is there any method to the madness? I stumbled upon some stuff and its horrifying, but could be understood from a very neutral perspective. Is it entirely full of racists and reactionaries?

      Yeah, I think if you were a fortune teller and could know with certainty that bringing the HOI global tension score to X% by year Y was the only way to have the global revolution happen in the next 100 years, and wasn't going to lead to fascism instead, you could justify acceleration for acceleration's sake, but since not even the immortal science can be that precise, really you just end up making assumptions and oversimplifications that make accepting trends you'd rather not deal with easier.

        It's bullshit though. If accelerating bad conditions is what leads to revolution then every third world country would be in the middle of a revolution every other year. The movements for socialism in tsarist Russia and Germany grew when the economy was growing.
