1/ I sent this last night so I wouldn't forget the point but I should elaborate: the red-brown horseshoe meets at "current society needs to be torn down so our preferred dystopia will magically appear" So both sets of terrorists want "acceleration"

2/ "Acceleration" means "do terrible things to destroy current society so our magical land will arise." I'm a rabbi & sociologist so I'm a committed believer in society as the best means to reach utopia on earth. These red-brownists are my exact opposite. Sedomalekites.
3/ RedRoses hate the Democrats more than their purported right-wing opposites for real reasons; Reds & Browns in actuality hate society while we political-society types love society. It's logical. "Acceleration" is incredibly evil
4/ RedRoses claim HRC/Biden are just as bad as the GOP; they said this in 2000 & helped Gore lose which did 'accelerate' our current predicament.
Finally, HRC losing in 2016 led to the purest 'accelerated' destruction of US society in the manner they claim to want.

5/ So the RedRoses got what they wanted in 2000 & 2016 & some of them say the same now: reject Biden so things will get worse & we can get a socialist paradise!
But, as I pointed out, Biden's platform is the furthest Left in a very long time. Why? Because Trump is super terrible

6/ This means that the acceleration plan worked the way they claim they'd want: more hell on earth leads the Dems to adopt more socialism. I can see, by simplistic logic, why they think it would work again.
But I have two counter-arguments

7/ (1) The death-toll has been catastrophic; kids torn from their parents & living in cages; Muslim-Ban, evictions, secret police shooting tear gas into Black family homes. The list of atrocities goes on and on.
IMO this cost isn't worth a more socialist country

8/ (2) Especially since, in my observation of US history, when the Dems get a unified government, the system gets so much better in ways that the RedRoses claim to want
Why they want 'acceleration' is b/c they want the change faster & total

9/ The speed isn't governed by politicians, though. The population needs to be convinced to accept it. Because we're a democracy. Yet, the RedRoses often seem to be fine with imposing their wishes on an unwilling/unconvinced population. That scares me.
10/ Because the biggest reason we're capable of electing the furthest Left platform in decades is not because of the accelerated Hellscape, but because the demography has reached a tipping point where white supremacy no longer holds the same veto!

11/ "Acceleration" is evil in practice and even on paper it relies on forced conversion of ideas, using force to make people obey - either indirect force of scorched-earth or plain ol' direct force.
All of this is summarized in my single tweet above.

12/ The stated plan of the far Left worked. Society got horrible enough that majority supports liberal ideas in 2020. IMO it's not worth the cost because lives are too valuable to sacrifice, and because there are better more ethical methods to get better results
