I’m confused, doesn’t worsening material conditions count as political utility in his eyes?

Edit:I normally wouldn’t have an issue, since it’s actually pretty sane, but I literally thought to myself today “it would be funny if BE said Kirk’s death was a bad thing because adventurism will make things worse.” I was joking. I’m starting to hypothosize that economists [both accelerationist and reformists] are actually simps for the status quo

    Doesn’t matter at all whether it’s credible, they will do exactly what they were always planning to do

      You’ll have to run that back for me. Are you saying the political aparatus is so powerful it can do whatever it wants with equal effectiveness of method? Or the public across the board being so stupid it doesn’t make a difference whether something is real or not? Or something else?

        I assume this. In the end the yugoslav civil war didnt start because a random dude lied about putting a bottle up his bum.
