Is there a term or phrase for the desire for Apocalypse?

I'm researching this for an article I'm writing: is there a term or phrase for the desire for the End Times? Given the preponderance of literature, popular and otherwise, that focuses on the end of the world, it stands to reason there should be a specific term for this specific, ostensibly pleasurable manifestation of a mass death wish. There's this Reddit post, which discusses it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/neology/comments/2nhkln/is_there_a_word_for_the_longing_for_apocalypseend/

but "eschatomania," a more Judeo-Christian term referring to "an intensive preoccupation with the prophetic passages or details of the Bible, eschatological charts, prophecy studies, end-times predictions and preaching, etc." is the only real word posted there. Is there another, better and/or less religiously-oriented word or phrase for "Apocalyptaphilia"? Or should we just start using that? :)


I believe Sigmund Freud called this desire Thanatos. More commonly, it's called death instinct.

A primitive impulse for destruction, decay, and death, postulated by Sigmund Freud as coexisting with and opposing the life instinct. Also called Thanatos.
