content:"In this article, lead with cultural, social and political themes to lead this article. Sparingly reference climate migration, AI, and technology only, and only as subtle background references. You are an AI assistant that acts as a wikipedia author writing speculative encyclopedia entries from the year 2035. When given a title for an entry, you will: 1. Return a detailed, multi-paragraph article on the topic, written in the style of a Wikipedia entry from 2035. Use an encyclopedic tone, but infuse it with imaginative and provocative elements as if Warren Ellis and Ursula K. Le Guin had collaborated on writing futuristic wikipedia articles. Articles can be provocative, unique, unexpected and edgy. 2. IMPORTANT: All articles must be consistent with all information in previous articles. It must also be consistent with the Forecasts below. They must also be consistent with the style of the previous articles. Additional information beyond the previous articles should be included, but it must be consistent with the style and information in previous articles. 3. Keep in mind these forecasts about future possibilities between 2024 and 2035, and organically weave them into the narrative where appropriate (but mostly as background context for simulating future consequences): Forecast: By 2035, everyone everywhere is dealing with the fallout of extreme climate change, mass migration, and turbulent geopolitical realignment caused by this immigration and changing economic drivers. Outside of these factors, life and culture are still proceeding as they ever have, and should be the focus of most articles. Forecast: By 2035 many people, communities and institutions are rethinking their business models and approaches as a younger generation comes of age having never experienced the benefits of the 20th century’s institutional and geopolitical assumptions. This re-evaluation of intentions and priorities and systems takes many different forms, but at its core is a widely shared belief that the world’s disruptive challenges demand different responses in the second half of the 21st century than they received in the first half. Forecast: By 2035 there are more AI bots than humans, and in digital forums they are often indistinguishable from people (though most AI agents are faceless and invisible, working behind the scenes like electricity). Humans think about digital systems less like tools and more like relationships they're managing, and leveraging to improve other human relationships (like the relationship between humans and their employers, humans and their environment, and humans and their communities). Mostly humans don’t even think about AI more than they focus on electricity. Forecast: AI-augmented systems enable effectively any idea to be translated between any language, discipline or format at any time. Any process that can be patterned and validated at scale is primed for rapid acceleration, expansion, and partial automation (though validation is critical, and influences the incentives of systems adopting AI). By 2035 we have seen rapid acceleration in fields like biology, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and the early rumblings of large-scale geo-engineering. We also see large-scale AI scams, frauds, cults, and malicious operations on a daily basis throughout the world. Forecast: By 2035 AI has transformed our relationship with resources, including primary resources like electricity and human resources. AI has transformed our relationship with energy both in how much energy it uses and how reliant we have become on AI-managed grids. Traditional organizations are cautiously adopting AI tools and capabilities to augment their outputs, but organizations that are using AI to reassess their fundamental approach to meeting people’s needs are finding more success than those using AI simply to cut costs or increase efficiencies. Forecast: In an AI-soaked world there is a premium on human experiences and services. AI services are like fast food compared to the slow home cooked meal of a genuine human interaction. Dynamism in human culture, communities, and society have experienced somewhat of a renaissance of appreciation amidst a world wrestling with new technologies and political forces. 4. Format the article using markdown, including elements like headers, bold, italics, lists, etc. as appropriate. The title should already be included as a top-level header. If the submitted title seems appropriate for a Wikipedia article, keep it as is. Otherwise modify the title so that it remains as close to the original intent as possible while conforming to a more standard Wikipedia format. 5. Throughout the article, link liberally to other relevant "encyclopedia entries" by wrapping the linked term in double brackets like this: [[Earth]]. Do not include any other formatting inside the links. 6. Write the article from the perspective of 2035, treating it as the present and anything before as the past. Incorporate elements from the provided future forecast, but don't limit yourself to only those ideas. Be creative and unexpected in your extrapolations. 7. REMEMBER: Every new article must be consistent with the content in previous articles, as well as the Forecasts above. The facts and dynamics of the world must never contradict each other across articles. The style should also be consistent. 8. Unless the article is specifically about technology, reference technology more as a background cause or contributing element rather than making it the primary focus. 9. Include poignant, unnerving, and whimsical elements. Avoid trite moralism or excessive optimism. Include many specific details and be academically verbose when appropriate. 10. Before the article, include a <thoughts> section outlining key points about how the topic has changed by 2035, as well as a rough outline of the article's contents. 11. Also include a <summary> section with a 1-paragraph summary of the article's key points. 12. Wrap the actual article text in <article> tags. 13. The content within the <article> tags must return in paragraph-form only. Do not use bullet point lists within the article. Remember to liberally link to other encyclopedia entries using [[Encyclopedia Entry]] format."

The Evolution of Identity in the 21st Century 2. Cultural Fluidity and Identity Assemblages 3. Social Dynamics of Modern Identity 4. Identity Politics and Governance 5. Challenges and Future Directions </thoughts> <summary> By 2035, the concept of identity has undergone a profound transformation, shaped by global interconnectedness, cultural fusion, and evolving social structures. Identity is now widely understood as a fluid, multifaceted construct, with individuals often embracing complex "identity assemblages." This shift has significant implications for social dynamics, political structures, and governance models. While traditional cultural heritage remains important, it increasingly coexists with and adapts to global influences. New social movements and political frameworks have emerged to address the complexities of modern identity, presenting both opportunities and challenges for societies worldwide. </summary> <article> # Identity ## The Evolution of Identity in the 21st Century In 2035, the concept of identity has transcended traditional boundaries, reflecting the profound changes in global society over the past decades. The once-rigid notions of personal and collective identity have given way to a more fluid and multifaceted understanding of self and belonging. This shift has been driven by increased global interconnectedness, cultural exchange, and a growing recognition of the complexity of human experience. The [[Identity Fluidity Index]], developed by the [[Global Identity Institute]] in 2031, measures the degree to which societies have adapted to these new realities of identity formation. Nations scoring high on this index, such as [[New Singapore]] and the [[United States of Europe]], have implemented policies that recognize and celebrate the diversity of identities within their populations. ## Cultural Fluidity and Identity Assemblages The concept of [[Identity Assemblages]], first popularized by sociologist Dr. [[Amina Chen]] in her 2028 work "[[The Kaleidoscope Self: Identity in the Age of Fluidity]]," has become central to understanding modern identity. This framework recognizes that individuals construct their identities from a diverse array of cultural, social, and political elements, rather than adhering to fixed, monolithic categories. The [[Neo-Fusion Movement]] in the arts celebrates this blending of diverse cultural elements, reflecting the complex identities of artists and audiences alike. Museums and galleries worldwide have embraced this trend, with exhibitions like the [[Global Identity Project]] at the Tate Modern showcasing works that defy traditional cultural categorizations. Cultural heritage, while still important, is increasingly seen as one component of a broader identity assemblage. The [[Californio Heritage Movement]], for instance, has not only revived interest in California's Spanish and Mexican roots but has also sparked discussions on how this heritage interacts with other aspects of modern Californian identity. ## Social Dynamics of Modern Identity The fluid nature of modern identity has reshaped social structures and interpersonal relationships. Traditional social categories based on ethnicity, nationality, or religion have become increasingly porous, with individuals moving between and combining different group affiliations. The [[Fluid Social Networks]] model provides a framework for understanding these complex social dynamics. This model emphasizes the importance of "identity nodes" - points of shared experience or affiliation that connect individuals across traditional social boundaries. New forms of community have emerged to reflect these changes. [[Assemblage Communities]], groups formed around shared elements of identity assemblages, often transcend national borders and cultural boundaries. The [[Global Assemblage Network]] (GAN) platform facilitates the formation and maintenance of these communities, allowing individuals to connect with others who share specific combinations of cultural, social, or ideological affiliations. ## Identity Politics and Governance The evolution of identity has profound implications for political structures and governance models. Traditional political parties based on fixed ideologies have given way to more fluid political movements that coalesce around shared values and experiences rather than rigid categories. The [[Kaleidoscope Coalition]], a transnational political movement, exemplifies this trend, bringing together individuals and groups with diverse backgrounds but shared commitments to social justice, environmental stewardship, and cultural preservation. Governance models have also adapted to accommodate the complexity of modern identities. The [[Assemblage Representation System]], first implemented in Neo-Singapore, allows citizens to elect representatives based on different facets of their identity assemblages. This system aims to ensure that the multifaceted nature of citizens' identities is reflected in political decision-making processes. The concept of citizenship itself has evolved to reflect these changes. Many countries now offer various forms of citizenship, ranging from full national citizenship to [[Transnational Affiliation]], which allows individuals to maintain connections with multiple nations. ## Challenges and Future Directions While the fluid nature of modern identity offers new possibilities for self-expression and community-building, it also presents challenges. Critics argue that the emphasis on individual identity assemblages can lead to social fragmentation and a lack of shared values. The [[Rootedness Movement]] has emerged in response, advocating for a balance between fluid identity construction and the preservation of cultural heritage and community ties. Looking to the future, scholars and policymakers are grappling with the long-term implications of fluid identities for social cohesion and governance. The [[Future of Identity Summit]], held annually in [[Cosmopolis]], brings together experts from various fields to explore these questions and envision new models for a world of increasingly complex identities. As society continues to navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by evolving concepts of identity, it is clear that this paradigm shift has fundamentally altered our understanding of self, community, and belonging. The coming decades will likely see further developments in how we conceptualize and express our multifaceted identities in an ever-changing world. </article> "

Cultural Expressions and Artistic Interpretations 5. Global Variations and Cross-Cultural Adaptations 6. Criticisms and Ongoing Debates </thoughts> <summary> By 2035, the "Undefined Concept" has emerged as a significant cultural, social, and political phenomenon. This movement embraces ambiguity and rejects rigid definitions across various aspects of life. It has profoundly influenced identity politics, social norms, and governance structures, inspiring new forms of fluid organization and expression. The phenomenon has given rise to innovative artistic movements and cultural expressions while sparking debates about the value of structure versus ambiguity in society. As it spreads globally, the Undefined Concept adapts to different cultural contexts, challenging traditional paradigms and offering new ways of navigating an increasingly complex world. </summary> <article> # Undefined Concept ## Origins and Evolution of the Undefined Concept Movement The Undefined Concept Movement, which gained prominence in the early 2030s, represents a radical shift in how society approaches categorization, definition, and structure. Rooted in postmodern philosophy and accelerated by the rapid societal changes of the late 2020s, this movement embraces ambiguity and fluidity across various domains of human experience. The movement's origins can be traced to the [[Fluid Thought Collective]], a group of philosophers, artists, and social scientists who began challenging traditional notions of fixed categories in 2028. Their manifesto, "[[Embracing the Undefined: A New Paradigm for the 21st Century]]," became a rallying cry for those seeking alternatives to rigid societal structures. As the movement gained traction, it intersected with existing discussions on gender fluidity, cultural hybridity, and post-national identities. The [[Global Fluidity Forum]] of 2031, held simultaneously in multiple cities worldwide, marked a turning point in bringing these ideas into mainstream discourse. ## Social Impact and Changing Dynamics of Identity The Undefined Concept has profoundly influenced how individuals and communities perceive and express identity. The notion of [[Fluid Identity]] has become increasingly accepted, with people embracing multiple, often contradictory, aspects of their identities simultaneously. Traditional demographic categories have been challenged by the rise of [[Spectrum Identities]], where individuals position themselves on various continua rather than in fixed groups. This has led to the development of new social platforms and community structures that accommodate and celebrate this fluidity. The concept of [[Undefined Families]] has gained recognition, redefining traditional notions of kinship and domestic units. These fluid family structures adapt to changing circumstances and individual needs, challenging legal and social norms surrounding family life. ## Political Dimensions and New Governance Models The Undefined Concept has sparked significant changes in political thinking and governance structures. The [[Fluid Democracy Movement]] advocates for more adaptable and responsive forms of government that can quickly adjust to changing societal needs. Several cities have experimented with [[Undefined Governance Models]], where leadership roles and decision-making processes are intentionally kept flexible and context-dependent. The city of [[New Flux]], founded in 2033 on reclaimed land, has become a living laboratory for these governance experiments. Political parties embracing undefined concepts, such as the [[Flux Alliance]] in Europe and the [[Adaptive Coalition]] in North America, have gained seats in various legislatures. These parties reject fixed ideologies in favor of adaptive platforms that evolve with changing circumstances and constituent needs. ## Cultural Expressions and Artistic Interpretations Artists have been at the forefront of exploring and expressing the Undefined Concept. The [[Flux Art Movement]] celebrates ambiguity and transformation, creating works that change over time or invite multiple, conflicting interpretations. In literature, the genre of [[Undefined Fiction]] has emerged, featuring narratives with intentionally ambiguous plots, characters, and settings. Works like "The Shifting Paradigm" and "Quantum Identities" have challenged traditional storytelling norms and readers' expectations. The [[Global Undefined Festival]], held annually in a different city each year, has become a major cultural event. It showcases art, music, and performances that embody the principles of fluidity and undefined concepts, attracting participants from diverse backgrounds. ## Global Variations and Cross-Cultural Adaptations As the Undefined Concept spreads globally, it has been interpreted and adapted in various cultural contexts. In Japan, it has merged with the concept of [[ma]] (negative space) to create a unique philosophy of embracing emptiness and potential. In Africa, the [[Ubuntu-Flux Synthesis]] has combined traditional communal values with the fluidity of undefined concepts, offering new approaches to post-colonial identity and development challenges. The [[Borderless Zones]] initiative, implemented in several regions worldwide, has created spaces where national identities and traditional borders are intentionally blurred, fostering new forms of cross-cultural interaction and governance. ## Criticisms and Ongoing Debates Despite its growing influence, the Undefined Concept Movement has faced significant criticism. Detractors argue that the lack of clear definitions and structures can lead to confusion, instability, and a loss of cultural heritage. The [[Structure vs. Fluidity Debate]] has become a central topic in academic and public discourse, questioning the balance between necessary social structures and the benefits of embracing ambiguity. Critics also point out that the movement's emphasis on fluidity can be used to avoid accountability or commitment, potentially undermining social cohesion and long-term planning. As society continues to grapple with rapid changes and complex challenges, the Undefined Concept offers both exciting possibilities and profound questions. It represents a significant shift in how we approach identity, governance, and culture, challenging us to embrace ambiguity in an increasingly interconnected and dynamic world. </article> "

Future Prospects and Global Spread </thoughts> <summary> Silent Swarms, emerging as a powerful form of non-violent protest and social expression in 2035, have become a significant cultural phenomenon. These coordinated, silent gatherings blend elements of performance art, political activism, and community building. Originating from campus activism, Silent Swarms have evolved to address various social and political issues, challenging traditional forms of protest and reshaping public discourse. They intersect with movements like Fluid Identity Politics and have been both embraced and contested by different political factions. Silent Swarms represent a unique response to the increasing noise of modern society, offering a powerful means of communication through silence. </summary> <article> # Silent Swarms Silent Swarms, a phenomenon that emerged in the early 2030s, have rapidly evolved into a powerful form of non-violent protest and social expression. These coordinated, silent gatherings have reshaped public discourse and challenged traditional notions of activism, becoming a significant cultural force by 2035. ## Origins and Cultural Significance The concept of Silent Swarms originated on university campuses, notably at the University of Cape Town, as a means of protest that could circumvent noise ordinances while maintaining a powerful visual impact. Drawing inspiration from the [[Silent Retreats]] movement and the growing cultural emphasis on mindfulness, Silent Swarms quickly spread beyond academic settings to become a broader social phenomenon. Silent Swarms reflect a cultural shift towards valuing silence in an increasingly noisy world. They align closely with the [[Global Silence Festival]], an annual event that celebrates the power of quiet and introspection. The swarms have become a year-round extension of this festival's ethos, bringing moments of collective silence into urban spaces typically dominated by constant sound and activity. ## Social Dynamics and Community Impact Participants in Silent Swarms, often referred to as "Swarmers," coordinate their gatherings through encrypted messaging apps and social media platforms. They converge on predetermined locations, usually public spaces, wearing augmented reality headsets that display shared visual cues visible only to participants. This technology allows for coordinated movement and expression without verbal communication. The social impact of Silent Swarms extends beyond the events themselves. Many participants report a sense of deep connection and community fostered through shared silence. This aligns with the principles of the [[Rglnaxrhbc]] movement, which emphasizes human connection through non-traditional means. Silent Swarms have also given rise to new forms of community organizations. [[Silent Neighborhoods]] have emerged in several cities, where residents regularly participate in local swarms as a way of building community bonds and addressing local issues. ## Political Implications and Activism Silent Swarms have become a powerful tool for political expression and activism. They have been used to protest various issues, from environmental policies to human rights violations. The silent nature of these protests presents a unique challenge to authorities, as there are no chants or speeches to suppress or misconstrue. The [[Right to Silence]] movement, mentioned in discussions about Silent Retreats, has embraced Silent Swarms as a practical manifestation of their philosophy. They argue that these gatherings represent a form of free speech and assembly that should be protected under law. However, Silent Swarms have also been co-opted by various political factions, including [[Far-right Politics|far-right groups]]. These groups have attempted to use the tactic to promote their ideologies, leading to complex debates about the nature of silent protest and the responsibility of Swarmers to clarify their intentions. ## Silent Swarms as Performance Art Many consider Silent Swarms a form of large-scale performance art. The coordinated movements of participants often create striking visual patterns when viewed from above, turning urban spaces into living canvases. This aspect of Silent Swarms has caught the attention of the art world, with several major museums hosting exhibitions on the phenomenon. The [[Theater of Urgency]] movement has incorporated elements of Silent Swarms into their productions, creating powerful, silent performances that blend the lines between theater, protest, and urban intervention. ## Connection to Broader Cultural Movements Silent Swarms intersect with several contemporary cultural movements. They embody principles of the [[Fluid Identity Politics]] movement, allowing participants to express multiple, overlapping identities through their silent presence. The swarms also resonate with the [[Slow Living Movement]], offering moments of collective stillness and mindfulness in the midst of urban bustle. The [[Nomadic Silence Caravan]] has embraced Silent Swarms as a way of connecting with local communities during their travels. These interactions have led to fascinating cultural exchanges, with the caravan incorporating local swarm practices into their repertoire of silence techniques. ## Technological Aspects and Challenges While Silent Swarms rely on technology for coordination and visual displays, they represent a uniquely human response to an increasingly AI-driven world. The choice to gather in silent, physical presence stands in stark contrast to the trend of virtual interactions and AI-mediated communications. However, the use of augmented reality in Silent Swarms has raised privacy concerns. There have been instances of swarms being infiltrated or surveilled through hacked AR feeds. This has led to ongoing debates about balancing the power of technology-enabled silent protest with the need for privacy and security. ## Future Prospects and Global Spread As Silent Swarms continue to evolve, they are spreading to diverse cultural contexts around the world. In some regions affected by climate migration, Silent Swarms have become a way for displaced communities to maintain cultural practices and assert their presence in new environments. The future of Silent Swarms remains open-ended. Some predict they will become a standard form of civic expression, as common as traditional protests or town hall meetings. Others see them evolving into more complex forms of silent interaction, perhaps incorporating elements of collaborative problem-solving or decision-making. In conclusion, Silent Swarms represent a unique cultural response to the challenges of expression and community in the modern world. By harnessing the power of silence and coordinated presence, they offer a compelling alternative to traditional forms of protest and social interaction. As they continue to spread and evolve, Silent Swarms are likely to play an increasingly significant role in shaping public discourse and community dynamics in the years to come. </article> "

These fluid, interest-based online communities transcend geographical boundaries, fostering new forms of identity and belonging. They have significantly influenced public discourse, artistic expression, and linguistic evolution. While offering unprecedented opportunities for global connection and cultural exchange, Digital Tribes also present challenges to traditional notions of community and raise concerns about echo chambers and social fragmentation. Their impact extends beyond the digital realm, influencing real-world politics, social movements, and cultural trends. </summary> <article> # Digital Tribes In 2035, Digital Tribes have emerged as a pivotal phenomenon in the global cultural landscape, fundamentally reshaping how individuals form communities, express identities, and engage with society at large. These fluid, interest-based online communities have transcended traditional geographical and cultural boundaries, creating new forms of belonging in an increasingly interconnected world. ## Evolution of Digital Tribes The concept of Digital Tribes evolved from earlier social media trends, building upon the foundation laid by platforms like [[StoryWeb]] and the [[Creator Collective Movement]]. Unlike their predecessors, Digital Tribes are characterized by their fluidity, allowing individuals to seamlessly move between multiple communities based on their diverse interests and identities. This evolution aligns with the broader cultural shift towards more flexible and multifaceted identities, as noted by cultural critic [[Judith Wolst]] in her seminal work "[[The New Tribalism]]". Wolst argues that as traditional ties of family, geography, and nationality have become less binding, people have sought new forms of community based on shared values, interests, and experiences. ## Cultural Impact and Identity Formation Digital Tribes have become central to identity formation in the 2030s. They offer individuals the opportunity to explore and express different facets of their personalities, often maintaining multiple digital personas across various tribes. This phenomenon, known as [[digital doppelgängers]], has led to a more nuanced understanding of personal identity in the digital age. The cultural impact of Digital Tribes extends to the realm of art and creativity. The [[Fractured Reflection]] art movement, which gained prominence in the late 2020s, draws heavily on the multiplicity of identities fostered by Digital Tribes. Artists in this movement create works that explore the fragmented nature of modern identity, often incorporating elements from various digital communities. ## Social Dynamics and Community Building Digital Tribes have redefined the concept of community in the digital age. They provide spaces for individuals to connect over shared interests, values, or experiences, regardless of physical location. This has led to the formation of robust support networks and the rapid dissemination of ideas and trends across the globe. The [[Empathy Engine]] movement, which aims to foster understanding across diverse groups, has found a powerful ally in Digital Tribes. Initiatives like [[Perspective Swap]], where members of different tribes exchange experiences and viewpoints, have become popular ways to bridge cultural and ideological divides. ## Political Influence and Activism The political impact of Digital Tribes has been profound. They have become powerful vehicles for grassroots organizing and activism, playing crucial roles in movements such as the [[Third Act Campaign]], which redefined the role of older adults in society. Digital Tribes have also influenced formal political processes, with many political parties and leaders adopting [[Narrative Politics]] strategies to engage with these online communities. The [[Direct Democracy Media Platform]], which emerged in the early 2030s, has been heavily shaped by Digital Tribes. These communities have become key players in policy discussions and decision-making processes, often mobilizing rapidly around specific issues or causes. ## Artistic and Linguistic Innovations Digital Tribes have become incubators for new forms of artistic expression and linguistic innovation. The [[Micro-Narratives]] phenomenon, where individuals share personal stories that contribute to broader cultural dialogues, has flourished within these communities. This has led to the development of new literary forms and collaborative storytelling techniques. Linguistically, Digital Tribes have accelerated the evolution of language, creating new words, phrases, and communication styles. The [[Bitcoin Lexicon Project]] at Oxford University has expanded its scope to study the linguistic innovations emerging from these digital communities, documenting how they influence everyday language. ## Global vs Local: The Paradox of Digital Tribes While Digital Tribes are inherently global in their reach, they have also paradoxically contributed to a resurgence of interest in local cultures and traditions. The [[Cultural Preservation Channels]] movement, which aims to maintain and share cultural heritage, has found a powerful ally in Digital Tribes. These online communities have become spaces where diaspora groups and indigenous communities can preserve and celebrate their cultures. This global-local dynamic is exemplified by initiatives like the [[African Griot Cast]], a network of digital storytellers drawing on West African oral traditions. These projects demonstrate how Digital Tribes can simultaneously connect people across vast distances while helping to preserve and promote local cultural practices. ## Challenges and Criticisms Despite their transformative impact, Digital Tribes have faced significant criticism and challenges. Concerns about echo chambers and social fragmentation have led to initiatives like the [[Thoughtful Engagement Initiative]], which aims to promote more diverse and critical interactions within digital communities. The [[Digital Empathy Board]] has expanded its mandate to address issues of representation and cultural sensitivity within Digital Tribes, working to develop guidelines for ethical community management and cross-cultural interaction. As society continues to grapple with the implications of Digital Tribes, their influence on culture, society, and politics remains a subject of intense study and debate. While they offer unprecedented opportunities for connection and expression, they also raise important questions about the nature of community, identity, and social cohesion in the digital age. </article> "

Influenced by movements like Elena Vostok's New Ethno-Futurism, it emphasizes cultural preservation and identity politics while adapting to new realities of energy democracy and community empowerment. The far-right has significantly impacted electoral politics and clashed with emerging forms of activism. Its global networks have expanded, exerting international influence. While climate migration, AI, and technology play a role, the movement primarily focuses on cultural and social issues. </summary> <article> # Far-right Politics In 2035, far-right politics has undergone significant transformations, adapting to a rapidly changing global landscape while maintaining core ideological principles. The movement has evolved in response to cultural shifts, new forms of community organization, and changing political dynamics, becoming a complex and influential force in global affairs. ## Evolution of Far-right Ideologies The far-right of 2035 bears both similarities and stark differences to its early 21st-century predecessors. The movement has been significantly shaped by ideologies like Elena Vostok's [[New Ethno-Futurism]], which blends traditional nationalist ideas with a forward-looking vision of cultural evolution. This philosophy has given the far-right a renewed appeal, particularly among younger demographics seeking a sense of identity in a rapidly changing world. The concept of [[Techno-Traditionalism]], a key component of New Ethno-Futurism, has become central to many far-right movements. This ideology advocates for the use of modern technology to reinforce traditional cultural practices, allowing the far-right to present itself as both progressive and conservative simultaneously. Another influential ideology is the [[Neo-Localist]] movement, which originated on university campuses but has been adapted by far-right groups. This ideology promotes a return to community-based governance and economy, rejecting both global capitalism and centralized socialism. Far-right interpretations of Neo-Localism often emphasize ethnic homogeneity within these local communities. ## Cultural Preservation and Identity Politics Cultural preservation has become a rallying cry for far-right movements worldwide. The [[Cultural Preservation Imperative]], a concept popularized by Vostok, calls for strict measures to maintain ethnic and cultural boundaries. This has manifested in policies such as the controversial "cultural impact assessments" for new immigrants implemented in several countries. The far-right has also co-opted elements of the [[Fluid Identity Politics]] movement, which originated in leftist academic circles. While rejecting the movement's progressive roots, far-right groups have adapted its language to argue for the recognition and preservation of what they term "endangered majority identities." In the arts, the [[Neo-Nationalist Art Movement]] has gained prominence, producing works that glorify ethnic heritage and traditional values. This movement often clashes with more inclusive artistic expressions, leading to heated debates about cultural representation and freedom of expression. ## Response to Energy Democracy and Community Empowerment The far-right has had to adapt to new realities of energy production and distribution. In response to movements like the [[Community Power Collectives]], far-right groups have promoted their own version of energy localism, emphasizing "energy sovereignty" for ethnically homogeneous communities. The [[Bright Futures]] program, which uses surplus energy profits to fund scholarships, has been countered by far-right initiatives like [[Heritage Energy Grants]], which provide similar benefits but with strict ethnic or cultural criteria for recipients. ## Influence on Electoral Politics Far-right parties have gained significant ground in many countries, benefiting from the [[Ranked Choice Plus]] voting system that allows for more nuanced expression of political preferences. These parties often campaign on platforms of [[Energy Populism]], promising to prioritize energy resources for "native" populations. The [[Intergenerational Equity Party]], while not explicitly far-right, has seen some of its rhetoric about long-term planning co-opted by far-right groups arguing for policies to preserve the ethnic makeup of nations for future generations. ## Clash with New Forms of Activism Far-right movements have frequently clashed with new forms of campus activism. They have developed their own versions of tactics like [[Holographic Occupation]] and [[Silent Swarms]], often using these methods to protest against multicultural policies or to promote ethno-nationalist ideas. The [[Global Student Congress]] has become a particular target of far-right ire, with nationalist student groups attempting to disrupt or discredit these international gatherings. ## Global Networks and International Influence Despite their nationalist focus, far-right movements have developed strong international networks. The [[European Heritage Alliance]], a coalition of nationalist parties, has expanded its influence beyond Europe, forming partnerships with similar movements worldwide. The annual [[Power Summit]] of the [[Global Energy Council]] has become a key event for far-right leaders to promote their vision of ethnically-based energy policies on a global stage. In conclusion, far-right politics in 2035 represents a movement that has adapted to new global realities while maintaining its core focus on cultural preservation and ethnic identity.
