    If they’ll strip me of my rights then I’ll vote for fascists too just to get it over with sooner.

      The fascists will do the same but worse. Vote for the far left if you want to f*ck over the corporate stooges

        This being worse is the point. This system might be beyond saving so you need hooliganism to tear it down before it can be rebuilt.

          While I find it helpful that people hear the word “accelerationism”, because it’s a big part of what Trump presidency #2 is about, please don’t promote this nonsense.

            I’m nearly 40, recently disabled but should be able to power through the pain and work for another 10-15 years despite my state denying me healthcare (no welfare, lowest healthcare expenditure around, current government continues to cut costs). If fascists come now I can live through it. If liberals delay fascists then they will rule while I am most vulnerable. My only hope is that the sooner capitalism destroys the world, the sooner we’ll have a more humane system, otherwise I’m toast. My survival is not nonsense to me.

              History rhymes sometimes, sure. But consciously helping send humanity into a darker age even though the arrival of said darker age is absolutely not a predetermined thing seems like a terrible idea. “We need to do something bad now, because there are 80-year cycles for bad things and 80 years since WWII is over” is just a sorry, bullshit excuse.

                This same society votes for people who deny me healthcare, why would I care about them when my life is at stake? This is pure survival. I hope you don’t have to make this kind of choices but that’s just real life.
