The deaths are already happening under the current ideology and are endless until stopped.

My ideology is leaving each other the hell alone.

What if the 'other' is building a nuke? What if they refuse to vaccinate and are a notch away from creating a new superbug that will likely kill you? What if they're pumping pollution into the air and water and maximizing climate change? What if they're raping and violently torturing children?

What if you need them to maintain your food supply, electricity, medical care, etc? What if you need the local 'other' to back you up if another more distant 'other' decides it going to kill you and take your land?

I say this as a heavily individualist minded person myself: You can't operate a worthwhile society as a collection of islands. You need cooperation.

It would be better to eradicate spacetime itself with a vacuum decay event than to allow a completely brutal "every man for themselves" world to continue existing. Pointless suffering.

Many of those people will not have developed political reasoning, and will consider themselves "apolitical" due to having never investigated their own political viewpoints...

Or worse, they'll consider themselves "objective" when it comes to politics, claiming they just know when something is true, or good for people.

Once, I nihilistically mentioned to my friend that “I welcome the coming inevitable nuclear holocaust.” His reply was something that I will never forget: “I don’t think you realize what nuclear war entails.”

I haven’t wished for the end of the world since.

For each 1000 ideologies in people's heads, 100 can be somewhat decently explained, 10 can be understood by others and only 1 works for some time.

I'm honestly yet to meet anyone, online or otherwise, who genuinely advocates for the end of society as part of the movement's program. The vast majority of revolutionary movements don't build from the ashes of society, but rather seek to transform it.
