The Idiot somehow ending the global petrodollar, making renewable energy the only plausible option, and causing another Catholic schism is, just... sure. Why not. This doomed timeline might as well have some accidental stupid upsides.

Accelerationism is human sacrifice for change, but it'd be worse to cause all this suffering and not change.

Let this particular horror remind everyone - these people aren't ignorant. They're just bastards. They are educated monsters. Some bubba wearing a pillowcase would not use ecumenical deep cuts as oblique threats. A mere idiot would shuffle their cards and suggest tarriff-ing the Vatican, as if they export anything besides grace, indulgence, and instructions for shielding child molesters.
