VPRO #Tegenlicht – De bizarre alliantie van technologie, fascisme en geloof | Astra Taylor (TV internet)
Door de VPRO wordt het programma bestempeld als documentaire op het vlak van politiek, economie, sociologie en wetenschap. Het programma stelt zich ten doel inzicht in de werking van de samenleving te verschaffen.
Eindtijdfascisme, de door Astra Taylor en Naomi Klein geduide alliantie tussen technologie, fascisme en geloof. Het is een ideologie waarin dit bonte gezelschap een fundamenteel uitgangspunt deelt: deze wereld is niet meer te redden, en maar een bepaald type mens mag en kan de teloorgang van onze wereld overleven.

Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances / Dag voor de Slachtoffers van Gedwongen Verdwijningen 2026
On 21 December 2010, by its resolution 65/209 the UN General Assembly expressed its deep concern about the increase in enforced or involuntary disappearances in various regions of the world, including arrest, detention and abduction, when these are part of or amount to enforced disappearances, and by the growing number of reports concerning harassment, ill-treatment and intimidation of witnesses of disappearances or relatives of persons who have disappeared.
By the same resolution the Assembly welcomed the adoption of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, and decided to declare 30 August the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, to be observed beginning in 2011. According to the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, proclaimed by the General Assembly in its resolution 47/133 of 18 December 1992 as a body of principles for all States, an enforced disappearance occurs when:
“persons are arrested, detained or abducted against their will or otherwise deprived of their liberty by officials of different branches or levels of Government, or by organized groups or private individuals acting on behalf of, or with the support, direct or indirect, consent or acquiescence of the Government, followed by a refusal to disclose the fate or whereabouts of the persons concerned or a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of their liberty, which places such persons outside the protection of the law.”
2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearances, the only universal treaty specifically dedicated to preventing and eradicating enforced disappearances. Under the slogan “Victims first. Actions now” , the anniversary puts victims and their rights to truth, justice and reparation at the centre, while calling on States and other stakeholders to act to prevent enforced disappearances. Twenty years after the Convention’s adoption, enforced disappearances continue to occur in every region, making universal ratification and full implementation an urgent priority. Throughout 2026, CED20 will bring together States, victims, civil society, national human rights institutions, UN entities and partners to raise awareness, share concrete actions and strengthen protections. Enforced disappearance has frequently been used as a strategy to spread terror within the society. The feeling of insecurity generated by this practice is not limited to the close relatives of the disappeared, but also affects their communities and society as a whole. Enforced disappearance has become a global problem and is not restricted to a specific region of the world. Once largely the product of military dictatorships, enforced disappearances can nowadays be perpetrated in complex situations of internal conflict, especially as a means of political repression of opponents. Of particular concern are:
- the ongoing harassment of human rights defenders, relatives of victims, witnesses and legal counsel dealing with cases of enforced disappearance;
- the use by States of counter-terrorist activities as an excuse for breaching their obligations;
- and the still widespread impunity for enforced disappearance.
Special attention must also be paid to specific groups of especially vulnerable people, like children and people with disabilities. Hundreds of thousands of people have vanished during conflicts or periods of repression in at least 85 countries around the world.

Day Against Nuclear Tests / Dag tegen Kernproeven 2026
The International Day against Nuclear Tests, together with other events and actions, has fostered a global environment that strongly advocates for a world free of nuclear weapons.
Since nuclear weapons testing began on 16 July 1945, nearly 2,000 have taken place. In the early days of nuclear testing little consideration was given to its devastating effects on human life, let alone the dangers of nuclear fallout from atmospheric tests. Hindsight and history have shown us the terrifying and tragic effects of nuclear weapons testing, especially when controlled conditions go awry, and in light of the far more powerful and destructive nuclear weapons that exist today. On 2 December 2009, the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly declared 29 August the International Day against Nuclear Tests by unanimously adopting resolution 64/35. The resolution calls for increasing awareness and education “about the effects of nuclear weapon test explosions or any other nuclear explosions and the need for their cessation as one of the means of achieving the goal of a nuclear-weapon-
2010 marked the inaugural commemoration of the International Day against Nuclear Tests. In each subsequent year, the day has been observed by coordinating various activities throughout the world, such as symposia, conferences, exhibits, competitions, publications, lectures, media broadcasts and other initiatives. Since its establishment, many bilateral and multilateral governmental level developments as well as broad movements in civil society have helped to advance the cause of banning nuclear tests. Moreover, “convinced that nuclear disarmament and the total elimination of nuclear weapons are the only absolute guarantee against the use or threat of nuclear weapons,” the General Assembly designated 26 September as the “Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons“, which is devoted to furthering the objective of the total elimination of nuclear weapons, through the mobilization of international efforts.
The International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons was observed for the first time in September 2014. The international instrument to put an end to all forms of nuclear testing is the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ba

World Day for the End of Speciesism 2026
August 29, 2026 was the 12th World Day for the End of Speciesism.
Once again, numerous animal advocacy groups around the world organized demonstrations to denounce speciesist discrimination. The World Day promotes five central demands to bring about an animal-inclusive society, including abolishing the property status of animals and shutting down slaughterhouses. Speciesism is an ideology that considers the lives and interests of animals as not worthy of respect simply because they belong to another species. The notion of speciesism can be understood by analogy with racism or sexism; speciesism tends to place animals outside the range of moral consideration. Anti-speciesism is simply the rejection of the use of the species of a sentient being as an argument for disregarding its interests and its life.
XR blokkeert opnieuw A12 op 29 augustus, negeert ‘verbod’ en eist politieke verantwoordelijkheid voor dodelijke klimaatrampen
In reactie op de klimaatrampen in de afgelopen zomermaanden blokkeert Extinction Rebellion (XR) opnieuw de A12 in Den Haag op 29 augustus 2026, om 13:00.
De actiegroep wil dat er politieke verantwoordelijkheid wordt genomen voor de honderden hittedoden en onomkeerbare schade aan de natuur, die deze zomer door catastrofale droogte en hitte zijn aangericht. De Tweede Kamer, die op 1 september terugkomt van reces, moet met spoed ingrijpende maatregelen nemen om nóg ergere klimaatrampen te voorkomen, waaronder het afschaffen van alle fossiele subsidies en het grondig hervormen van de hele Nederlandse economie, die op dit moment te afhankelijk is van fossiel. Bovendien doen de activisten een beroep op de rest van de samenleving. De klimaatbeweging vraagt burgers om in elk geval naar de grotere A12-blokkade op 19 september 2026 te komen, maar ook om daarbuiten zo veel mogelijk druk op de politiek en de fossiele industrie te zetten, bijvoorbeeld door mee te doen aan klimaatdemonstraties.
