November Book Club: "End Times Fascism"

Welcome to Meet the Moment Book Club, where we read books that meet the moment and make sense of it all together. Please see our [group page](https://www.meetup.com/meet-the-moment-book-club/) for a list of upcoming books. *Nerd Reich* last month delved into tech fascism, and now we deepen our understanding of fascism -- the alliance between the religious right, Big Tech, and immigrant-hating nationalism, via the just-released *End Times Fascism*, the latest by bestselling authors Naomi Klein & Astra Taylor. Knowing vaguely that fascism is on the rise, I've found, is very different from delving into the details. As unpalatable as it may be to read about fascism (though it's very well-written), I do think it's important for understanding the times we're in and the system we're a part of -- how it affects our lives, and how best to prepare. It's a book you're going to want to discuss, so join us. \*\*\* "A blistering expose of the new far-right apocalyptic alliance that's on the move around the globe - and how we resist. The far right is on the march again - but this time it's different. A new, apocalyptic alliance of religious fundamentalists, billionaire Silicon Valley tech kings and ethno-nationalists is on the move. They're united in their belief that some kind of cleansing cataclysm is coming, and they welcome a future of shocks, scarcity and collapse, convinced they'll be among the saved on the other side. In this blistering reckoning with our age, Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor take us deep into this man-made Armageddon complex - and show us how to resist it. Around the globe, they investigate how those who are making our world unliveable are preparing to protect themselves from the fallout, whether it's by repairing to luxurious private islands, or bunkering nations against a dehumanized 'other'. If we're to meet this critical moment and defend what's left of democracy before it's smashed up beyond repair, Klein and Taylor argue, we must break the doom loop, and tell a story not of end times - but of better times." https://www.penguin.com.au/books/end-times-fascism-9780241848395 'This urgent and essential book explains why we should be extremely frightened of, and extremely angry about, the man-made wreckage of the present. It is an indictment of those that engineer and profit from this apocalyptic moment. But it also a vital rallying call for a new universalism, a humane and inspiring project which might ensure our collective emergence from this crisis' Max Porter > [A] bold, clarifying intervention... Their valuable contribution is to map out the frightening new territory in which we find ourselves, and point to an escape > Daniel Trilling, Guardian > For those who since Trump’s first term have debated whether fascism is back, Klein and Taylor make a convincing argument in the affirmative... But they warn that history is not a repeating loop. Instead it spirals, taking us to places that look familiar but are changed by unpredictable new developments. Watch for yellow stars or jackboots and you’ll miss the facial-recognition databases... The value of *End Times Fascism*, as always with Klein, is in the connections it makes. She noted recently that her work is pattern recognition. The particular genius of her writing has been to combine compelling reporting with an ability to see the oblique lines linking apparently disparate trends > Anthea Lawson, Observer \*\*\* We will be meeting at The Erko Hotel. If it's sunny, we'll be outside in the back; if rainy, we'll be at the big square raised table next to the bar. We will start and end on time. There's no fee, but please purchase your own food/drinks from the venue. \*\*\* If you have trouble getting the book, message me. On reading the book: I encourage people to read the book over just interviews or summaries, because nothing beats the slow digesting of the beauty and nuances in a book. Especially for the books in this book club that challenge our worldviews and help us see the world as it truly is, these books need to be really grappled with, to be fully engaged with, to receive the full benefits. For reference, I use book clubs to motivate me to finish the books I want to read, so the date of the book club becomes a deadline to finish the book by. I calculate the number of pages in a book and the number of days I can realistically read, and work out how many pages on average I need to read each day. That's how I've finished many books. Invariably, they're worth reading to the end. Of course, life happens and we're all busy. If you really can't finish a book or can only watch videos this time, that's okay. Come by with an attitude of listening, open to being inspired, and take in what others have to say; perhaps you'll want to read/finish the book afterwards. Just know that books are like most things in life: what you put in is what you get out of it. A podcast or ChatGPT can give you the high-level points, sure, perhaps to BS your way to a decent grade in class; but we're not in school anymore, and we read these books because they better our lives and help us see more clearly. But they can only do so if we read them, because reading is what makes all the new concepts come to life enough to maybe change us. For the full magic, you just gotta read. Alright, thanks for reading my ode to reading. \*\*\* If the RSVP list is full, please join the waitlist as there will likely be fluctuations closer to the date. If you RSVP'ed and can't make it, please edit your RSVP so that others can attend. No-shows will be noted and barred from the book club. Look forward to seeing you there!

Thursday Training

We are a branch of **Tenshinshō-den Katori Shintō-ryū**, training under the **Shinbukan Dōjō in Narita, Japan**, one of Japan’s oldest classical martial traditions (*koryū bujutsu*), preserving techniques passed down for over five centuries. Our group welcomes individuals with a sincere interest in traditional martial arts and a commitment to long-term, disciplined study. Training is non-commercial — fees are minimal, the **first week is free**, and **parking is available**. Sessions are held **every Tuesday, except NSW public holidays**. To start, all you need is **comfortable clothing**, better if it is a keikogi and hakama. Equipment is provided for beginners, and guidance will be given later if you continue training seriously. Practice begins with **kenjutsu** using the *bokutō* (wooden sword) and progresses to **iaijutsu** (using a *iaitō*). Later we also study **bō** (staff) and **naginata** (glaive). After several years, practitioners may train in **nitō-ryū** (dual swords), **kodachi** (short sword), **yari** (spear), and other parts of the curriculum. Please note: the **Meetup member count does not reflect actual attendance** — our core group is small, dedicated, and focused on authentic training.
