End Times Fascism

A scathing investigation into the apocalyptic thinking of the Christian nationalists, tech-bro reactionaries, and populist survivalists who increasingly define the contemporary right—and a recipe for how to fight them. As the planet burns and shared reality melts, a new iteration of the far right is on the march. How can we understand this dangerous new development, and what resources can we draw on to resist it? In their scathing assessment of the contemporary scene, the celebrated activists and authors Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor explore how the religious fundamentalists, Silicon Valley technologists, and ethno-nationalists who make up this apocalyptic alliance share more than one might think: they are united in their belief that some kind of cleansing cataclysm is coming, whether through the manifestation of messianic prophecy, the rampages of a resource- and job-consuming artificial intelligence, or the purported existential threat of immigration and cultural replacement. Rather than avoiding this conflagration, they welcome it, convinced they will be among the saved on the other side. “End Times Fascism” is the ideology of the actors who strive to make the world unlivable and then seek to protect themselves from the fallout—whether by repairing to luxurious private islands, rocketing off to Mars, or bunkering the nation to keep their enemies at bay. The new survivalists have accumulated power, but they are far from impregnable. As Klein and Taylor show via original reporting and analysis, their many internal conflicts and contradictions and their nihilistic inability to envision a shared future, even for their ostensible allies, leave them vulnerable to a new kind of “pro-life” politics—rooted in reverence for our shared existence and regard for the earth we inhabit and must protect.

Learning from indigenous communities now and then.

Z network writes great articles. In one of their latest they write about earthy governance Certainly, this does not mean that the welfare state should just be dismantled; It should be protected from the heinous attacks it is undergoing. But it should be protected with the simultaneous action of building better institutions to replace it. This would not be the first time we in the west have learnt from indigenous communities about how to govern ourselves. In the Dawn of Everything by Graeber and ...

Lieb's LogSep 9, 2026

Since his passing last week I've been wanting to write something about Wendell Berry. Though I have read very little of his stuff he had a major impact on my life. It was 1976. I was trying to be a farmer on some borrowed plots near Eugene Oregon. I had a tractor and was taking organic gardening to the next level by growing at a larger scale and selling to local natural food stores and distributors. At some point I joined in with some other small farmers to form a kind of self help cooperative we called Organically Grown Inc. (which eventually morphed into Organically Grown Company [1] and is today one to the largest distributors of organic produce). One of our first projects was to empty out one member's barn of horse manure, using another member's front end loader, and another member's dump truck, and spreading it on our fields. The fellow with the barn full of horse manure was named Lynn Miller [2], the horses were Belgian draft horses, and he had just started publishing the Small Farmers Journal [3]. This was still about 4 years before I started farming with Belgians myself. Intrigued by the possibility or farming with draft horses I subscribed to the Small Farmers Journal (I still have a box full of old journals from the 70's) and became an avid reader. Besides learning a lot of the technical details, I was introduced to Wendell Berry, as many of the articles contained excerpts of his writing, and I believe he may have even contributed some articles himself. The idea of living on the land and farming with draft horses became firmly ingrained in my being. To get the big picture you have to understand what my generation was going through. The late 60's was a major upheaval. The realization that our government and our schools had been lying to us our whole childhoods, the disenchantment with the rat race work to get ahead at all costs, and the need to find meaning in life, had made us all seekers. For many the search ended with psychedelic drugs, but for most it continued down many paths of spiritual teachings, gurus, and lifestyles. By the time I first read Wendell Berry I already knew that for me it meant getting back to the land. So in many ways Wendell Berrys' writings were a confirmation of what I had been felling for some time. Basically what he was saying is the you won't find the answers you seek in books, or at the feet of a guru, but rather by living on the land and immersing yourself in the natural cycles of the seasons and the world around you. Grow your own food. Simplify your life, and shun the glitter and turmoil of the modern world. No doubt my life would be better today if I had been able to remain true to these ideas. The need to be able to support my kids took me down another road, but my heart is still out there sitting under a tree in the woods.

This Bird Is Named Wrong and Doesn't Care

The pink robin lives in the cool, wet forests of southeastern Australia — Tasmania, Victoria, a bit of New South Wales — and weighs about 10 grams, roughly three sheets of paper. The male carries a genuinely rare color for a wild bird: a deep rose-pink breast set against a charcoal-black head and back. Pink almost never occurs naturally in feathers; when it does show up in birds, it's usually diet-driven, like flamingos and their shrimp. Here it's just built in, for no ecological reason anyone n...

Hammerhead Silhouette, Galápagos

<p>In the Galápagos Islands, hammerhead sharks are often encountered by divers in significant numbers due to the nutrient-rich waters. A single scalloped hammerhead was observed moving effortlessly through a school of fish, illustrating the species' critical conservation status while also highlighting the strength of ocean currents in this unique ecosystem.</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://scubahanknyc.com/2026/08/09/hammerhead-silhouette-galapagos/">Hammerhead Silhouette, Galápagos</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://scubahanknyc.com">Scuba Hank NYC</a>.</p>
