“If you want to make sense of the current political moment, and why electoral politics under capitalism can never, and will never, serve anyone but the wealthy capitalists, look no further than the most influential political theorist of the 20th century: Vladimir Lenin.

It’s much easier for someone who is functionally just a centrist conservative to “reject” everything, tar them all with the same brush, and then do nothing but whatever self-soothing prepper crankery they like to do in their basement or on forums or whatever, without any attachment to a real political movement because all real alternatives are “just as bad”. It’s a very self-satisfied approach to things.
