I have the same feelings about climate change. Nothing's going to change until shit gets much, much worse. Too bad to ignore.

The big issue with accelerationism like that is in a crisis like climate change by the time the issues are so bad they're non-ignorable resources will be so tied up addressing the symptoms there won't be slack left for addressing the underlying issues.

Also for climate change specifically there's a huge hangover effect from already emitted greenhouse gases and carbon extraction is extremely difficult.

No... not really... no

COVID was running rampant while the Trump administration was just mocking it and blaming other countries. Bodies were piling up to the point of converting freezing trailers into morgues, but nobody remember that one of the first things that the Trump administration did was to dismantle the team that was monitoring these kind of situations because it was a bad deal with Obama name on it.

And still there is enough people in this country (with the help of mathematically calculated jerrymandering) that think it is a good idea to support the republicans.

If anything else, this proves that things don't need to be explained away if you can manipulate people's emotions

(Feeling better now)

"Bodies that need to be explained away" ? It's a hospital, that's literally one of their core functions. The death certificate reads "cardiac arrest" due to "$underlying_disease", not "nurse responded to call 30 minutes too late" due to "MBAs optimizing away every bit of margin and then some".
