I’d rather vote for Trump to accelerate the decline of the world so the revolution is easier / faster
It always astounds me that people who have enough intelligence to read so much doctrine (some of which does have value) give in to such ends-means justification. The “revolution” is not inevitable, nor is its victory, nor is its success in making life that much better. Sacrificing others’ lives and well-being in the here and now has zero justification because there’s no guarantee that it will make any situation any better. They’re just zealots
For what it’s worth, the people I knew IRL who said this did end up voting and did not vote for Trump, but I still wonder how damaging that rhetoric could’ve been if people hadn’t been willing to argue with it.
But yeah, that was a mind-boggling shouting match conversation to have.
