Lemmy currently seems a lot more left-wing radical compared to the past, do you think it'll last? (lemmy.ml)

Example: support for Iran, opinions about non-violent protests changing, Opinion in favour of Palestine, Hamas and Ansarallah has increased

Even in Lemmy.world and even feddit people seem to be echoing my examples quite a lot

Trump causes it.

The libs will go back to brunch when he's gone. They are more effective at making everyone switch off but still carrying out the evil, sometimes in far greater quantity.

Everyone here thought Yanis Varoufakis was mad for being incredibly Doomer when Biden won the election against Trump but he was totally right in the end, revolutionary energy that built up and found outlets through BLM and other things all fizzled completely. The same will happen when Trump goes again.

The left must take advantage of every moment currently happening to recruit and radicalise while people are in this state of mind.

I remember plenty of people here (myself included) who said the same thing. And I am not even a believer in accelerationism, it is just a noted phenomenon.
