[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

[we now see that green is tied up in front of a bleak wall, along with a group of other people, being aimed at by a firing squad of characters in fascist uniforms]
[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…

    A lot of the far right is accelerationist. They’ve been hoping for a “race war” for many decades. Then there is the newer Effective Accelerationism/Network State/Dark Enlightenment stuff that the ultra wealthy seem to be into.

      Wow…a race war would not go well for the far right.

      When I hear “far right”, I think of middle aged angry white guys. We already HAD that war! At least in the united states…it was in the 1800s, and it did not go well for those who supported racial discrimination.

      And that’s underselling the whole thing quite a bit.
