Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor: How to resist end times facism

About this event

The governing ideology of the far right has become a monstrous, supremacist survivalism. How do we build a movement strong enough to stop them? The far right is rising at an alarming rate – and it’s different from anything we’ve seen before. Billionaire tech barons, ethno-nationalists and religious fundamentalists are uniting in their belief that some kind of cleansing cataclysm is coming, welcoming a future of catastrophe, and convinced they’ll be among the saved on the other side. But Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor reveal that these new survivalists are far from impregnable. Join them as they discuss their blistering and hopeful new book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World . They’ll take us deep into this man-made Armageddon complex and show us how to resist it. This is your chance to hear firsthand from Klein and Taylor on how we can help each other counter this apocalyptic narrative with a far better story. A story not of end times, but of better times; not of separation and supremacy, but of belonging and interdependence. They’ll also be answering audience-submitted questions.
