Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor present an argument that parts of the far right are converging around an “end times” worldview, and that this mindset shapes political and corporate activity. They outline their thesis in a new video accompanying their forthcoming book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World, and frame the work as a call for people to stay committed to one another and to the shared planet.
Across the sources, the focus is on the broader context in which the trend is said to be taking shape: overlapping crises such as pandemics, climate emergencies, resource conflicts, and rapidly developing technologies. The outlets describe an alliance spanning different strands, ranging from “messianic” venture capital figures to army-controlling theocrats, united by the belief that the world’s end is near and that only a select group deserves survival. The Guardian positions the video as featuring people associated with the threat and related commentary, without offering specific policy actions in the articles themselves.
The differing emphasis is mainly on presentation: one source spotlights the book’s themes and the collaboration behind the video; another highlights the essay’s description and distribution details, including the film-makers and the publication date.
