Astra Taylor

I have to run.

I'm actually heading out to the, I don't know if you're familiar with Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor.

They're doing a talk tonight in Ottawa.

So I have to, I live sort of in the middle of nowhere, countryside.

I think by far the most likely outcome is an age of abundance.

End times fascism, that's Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor's name for this new and dangerous moment.

You face a choice.

Do you change the system, or do you just get with the program?

People need to be bought in on a real level for changes to stick.

From The Guardian, this is Radical Thinking with me, Adit Chakraborti.

Naomi Klein, Astra Taylor, welcome.

One of the things that really stands out about both of you is that you're intellectuals, but you are not afraid of writing with emotion.

I think by far the most likely outcome is an Asia of monarchs.

Also, and you can see it in the, in the Republican Party now, um, where because of the char- charisma of Trump, they all coalesce around his, you know, his, his, his personal beefs and to some extent, certain, you know, religious ideas.

You know, this is a, uh, something, a note that's being sounded by, um, Astra Taylor and, uh, Naomi Klein.

But um, I, I, I do think there is become-- there's a kind of coalescence around a certain core conservative ideas and to have those ideas dominate, um, the media landscape.

I do think that that's a project.

This idea of supremacist survivalism is that the deserving few will survive as the rest perish.

This idea is from Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor, who are commenting that at end of times, we know that climate doom is here.

Not everyone is going to survive this climate catastrophe.

And rather than find a way to collectively survive, for example, by reducing our consumption, by changing the means of our production and extraction, instead we have those with the means creating bunkers for themselves so that they ensure their survival and are fine and actually encouraging of everyone else perishing.
