It seems to be that a lot of systems in our society have been locked into an error state where the only solution is to destroy said system because the system can no longer self correct. That seems really arrogant and short sighted if it was done intentionally.
I'd rather seek out solutions than sit around waiting for a war that might never go hot during my lifetime. How long did it take Rome to finally collapse?
Well I can happily report that there is at least a segment of the youth that is on board with restricting the franchise more broadly and for women quite specifically. I couldn't tell you how broad that sentiment is, but it exists in large enough quantities that I've encountered it in meat space.
Also I firmly reject the limitation in choices you present. I'm of the belief that reform is in fact possible, it's just that I lack the requisite intelligence to see how to achieve it. There has to be a way, we're just not smart enough to see it.
Its why some advocate to accelerate or make civil war 2.0. Yeah.. it COULD become worse when dust settles, but currently we are just driving off the cliff at 80mph instead of 90mph via voting or passive methods. If god is on our side and we fighting for good.. it COULD be good outcome.
driving 70mph buys us more time to wrestle the steering wheel away from the lunatics in the driver's seat though. I just don't see accelerationism as anything other than naively optimistic fatalism. It's giving up and hoping for the best rather than figuring out how to actually fix shit. Even if the inevitable outcome is going over the cliff, going over the cliff faster is a terrible goal. The goal should be to avoid the cliff.

Yes that's what an empire in an advanced state of externally induced decay looks like. A lot of us are just waiting for the shooting to start. .

Your choices are: accelerate the arrival at the inevitable conclusion, attempt to forestall it, or wait and prepare.
Reform is, deliberately, not possible. So long as universal suffrage is in place, the collapse will occur.
