Former top officials from Donald Trump’s administration are warning he is likely to use a second term to overhaul the nation’s spy agencies in a way that could lead to an unprecedented level of politicization of intelligence.

Would you mind linking a video or article you would recommend on why accelerationism is a bad thing? I can look it up, but if you have any recommendations, it would make it a lot faster.

Some of the left wing parties of Weimar Germany thought that letting Hitler have power would inevitably collapse the system. It’d get so bad that the people would have to spark the revolution.
Obviously, it didn’t work out that way. The Nazis left Germany in ruins, and what came out of the ashes was a split country. The western half became as neoliberal capitalist as the rest of western Europe (though with more of the sharp edges filled off compared to the United States today), and the eastern half fell under the USSR’s own unique form of fascism.
To be clear: fascism is ultimately self defeating. How it fails has a range of possibilities, but it doesn’t end in a clear path towards a great communist utopia.
Ah, read the article and a few others. I would say that my current views are close to Left-Wing Accelerationism. To my understanding, the issue with Accelerationism is the gamble it would be taking on the majority views of USA occupants? I.E. if the majority is right leaning we will most likely end up worse off for a while, while if the majority is left leaning, we will be in a much better place than we started. With the potential price being thousands of lives. Which is why the Left is pushing for Biden votes, so that risk is removed and we at least keep the status quo. Right?
