DoomsdaysCW<p>Having studied history and religions (and learning about "End Times" Baptists firsthand), I can tell you that this UNHOLY alliance is the greatest threat to life on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MotherEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MotherEarth</span></a>! They discount the Earth because they don't believe She is alive! That is the difference between Earth-based religions and hierarchical ones -- which also include the religion of greed, money, and seeing our beautiful world as just something to exploit!</p><p>“End Times Fascism”: Naomi Klein on How Trump, Musk, Far Right “Don’t Believe in the Future”</p><p>May 05, 2025, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DemocracyNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyNow</span></a> </p><p>"[W]e are in a moment where our elites, whether they admit it or not, do understand that our economic model — and I’ve written books about this and talked about it with you in the past — is at war with life on Earth, right? And they are barreling down this road of more and more extraction of fossil fuels, of all kinds of — you know, basically, anything they can extract from this Earth and turn into energy and money, particularly now with AI, which is a energy and resource hog — water, LNG, critical minerals, all of it.</p><p>So, we’re trying to understand how this is informing the kind of fascism that we’re seeing, and also we’re trying to understand what unites this kind of strange Frankenstein coalition that Trump represents, where he’s bringing together these — you know, the richest people in the world who have ever existed with many working-class people, so what binds the vision, right?</p><p>"And what we cope with in this piece, or what we propose in this piece, is that they all have given up on this world. Like, they all have bought into a kind of apocalyptic fever — right? — whether it’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElonMusk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElonMusk</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JeffBezos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JeffBezos</span></a> and their investments in outer space and sort of writing off this planet, whether <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a>, which is willing to sacrifice this animate world in order to build an artificial world, or whether it’s the more populist <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> vision of the fortress nation-state — right? — which is thinking, 'OK, we know more and more people are going to be coming. We know that disaster is on the horizon.'
