There's four factions I can identify: the doomsday cult, who believe this is for the war of Armageddon; the nihilists, who don't really care about anything as long as their enemies suffer; the dying elders, who don't care what happens after they die; and the careerists, who are thinking longer term about their political future.

So, three factions in favor of political suicide, one faction against it. Seems bad.

I mean liberal politicians wanting political suicide is a good thing, it's the military murder-suicide pact they've landed on that's worrying.

unfortunately, fascism is when the death cult finally turns into a murder-suicide cult and tries to take everyone down with them... well ok, but overt, terminal fascism really is this.
