Notes -
No, I just want it my way, which is quite distinct from Kulak's way. I think large scale violence is likely, and preferable to other likely scenarios. That does not mean it is a first-draft pick, but rather that the situation is quite bad and getting worse. There are plausible scenarios by which violence is avoided without too many compromises with straightforward evil; those are obviously preferable. There are also scenarios where compromise with other forms of straightforward evil increases the apparent likelihood of "victory", and yet such scenarios remain unacceptable.
The best way forward is for our society to peacefully transition to more meaningful forms of federalism, for the current trends of ideological, social and cultural sortition to continue to their logical conclusions, and for people possessed of mutually-intolerable values to find a way to leave each other alone.
With the caveat that I have no precise idea what you mean by "this sort of thing", no, I do not like any of the possible referents at all, and no, not anything that brings "the revolution" closer is good. In fact, most things that bring "the revolution" closer are straightforwardly evil. If we are as unfortunate as we appear to be, "the revolution" will get here in its own good time, despite our efforts to the contrary. We should seek neither to hasten it, nor to unduly forestall it. We should instead attempt to do what is right, and let the cards fall where they may.
