Wasn't there some Asian and/or communist guy who philosophized something like "Things have to get worse before they can get better"? I have a vague shadow of a memory of something like that. It was, like, Mao, or Confucius, or Sun Tzu, or something.
i.e. ...
1. Let everything go to shit, causing possibly irrevocable damage
2. ???
3. REVOLUTION!!!
Is this the current plan of a large section of The Left?
You're talking about Accelerationism, I believe.
That is a bad route, that leads to meth and Nick Land.
I seriously had people telling me with STRAIGHT FACES that 4 years of Trump COULDN'T BE THAT BAD and that it would teach stubborn DNC people to love Bernie. I was a bit of a fan myself, and that stupid shit made me hate the very
idea of the progressive left. On the other hand, people telling me that I was the worst sort of racist for supporting Bernie in the primaries makes me want to shit all over the DNC hardliners. I'm certainly no fan of the right, either.
So basically, I fucking hate everyone. Every last motherfucker. I want that meteor, brothers and sisters, and I want it to land on YOU. THAT BEING SAID, I have family members that are vulnerable to the wash of white trash nationalism sweeping the nation, and I am going to vote against the GOP even if that means getting the Bernie poo OR the DNC stink on me. This should under no circumstances be taken as "Dok has seen the light"...No, Dok has
felt the heat, and I'm going to hate you all even more no matter how the next election turns out. It's hard to explain just how much I hate everyone right now ("everyone" being "anyone involved in any portion, at any level (right down to the voter) in American politics), and that I am feeling the forgiveness and mercifulness of a Tucson motorcycle cop right now. I have no intention of ever forgiving the shit that got said in 2015/2016, and
that is when people didn't know for sure how bad this would be, so the shit happening right now hasn't got a chance.
So if NET thinks he has a case of the ass at me for pointing out that his side doesn't DO shit except holler how much nothing they get accomplished, then I have to laugh. Fuck you, NET, and ALSO fuck the hardcore DNC. I hate you both, and if any of you
cared about me, you'd kill yourselves today.
(ETA: Obviously, Canadians and Eurospags get a pass on this.)
