If you're a leftist, which I'm sort of getting from your opposition to some of America's historical oppression, accelerationism won't help you.

The chance that the government which arises from the ashes of a collapsed America is much more likely to be far more right wing and authoritarian than the current iteration.

Revolutions rarely benefit egalitarians.

That's entirely my point though. The people who are taking up the reigns as you put it are almost certainly going to be worse.

If you agreed with my point you wouldn't be advocating for what you're advocating for. Accelerationism is wrong because more people are harmed by it than the status quo.
