Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor raise a chilling question: what happens when billionaires, artificial intelligence, war, Gaza, the climate crisis and the far right converge?
Their warning about “end times fascism” deserves serious attention. Some of the world’s most powerful people appear to be preparing for catastrophe rather than preventing it — building bunkers, accumulating wealth and imagining a future where a privileged few survive while others are left behind.
The greatest danger is not artificial intelligence itself. It is who controls it and how it is used.
Ai could transform medicine, education and human knowledge. But without democratic oversight, it could also expand surveillance, warfare, propaganda and inequality.
The suffering in Gaza raises an even deeper moral question: can human beings be treated as disposable while others build a profitable future from their destruction?
We must reject that thinking.
The future must belong to all humanity, not just billionaires and powerful elites. Technology must serve people, protect life and strengthen democracy.
The ai genie may be out of the bottle. But we still have a choice: build a future of peace, compassion and equality — or allow fear, greed and dehumanization to decide our destiny.
