Osama was an accelerationist, his goal with 9/11 was the opposite of what resulted

    Hey remember how in America we've been living with Covid and 450k+ deaths because people aren't taking things seriously even when lives are on the line?

    I'm thinking accelerationism ain't gonna work here. It'll just result in way worse policing.

      Obviously, things simply aren't bad enough.

      I mean, look at Yemen. A few years of shit really going off the rails and then what happened next? They figured their shit out, went FALGSC, and now it's an absolute utopia over there.

      Or, for a more historical example, consider Tsarist Russia. WW1 causes a breaking point. Big Marxist Revolution. The whole country reforms over, like, six months in the mid-20s. And then nothing bad ever happens to the USSR ever again.
