“Just keep arguing” is passive, not active. It takes very little effort and will actually do almost nothing to stave off collapse or the insanity of current world powers. Making “alliances” with more dysfunctional groups won’t get them to put our interests before theirs, nor does it give anything other than attention.

“Accelerationism” is people thinking the worse it gets the better without doing anything to weather the collapse. This is also passive lol.

Isolation is not the only other option. That is extremely simplistic. Rerooting can be done in a manner to rapidly grow communities and bring in more people… especially those who uphold the system. Trades and stem would be ideal… and this takes considerable effort, is active and hard to do but doesn’t give you likes like the non stop talking our way out of this mentality does. Or the grifting and attention seeking using the same talking points lacking any real creativity in thought.

Traditional lifeways always reassert when chaos becomes extreme. In the long run, the pendulum swings back. And forth. And back again. However, we are potentially, plausibly in the end time near a mass extinction event. So the usual cycle of history may not be relevant.
