Also, in b4 fascists start pretending like the Stalinist bootlicker Thalmann hadn't spent the past half-decade backstabbing and burning bridges with the SPD, which had previously been cooperative with the KPD after the establishment of the Weimar Republic.

Collapse theory is fundamentally a privileged take. It is a position that is impossible to accept without either the assumption that you'd survive, or the assumption that the disproportionate harm to the disadvantaged is worth it for your end goals even if you die too.

Either way, you're declaring that your paradise can and should be built over the bodies of the disemprivileged, and are automatically wrong and a horrible person for even being able to think that way.

You are the exact kind of monster that built the colonialist model of Israel, just insisting that your nation built on the bodies of the innocent will be a more moral one somehow.

What is this "collapse theory"? I'd like to learn more, but Google is only providing me links about quantum waves.

I think the usual term is Accelerationism?

it's the idea that we should accelerate the collapse of society so "our" preferred system can replace it. Doesn't matter who the "our" encompasses.

Do you have any readings you'd suggest? I sort of came to the conclusion that these ideas don't work on my own, but I still find it tempting to throw up my hands because they're all corrupt and playing for the same team.
