I suspect that just as some people want to be ordered, thwarted, seduced, imprisoned, enslaved, and abused, there are those who want to be destroyed but don't want to do it on their own. They are driven by a twisted egalitarianism and strive to condemn and bring down their entire society so they will not have to bear a personal stigma for their destruction. They seek the macro in order to obtain the micro.
In their view, this is justified because all are unworthy, although, to paraphrase Orwell, some are less unworthy than others. They, of course, are in this elite group which blends egotism with insecurity.
These individuals are, in short, driven by a death wish but they don't want to go alone. They want company.
