Yeah, it’s not like things were good in the USA, before January.
More and more often I catch myself wishing for accelaration: let it collapse rather sooner than later. It’s an emotional response, because watching this country go to the dogs in slo mo - possibly even with another Dem president in between that fails horribly trying to fix it - would be so torturous.
Exactly. An empire falling is only really bad for those in power. For those of us that aren’t, collapse is a chance for us to assert our own authority.
Thing is, we need to preconfigure the society we want to see or else that power vacuum be filled by just a different set of tyrants who seek control over us.

Glad we agree there.
No need to worry about that one; MAGA is here to stay. Welcome to the United States of National Socialism.
No see MAGA is anti socialism, it’s why they’re not Nazis /s
I’m pessimistic because I see the USA collapsing.
You are pessimistic because you do not see it collapsing.
We are not the same.
