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.

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.

Societal downfalls loom large in history and popular culture but, for the 99 per cent, collapse often had its upsides

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.
