Does watching it make it go away?

No, but opposition leaders organizing a large protest to expulse them from urban centers would force the issue into contention in a way that doesn’t allow them to continue experimenting with what forms of state kidnapping and assault are most effective for oppression

Historically it would just force more brutal repression until the critical point (most likely starvation) forces some sort of revolutionary action. So if you’re going for an accelerationist angle, I get it and carry on.

look around, i think they chose acceleration for us. If we can force terms more beneficial to our side, we should.

I’m not opposed to acceleration necessarily. In fact, I don’t see any viable strategy that doesn’t incorporate it. I just have too many humanist Marxist sensibilities still to at least not perform a bit of reluctance regarding it, tbh.
