Definition: The term "annihilationist" originates from German, meaning to annihilate or destroy. It refers to someone who believes in an end-state where a vast destruction occurs without any positive outcome, often due to some external force or event.
Definition:
- Anihilationist views history and events as inevitable and predetermined. This is often associated with the belief that certain events are destined to occur and do not have a chance of change.
- They believe in an afterlife where the soul continues on indefinitely after death, without any hope for reincarnation into a better life or world.
In contrast, someone who supports more positive outcomes or seeks for better solutions might use terms like "good government," "sustainability," "green growth," or "ecological sustainability" to describe historical actions that aim for a beneficial outcome rather than one that destroys.
