Big assumption there that folks would break our way and not the fash way. If things fell apart right now we would be fucked. Long way to go in the way of education before the left is ready to capitalize on instability
I'm not sure emotions really have an ethical valence at all. You can be happy or sad about whatever you want without it being blameworthy or praiseworthy. I don't think it's ethical to actively make things worse, though.
Is it ethical to be somewhat glad (not sure if this is the right word) as things get worse, as it necessarily turns people to our viewpoint?

Good point, I guess I forget how many idiots and chuds would happily cheer in fascism as things are today.

This. Ethics is a system of rules to follow for cya reasons. It's not much to do with personal beliefs and morality.
