I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

In fairness, it is possible that it takes a decent into fascismto wake the people up. Or it could be like ww2, where it gives the world a common enemy to defeat. Noone knows. So they could be right. Less probable things have happened... like trumps 1st term. Noone saw that coming 4 years before it happened. The reality is that noone knows what the result of thier actions will really be on the world stage.
"It's possible" is a god-awful basis for a political strategy that involves electing a known fascist.
Who cares? Having a common enemy to defeat isn't a "good" thing, this isn't a superhero movie. It's a sign that evil people have become too powerful. Millions of people died in WWII as a result. And fascism is still going strong around the world.
There are a lot of very clearly known things, and accelerationists ignore all of those in favour of a crackpot theory of social change.
Well you implied that anyone who believed in the possibility that decending into facsism could end up with positive results was stupid. I just pointed out that history shows it can end well for the rest of the world and that eventually the nation in question can recover. So it isn't stupid, just a difference of opinion.
