When has accelerationism ever worked before?
- xadhominemx 9y agoI think for a lot of relatively wealthy, straight, white people there's not a lot of downside to 4 or 8 years of Trump, which led to some pretty awful accelerationism risk calculus.
- braveo 9y agoPlease get out of here with that crap, the loudest majority of anti-trumpers tend to be young, white people who think they speak for every other race and religion.
- braveo 9y agoI think the idea is to get people to "right the ship" by forcing it to lean too far to the other side, causing them to quickly pull it back to center.
- awqrre 9y agothanks, that what I was trying to say.
- roywiggins 9y agoTrump seems to think along these lines as well, though in a different direction. "When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster, then you'll have a, you know, you'll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great." http://video.foxnews.com/v/3179604851001/donald-trumps-2014-political-predictions/?#sp=show-clips http://video.foxnews.com/v/3179604851001/donald-trumps-2014-... If he doesn't manage to work with the Republicans to raise the debt ceiling (Mick Mulvaney doesn't seem to care either way) then we might have a chance to see what happens when the economy crashes hard, with no deficit spending to cushion the fall.
