    Those cases make me think about maybe people just don’t care enough for the most serious issues. They don’t impact their lives enough to sparkle some urgent action

      I think this is the most compelling point that accelerationism has going for it. Revolutions are full of hardship, while people have gotten used to the conveniences of the status quo. Systemic problems are often distant and/or obfuscated, whereas this one was immediate and apparent to those impacted. It’s not a huge leap in logic to consider if the systemic problems could be made more immediate and apparent by making things worse on the short term.

    It is real btw

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roblox_ban_protests_in_Russia

    Following the Roskomnadzor’s statement on 3 December 2025, which stated that Roblox would face a national ban in the Russian Federation over content regulations, a series of rare, coordinated public demonstration and digital campaigns, occurred throughout the nation. The protesters were mostly children and teenagers from Generation Alpha and Generation Z. This wave of resistance from Russia’s youngest demographic ultimately forced a rare political retreat by the government, culminating in the Minkomsvyaz officially lifting the ban on 10 June 2026, following over 63,000 official letters of complaint from minors.
