Humans are not the unwellness, the machine is.

Other words for that are "misanthropy" and "accelerationism."

    pretty sure accelerationism is a different thing. basically the idea that to get to a better world the one we currently live in needs to break. unfortunately they don't seem to care that the manner of breaking is really quite important. capitalism collapsing because workers established networks to feed and house themselves, and capitalism collapsing because the oligarchs decided they'd rather be kings are very different situations

    Very good points. Accelerationism is certainly that, and I've also seen where some people simply think humanity should end; that better world only exists without us, re: the aforementioned "virus" in the comic.
