Late Stage Capitalism

I was willing to entertain that you might have been using a.i. as a crutch, but I'm not willing to have a full blown dialog with a.i. if you're just going to copy and paste it without thinking for yourself.

And my own radicalization didn’t come from the failure of a single candidate. It came from watching the cruelty and imperialist nature of the US play out over years. If that’s more commonly how radicalization happens, the grief cycle theory is betting on a mechanism that may not even be the primary driver.

Acknowledging the cruelty and imperialist nature of the US is the grief cycle. It's acceptance, the last stage. We were all raised to believe the US was something else. We had to grieve to arrive at acceptance that the US is not that. Similarly, there is a grief cycle to realize that voting can't change that.

Broken, traumatized, conditioned toward dominance, full of rage with no healthy outlet

That's being stuck in grief cycle, not completing it. Anger is the second stage. It's the stage we get stuck in when there are no healthy communities of grief to support us in our grieving. White men are isolated, by design, and thus become stuck in the anger stage. The path forward is support each other in moving past the anger stage.

And the system is very good at getting to those people before we are

No, it's not. The system is ALREADY AT THOSE PEOPLE before they even begin the process of anger. The system is fundamentally there at all times causing this. The solution is to build communities of healing and breaking down illusions that trap us, including revealing how the system works to trap us.

Increased suffering and violence

Is NOT what I'm advocating for. That's what accelerationism is. I am advocating for the demolition of illusions that protect people from grieving about the suffering and violence that is here.
