A part was something in the vein of "voting doesn't work, bring back the guillotines". I think they're called "accelerationists" due to the belief that the current state of affairs can't be fixed and only by violent revolution can society be rebuilt (in their imagine).

So, some people wanted Trump to win in order to have everything fail and justify blowing shit up.

Somehow I think pretty much all of those people are going to do jack and shit. Being a revolutionary is hardcore and I can respect that but only posting memes online is some Reddit ass slacktivism.

Being a revolutionary means you are willing to die for your cause. Ain't none of those wannabes willing to die for anything. As long as they have their steam deck.

They just to cry to their mommies and expect the world to cater to their every want and whim. Life doesn't work like that and never has.

Accelerationism refers to the idea of intentionally making capitalism the worst version of itself so that people have to revolt. It doesn't work; it makes everything worse without accomplishing the end goal. Generally, the people making these arguments aren't coming right out and saying they're accelerationists, but they get there indirectly.

People won't bring the revolution just because things are bad. You need class consciousness first.
