    And nothing of value would be lost. In it’s ashes we could get an actual democracy built for the people, by the people.

      You seriously think it will lead to a rebuilt democracy, rather than a bloodthirsty fascist hellscape, followed by a multi-polar civil war and then periodic cycles of warlord rule, culminating with invasions by foreign adversaries? That’s cute.

      We’re about to get fucked like the countries we spent centuries fucking to get here.

        At least you can count on Canada to send help to the more dire areas to stop the worst of the civilian impact. You’re not alone in the world.

      Or something worse. Don’t assume that what you prefer would be built up as a replacement.

        It also completely ignores the millions of people that are going to be victimized, even if we rebuild a perfect society from the ashes (highly unlikely). I will never understand accelerationsts. They completely ignore some of the most basic values that progressives should have.

      If fascists win, what / who do you think those ashes will be made of?

        The same thing they were made of last time fascists and those they tried to target before libs finally had enough.

          Buddy…they would be in control of the largest military in human history. The most powerful economy and politically charged nation ever to have existed. All of the world would have to work against us. Including China and Russia.

          If fascism wins, that will be your 1000 years of darkness.
