Most of these “accelerationist” probably aren’t living in US, anglosphere, or EU, and live in 3rd world nation. So they couldn’t care less about the collapse of the US and whoever are the world hegemon is. Since it probably won’t have any effect their (already hard) life, 'cept economy ofc (dollar being fucked means everybody gonna get fucked).

Nah, not really. A different (not necessarily better or worse, just different) world hegemony will just emerge

Aslo the transition gonna be painful (see: yugoslav war)

Let me reverse the question

Why do power cables need to be buried in non dense urban area?

Yes it will make it a bit ugly, but so what?. It’s not like it being ugly will do anything anyway. It’s not like being a bit ugly is a very annoying thing unlike when there a trash heap and it smells bad.

I think we should just keep it up there for sub-urban and rural areas, and invest the saved money on other things.

Also, im from developing country so my perspective is bit different for this topic.
