#EndTimes
3 posts3 participants0 posts today
This essay was posted about a week ago but I did not read it until tonight. I think it is instructive regarding the irrational, destructive behavior that is happening openly in America today. It identifies the possible beliefs behind it and offers an alternate vision for the rest of us to unite around. Worth reading. Worth reposting. #EndTimesCapitalism #apocalypse #ChristianZionist #EndTimes #fascism #oligarchs #ClimateChange #maga #trump #ElonMusk #capitalism #doge https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2025/apr/13/end-times-fascism-far-right-trump-musk

Finished Naomi Klein’s Guardian piece during rests at the gym. A speedrun to seize power before the end times ticks all boxes for “what is the plan?”
It isn’t just fascism. It’s turning the world into Galt’s Gulch. It’s William Gibson’s Jackpot. Not survival of the fit, but survival of the wealthiest.

Bible prophecy isn’t about fear—it’s about preparation. Jesus didn’t tell us what would come to scare us but to ready us. He said, “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42).
That means living with purpose now. Stay in the Word. Stay in prayer. Stay alert 
God’s promises are sure, and His timing is perfect.
#Christians tell us that the #EndTimes are near, and one of the signs is the rampant immorality we see...but is it true?

NatureThe illusion of moral decline - NatureWe show that the perception of moral decline is pervasive, perdurable, unfounded and easily produced, and suggest that this illusion has implications for research on the misallocation of scarce resources, the underuse of social support and social influence.
The rise of end times fascism | Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor
excerpts:
An unspeakably dismal choice is being made before our eyes and without our consent: machines over humans, inanimate over animate, profits over all else. With stunning speed, the big tech megalomaniacs have quietly rolled back their net-zero pledges and lined up by Trump’s side, hellbent on sacrificing this world’s real and precious resources and creativity at the altar of a vampiric, virtual realm. This is the last great heist, and they are getting ready to ride out the storms they themselves are summoning – and they will try to defame and destroy anyone who gets in their way....
How do we break this apocalyptic fever? First, we help each other face the depth of the depravity that has gripped the hard right in all of our countries. To move forward with focus, we must first understand this simple fact: we are up against an ideology that has given up not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the livability of our shared world – on its beauty, on its people, on our children, on other species. The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.
Second, we counter their apocalyptic narratives with a far better story about how to survive the hard times ahead without leaving anyone behind. A story capable of draining end times fascism of its gothic power and galvanizing a movement ready to put it all on the line for our collective survival. A story not of end times, but of better times; not of separation and supremacy, but of interdependence and belonging; not of escaping, but staying put and staying faithful to the troubled earthly reality in which we are enmeshed and bound....
We have reached a choice point, not about whether we are facing apocalypse but what form it will take....
To have a hope of combating the end times fascists, with their ever-constricting and asphyxiating concentric circles of “ordered love”, we will need to build an unruly open-hearted movement of the Earth-loving faithful: faithful to this planet, its people, its creatures and to the possibility of a livable future for us all. Faithful to here.

"End times fascism is a darkly festive fatalism – a final refuge for those who find it easier to celebrate destruction than imagine living without supremacy. ...
This is where the tech bros merge with the TheoBros, a real group of hyper-patriarchal Christian supremacists with ties to Hegseth and others in the Trump administration."
"You don’t need to be a biblical literalist, or even religious, to be an end times fascist. Today, plenty of powerful secular people have embraced a vision of the future that follows a nearly identical script, one in which the world as we know it collapses under its weight and a chosen few survive and thrive in various kinds of arks, bunkers and gated 'freedom cities'."

“As Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor recently warned, if the administration can take noncitizens off the streets, render them to prison in another country, and then claim it is helpless to correct the error because the person is out of reach of U.S. jurisdiction, it could do the same thing to citizens. Indeed, both President Trump and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt have proposed that very thing.”

Just saw my first profile on Orange Facebook where all the pics were AI-generated and how long now before the entire internet is just bots hitting on each other?

Pretty interesting attempt at a minimal OS designed to run literally anywhere.
> Winter is coming and Collapse OS aims to soften the blow. It is a Forth (why Forth?) operating system and a collection of tools and documentation with a single purpose: preserve the ability to program microcontrollers through civilizational collapse.
