      My least favorite part of all the accelerationists and doomers is this:

      Do you think this is going to be quick? The U.S. is going to circle the drain for the next century, sinking further into Christofascism and dragging anyone they can with them. They’ll beg for armageddon.

        I don’t know that we can make that claim. There’s a historical accuracy to that thought process. But there are also examples otherwise. It’s definitely not as clear and etched in stone like some say. There’s not a whole lot that our society shares with societies of the past. We have more guns than people, and obviously it’s a lot easier to take out a ton of people with an AR-15 than a sword. If all the rest of the world turn their backs on America at the same it’ll hurt a bit for the world, but it’d be the end of America rather quick. Beyond that, anti-vaxxers, climate change, social strife, there’s just no way to guarantee what you say.
