Listen up, everybody! You need to read these two articles (right now!!! ) and then send them to everyone you know. Look, Marxist theory is fine, it’s got its place, but if you’re not paying attention to what’s happening in the world today, you’re missing a huge chunk of the story. Naomi Klein nails it in her article about end times fascism (except the part where she says we need to fight it with the power of love and friendship). She breaks down the twisted ideology we’re actually up against. And let me be clear: this isn’t just old-school capitalism. This is a full-blown, multi-layered death cult, and if we don’t wake up, it’s going to take us all down.
We should be furious. You see how right-wing conspiracy theorists are out there, flooding the internet with wild, sensational stories about liberals being the anti-christ and killing babies? Well, guess what, the real conspiracy is right in front of us. These right-wing death cults are actively trying to wreck the world and drag us all into the apocalypse. That’s not hyperbole. It's reality.
So why aren’t we matching that energy? Why aren’t we flooding every feed, every platform, with the truth about what’s actually happening? It’s time to get loud. It’s time to call this out for what it is. If we don’t, who will?

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/sep/04/super-rich-prepper-bunkers-apocalypse-survival-richest-rushkoffSummary of "The super-rich ‘preppers’ planning to save themselves from the apocalypse":
The article explores how some of the world’s wealthiest tech billionaires and hedge fund managers are investing heavily in luxury bunkers, private security, and remote compounds to survive potential global catastrophes-referred to as “the event”-such as climate collapse, pandemics, or social unrest. The author, Douglas Rushkoff, recounts his experience being invited to consult with a group of these ultra-wealthy individuals, who were less interested in improving society and more focused on strategies to maintain power and security after a societal collapse.
Key points include:
Escape Over Engagement: The super-rich are obsessed with finding ways to escape the consequences of the very systems and crises their industries have contributed to, rather than addressing root causes or investing in collective resilience.
Security Concerns: Much of their planning revolves around how to control private security forces post-collapse, fearing that loyalty might falter when money loses value.
Isolationist Mindset: This “Mindset”-the belief that technological and financial superiority can buy isolation from global problems-pervades Silicon Valley and the tech elite.
Critique of the Approach: Rushkoff argues that this approach is self-defeating and morally questionable, as it seeks to insulate a select few rather than foster broader societal resilience.
Alternative Visions: The article also profiles JC Cole, who is developing “safe haven” farms that combine security with sustainable agriculture and community-building, suggesting that cooperation and investment in people are more effective survival strategies than isolation.
Bunker Industry: There is a booming industry catering to these fears, offering everything from luxury underground apartments to fortified compounds, though the article questions the actual effectiveness of such preparations.
Conclusion: The article concludes that the billionaire prepper mentality reflects a profound loss of faith in collective solutions and a troubling desire to “win” by escaping the consequences of one’s own actions, rather than working to prevent catastrophe for all.
Summary of "The rise of end times fascism":
The article examines a new, dangerous ideology emerging on the global far right, which the authors term "end times fascism." This ideology is characterized by a mix of apocalyptic thinking, supremacist survivalism, and a bunker mentality among both tech billionaires and nationalist movements.
Key Points
Corporate City-States & Seasteading:
Wealthy libertarians and venture capitalists, backed by figures like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, have long dreamed of creating private, tax-free enclaves-either as “seasteads” on artificial islands or “freedom cities” on federal land. While these ideas were once fringe, they are now being embraced by mainstream right-wing politics, especially under Donald Trump, who has promised to build “freedom cities.”
Exit Over Engagement:
The ideology is rooted in the idea of “exit”-that the wealthy should be able to opt out of social obligations (like taxes and regulations) and create their own fortified domains, protected by private security and AI, financed by crypto.
Bunker Mentality:
This vision aligns with a broader far-right trend: treating nations as armed bunkers, expelling or imprisoning outsiders, and ruthlessly securing resources for the in-group. This is seen in both elite enclaves and mass nationalist movements.
Religious and Secular Rapture:
The article draws parallels between Christian fundamentalist beliefs in the Rapture and the secular “ark” fantasies of tech billionaires like Elon Musk, who promote escape to Mars or survival in luxury bunkers as civilization collapses.
Acceleration of Collapse:
The authors argue that these elites are not just preparing for collapse-they are actively accelerating it through deregulation, environmental destruction, and policies that increase inequality and instability.
Mass-Market Prepping:
The prepper mentality is marketed to the broader MAGA base, with right-wing media figures like Steve Bannon selling gold, survival food, and home defense products, while also promoting the idea of the nation itself as a bunker.
State Violence & Resource Grabs:
The Trump administration is depicted as embracing sadistic displays of state violence (e.g., deportations, prison camps) and pursuing aggressive resource acquisition abroad as a form of national prepping.
Moral and Political Challenge:
The authors warn that this “end times fascism” is genocidal at its core and represents a betrayal of collective responsibility. They call for building a broad, spiritually and politically rooted movement to resist this ideology and defend the planet and human solidarity.
Conclusion:
The article contends that the far right, both among elites and the masses, is embracing an apocalyptic worldview that justifies exclusion, violence, and abandonment of the vulnerable. The authors urge readers to recognize the scale of the threat and mobilize in defense of a just, collective future.
