I always wonder how accelerationists imagine themselves in this collapsed society.

[–] Jean_le_Flambeur@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 hours ago (6 children)

Good question, can't answer that as I'm not an accelerationist.

I dont think a collapse happens not by itself in such a case, but by civil rights groups, socialists, anarchists, workers and ordinary people bringing it down. It will depend on them to build a better system.

My vote would go to democratic socialism, but most societal systems would be better than the most powerful nation being a facist system imho

Yeah, a controlled collapse led by my preferred party who then lead the new society into my perfect system sounds awesome.

Don't forget the part about where the new leader voluntarily gives up control because they've achieved utopia.

Jup, that's why personality cult sucks. Can't wait for the easy fix that humans seem to like it, even if they know its bad. Evolutionary I guess, we tend to personify.
