    First, this user tells me that tankies are bad. Tankies think that the system is bad, and that its collapse is an unqualified good.

    Then, they switched to accelerationists. Accelerationists want the system to collapse hard and fast, so that people don’t acclimate to poorer conditions, and get motivated to fix the system.

    Meanwhile, I’m warning that the system is going to collapse, and we need to fix it ASAP.

    Hence, my question. What the heck is they on about, now?

        I prefer, “inconveniently correct.” I’ve learned from long experience on the Internet that if one is wrong, somebody will jump in and tell one all the ways. But if one is correct in an uncomfortable way, well, it short-circuits people’s brains, and they just start talking nonsense and throwing insults.
