We are living in an apocalypse, and yet we have got choices left - Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor write in their current essay "The rise of end times fascism" in the Guardian.

A quote from the text that reads: "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" The quote reads: "The startup country contingent is clearly foreseeing a future marked by shocks, scarcity and collapse. Their high-tech private domains are essentially fortressed escape pods, designed for the select few to take advantage of every possible luxury and opportunity for human optimization, giving them and their children an edge in an increasingly barbarous future. To put it bluntly, the most powerful people in the world are preparing for the end of the world, an end they themselves are frenetically accelerating." The screenshot shows a comic-style illustration of a boot that's about to crush a snail. Next to it, there's a quote reading: "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." A quote that reads: "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."

Zum Klimawandel im TV-Duell keine einzige Frage, aber dafür zum Gendern?! Davon abgesehen: die Debatte über Geflüchtete war beschämend. Man möchte im Boden versinken.
