I’ve always been a critic of accelerationism, because I never believed a regime powerful and stable enough to obtain power through civic processes could actually be so incompetent as to implode themselves beyond repair. Fascist states tend to actually have pretty stable civic institutions, they’re just deployed in evil ways and for evil reasons. Trump is beginning to make me think that we could actually see the complete peak-to-trough crash of a superpower in 4 years or less.
It’s a stretch, but if I have ever had faith in that horrendous individual, he may just be perfect for this exact job… and maybe that’s one of the main reasons why the other “strong men” of the world like him.
Especially Xi Jinping, who’s the one best situated to exploit the power vacuum that Trump will create. I’m all for imperialism dying, but that’s not on the table right now, just US imperialism being supplanted with Chinese imperialism. Whoop-dee-doo.
