In Hinduism, Kali Yuga is the fourth and worst yuga in a Yuga Cycle, a cyclical age of humankind tied to Hindu cosmology that claims there are four repeating ages, with each full yuga cycle equating to 4.3 million years. According to Hinduism, we are currently in Kali Yuga, often described as a "dark age" full of sin and corruption. It is commonly believed that Kali Yuga will end in the year 428,899 CE, but some disagree. Around 2015, the idea of Kali Yuga was adopted by far-right extremists, including the French Dissent, a far-right political party that popularized the phrase "surf the Kali Yuga" on t-shirts, later sold by the far-right podcast "The Right Stuff." "Surf the Kali Yuga" essentially means embracing being the bad guy and riding the wave of the dark age and what it might bring.
