    First off, that’s a ridiculous assumption. Not everyone subscribes to your ideology of lesser evilism, and the vast majority of people who correctly reject that ideology are not accelerationists.

    But secondly, just curious, if I was a German citizen who hated Nazi Germany and wanted it to fail, would that make me worse than the Nazis? The Nazis were just doing genocide, after all, but I committed what is apparently a far worse sin in your eyes, of insufficient patriotism.

      If they don’t subscribe to my ideology, they must be a greater evil.

      if I was a German citizen who hated Nazi Germany and wanted it to fail, would that make me worse than the Nazis?

      It would make you a Communist Fifth Columnist Jew-Loving Traitor and earn you a ticket straight to the camps.

      The Nazis would absolutely say you were worse than them.

        The Nazis would say it, sure. Would you agree with them? Because it sort of sounds like you’d agree with them.
