Yeah I'm pretty sure self-destruction is a running theme amongst reactionaries. The only question is who will suffer least. Def not the bootlickers I can tell that for sure.
@danishcookies To be fair (NO, WAIT, I HAVE A POINT), accelerationism isn't unique to reactionaries. There are some anarchist schools of thought (which I think are dumb) that believe that an anarchist/leftist revolution can be brought about quicker through making things worse on purpose. This is that, but in the other direction.
@Anarkat
Yeah it is not uncommon for some leftist school of thoughts. Tho I'm not sure if reactionaries actually buy into this crap or they just put up excuses to cover up the inevitable they already know.
@danishcookies I think it's more like "boiling the frog" except while simultaneously trying to convince the frog that being boiled is actually a preferable condition.
@danishcookies Well, they're working full speed to bring on the nightmare either way, but the fascists also have a massive propaganda machine on their side working 24/7 to convince everyone that everything isn't as bad as it looks/things are actually supposed to be on fire, that's normal, quit complaining.
@Anarkat
So it's less like accelerationism and more like easing in the nightmare they're gonna bring?
