Any form of meaningful resistance will be met with brutal violence and repression, which doesn't mean we shouldn't do it, but it won't be pretty. A lot of people will die if we do a good job.

Won't argue with that

It's not ideal for things to get worse, but in places like the US, that's already out of our hands. The non accelerationists lost, and now we're in freefall off the cliff. This freefall is temporary and will eventually end, but it's too late to stop it. We had a second chance and blew it.

I know people hear me saying it's too late for prevention and think "there is no hope; we can only have hope if the horrible future can be averted," but I'm saying we can still have hope even in the worst of times. We can't have hope that the organizations who let this happen will be able to save us, but we can have hope in good people being out there. We can have hope that individuals have kindness, that people themselves want a better future than we're getting. We cannot expect the systems to choose a good future for us unless they're dragged kicking and screaming.

Nah, we're in the "have get worse more slowly/reach the apex of shittyness sooner" phase. These are still important things, but it isn't getting better until the second era of fascism burns itself out. It took World Wars that devastated the most powerful countries on earth last time, and I doubt it will be peaceful this time around.

I love how this meme complains about pointless quarrelling while starting a quarrel with...

The entire left! Like come on, you're not even practicing what you preach. You're not asking for unity, only trying to shame people into submission like the supposed smug leftists you're calling out.

Fuck this eugenics spouting movie that blames individual weakness over systemic evil.
