role models of May 2025, dehumanize people you don’t understand or comprehend. Just go with the flow of “normal”, no matter how corrupt or bad normal is. That’s your values. Germany 1937, just do what everyone else is doing. Do not resist, do not be unique, step in line and lick boots because that’s the crowd behavior.

    the information is out there and it’s you who is refusing to come to the table and have normal civil discussions.

    what information is out there? non-specific, without context.

    I didn’t read any of it in fact.

    Proud of your avoidance of the “bad people” you disagree with. Proud of your ignorance of your non-diverse point of view. Very popular. Called a “filter bubble”.

    evidenced by your profile consisting mostly of downvoted comments

    The Donald Trump values of popularity as power. twitter-thinking ideas and concepts. Fox News HDTV popularity. You really have caught on to May 2025 Internet culture, real free thinker.
