It's like, if the goal is the collapse of America, he's probably the best bet yeah? If shit collapses he'll probably get executed anyway by his own base of psychopaths.

This assumes that fascism isn't effective as capitalism's immune response, but I'd argue it is.

Yeah, but the competentish fascist we were afraid of turned out to be Robinette Brandon. Covid ended, wars accelerated, he's doing that faux-populism thing, new levels of state persecution of minorities, elections looking less legitimate than ever, jingoistic nationalism.

Its not. It only heigthens the contradictions. Take it from someone who was born in a corporatist state. That type of regime is extreamly fragile.

The fascist regime itself is inherently unstable. It's not meant to last. It's meant to stop socialism. It always collapses back into liberal capitalism.

accelerationism is a right-deviating tendency.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

I don't know if I'm an accelerationist, but I just think the US needs to collapse before better things are truly capable of happening
