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.
