Americans are struggling because of a lack of socialism, basically. They can't do this and keep the hyper individualistic and selfish society they have now. Anyone reading this, look up libertarian socialism. Socialism can co-exist with capitalism and does so successfully in many countries. Make it happen in your state and who knows, you too could have the safety net needed to assert your democratic rights in a crisis.
That's one reason. Another is accelerationists intentionally supporting increased suffering with religious dedication, believing, despite all of the evidence otherwise, that if they throw enough LGBTQ+ and genocidees under the bus, it will stop, rather than just swerving to avoid the heap of corpses.
Agree!
