Discussion I say let's accelerate the collapse.

[derpyderpins]

Time for the economy to crash, nukes to go off, war to break out, disease and famine, etc. Gimme some action. Destroy the slog that is normal life.

Do you also want to see society collapse? And what's the best way a normal person can help accelerate?

 

[Downdraft]

I probably shouldn't say this, but the best way I can think, is rampant forest burning lol, specially in rural areas. How else one sole person is supposed to emit so much CO to the air, and what else can you really do?

This is speculative, don't do it pls, unless you want to jail me.

 

[Otaku]

I probably shouldn't say this either.
But whenever something wild is happening like the invasion in ukraine, or the "march to Moscow episode"..
I'm sitting with my popcorns and thinking.. Oh please.. Let more shit happen..

It's such a boring world.

Exactly why I made this thread. I know it's dark, but I'm desperate to break the monotony.

Maybe you'll find this as interesting as I did:
Simple Sabotage Field Manual - Strategic Services (pdf, declassified)

If you care about people, animals, or anything at all, I think you should pick the good fight instead. While the world certainly deserves to burn, it quickly becomes undesirable when you start looking at the details. I certainly don't want Pluto's cats to die of radiation poisoning, starvation, or burnt to a crisp.

A flourishing economy, dominated by wage slaves working for some one else without understanding why, is clearly preferable.

Not Pluto, nooooooooooo!!!!!

Skimming through. It does seem interesting.

The post is half in jest and not a moral statement on the world in any way. More of an expression of how horror and disaster at least seem interesting.

BREAKING NEWS.

A suicide terrorist organization plans to commit terrorist attacks.

Fanatics who consider themselves pro-choice have been secretly creating plans for several years to destabilize the world.

The specific motivations of this group are not yet known.
For this reason, the USA government decided to bomb Europe because why the fuck not.

Kind of just seems like the best way a normal person can contribute to the overall decline is just by having a normal life of consuming and spawning a minimum of 2.3 extra human beings to pollute the earth with. I guess when it comes to the climate, using any generative AI seems to contribute a lot to hurting the environment by using a lot of electricity so I guess one can help just by getting AI to do a lot of prompts for you.

Accelerationism - Wikipedia

It already exists. Funny how the white nationalist reactionaries have been taking so many cues from postmodernism. I wouldn't involved myself in this stuff, personally. It's already happening on its own.

I get it.

I'm counting on the singularity. Plenty of experts in the field think the emergence of superintelligence is imminent, and that it's going to have serious repercussions.

That said, the world is far from boring. There's plenty of fucked up shit already happening that simply may not affect us directly.

Well, the world might not be boring, but my day-to-day is, and I'm not strong enough to throw away my comfort willingly to change that.

I could go for the singularity, though. Unification. Let's all turn into a sea of tang.

Leftist accelerationism is interesting to me, but have lessening hope that it'll be possible.

I don't know whether it would help, or hurt, but I always wondered if a walk-out petition went viral where months from now (so people have notice and have to catch on) there was a planned days not to make a single purchase and/or an all-employee (or as many as possible obviously) to not show up to work. I can't tell if this would hurt or help the economy. Maybe it doesn't matter, as long as the message was received. Same with national school walk-outs from every grade and level.

I wish people could coordinate like that for anything.

Did the Covid era distract you from the monotony of your life?

Yes, actually, although in hindsight I view it as a bit of a tease. Maybe that's why I want something even bigger. (I know this is extremely insensitive. I obviously don't want harm to befall people. It's a twisted desire.)

Even though it was awful and a lot upset me and I felt threatened and there was conflict and even though people I care about were sick and even died . . . I felt more engaged, more alive, during that time.

Besides all the obvious bad that came from it, the "break" is what a lot of people liked to reflect, relax, and get back to their own basics of themselves :/

and then die a very painful death from radiation like Hisashi Ouchi
