I can't say you're wrong, and I've held this perspective personally at times. At some point I realized that I'm trapped in this fucked up situation and taking a hopeful perspective, even if it's not always the most logical allows me to live with less stress.

I feel like things like doomerism, accelerationism, and eco-fascism ultimately help the psychopathic hoarders causing all this trouble.

I feel like solarpunk and anarchism, looking to community rather than stores and government agencies, etc make things harder for them.

and fuck everyone who keeps trying to tell me we should just try to “understand” how Republicans got to where they are.

One can have compassion for a victim and still recognize their danger and the need to protect oneself from that danger.

I feel that a large number of Republicans are victims of a lifetime of propaganda, and threats. This is important to understand if one is trying to understand the big picture. If literally 1/2 of humans are inherently shit it would benefit the planet if our species went extinct ASAP and that is eco-fascism. The long-term goal needs to be to prevent the those with power and wealth from turning their victims into their idiot army.

When it comes to how to how to treat them on the short-term or individual level, treat them as the mortal danger they are.
