Launching the series 'ArtEZ Press Essay Issues', this first instalment features feminist Nishant Shah, who argues that the idea of a future in crisis and future as fake pervades almost all our global and immediate dialogues. Whether it is climate change deniers, flat Earth advocates, anti-vaxxers, incels, men’s rights advocates, neo-Nazi supporters, or fascist states eroding democracy, these two aspects link them all together.
