@arielkroon Great article! One of the biggest secular apocalyptic movements of modern times is the transhumanists/TESCREALS and yes, I've seen much glee at punishment and unironic advocacy of genocide in those communities. Apocalypse for thee, utopia for me! Eco-doomerists and some degrowthers (not all) have shades of apocalyptic desire as well.
All of which just means we need more solarpunk stories for people to reorient their desires towards things worth fighting for.
