Instability fosters opportunity, creative destruction is amazing when it comes to this but pure destruction and instability can also drive success if you see the opportunities.

I hope for it all the time. I have a habit of going through abandoned buildings,exploring because of my fondness towards the whole anarchy/apocalypse concept. I've bought thousands of dollars in gear. In everything from ballistic vest, water purifying tablets, combat bandages, cold weather tarps, headlamps, backpacks and even bought an AR-15 I personally built by buying each internal piece separately(so it would be at it's best performance with little maintenance). I rooted for ebola and get so excited when I hear stories about national tension rising. Links to some gear I bought years ago, I haven't added to the collection since.
The reason why I'm in love with this concept so much can be narrowed down to 2 reasons.
- Recreating Comfortable Conditions: To make it short, my mother had some mental issues and couldnt be trusted. In my single digit years of my life I had total control of the house and managed things like her paycheck and what we ate for the night. The feeling I get from imagining those scenarios is the same I got from successfully managing my family when I was young. I only want things to fall apart, so I can remain orderly and bring them back together.
- Subconscious Pressures: I have ridiculous standards in my head I feel I need to reach. I can't be rich if the goverment collapses, I'll need new ways to test myself.
"Desolation yes
Hesitation no..."
I don't desire annihilation. I seek the destruction/dissolution of certain things. As Cad mentioned, demolition is a part of many constructive efforts. In seven years, your entire body has swapped out all its material. You are constantly dying and replacing yourself. It's not a new concept. It's nature. Annihilation is synonymous with stagnation.
I have desired annihilation. Past tense. I may desire it again in the future. Not right now and not in the foreseeable future, however. It's really only a mood.
"Wanting it around oneself is the trademark of sheltered bored immature people imo. You can tell this by the fact that in their fantasies they always envision themselves as surviving through it, or at least part of it."
Wanting everyone to die so you can dodge the responsibility of being financially successly is extremely immature, you're right.There's no interest in the scenario if surviving isn't difficult. While this maybe a fantasy, my knowledge of the subject isn't. I'm fully aware my survival capabilities aren't above anyones by much(and I only say that because I've had training and have the gear for such an event). The scenario would have no appeal if I knew I was going to live
"There is plenty wrong in many parts of the world right now. Go and "fix things" there XD. You don't have to passively wish for the USA government to fall to achieve those two things"
pshhh, I need a challenge~
I wouldn't be trying to rebuild america here, this would only pertain to myself and my family. Ideally, it'd just be me setting routines for myself that'd be beneficial to surviving. I have no desire to restructure framework for other people

I dunno, there's also a draw towards "taking them all with me" if they see themselves as a related cause of it, if not a factor within it that causes further entropy. Basically, if there's a bottle with a deadly virus in it, some daydream being the one who breaks it open.

They don't want anywhere to be safe. There needs to be this feeling of there being nowhere left to go or the vision is ruined. If there was a zombie outbreak in a single country for instance, they'd just quarantine it. It has to be everywhere, and it has to be too late to do anything about it, or the fantasy dies.
...also in his case, if there's elsewhere's that have more power than him, that'd reduce his odds of being able to be the hero.
