@mazel so far as i can tell, e/acc is like u/acc but with a lot more money, a lot less brains, and a LOT fewer crazy trans girls

@Mondobizarrro @lilli @mazel u/acc (unconditional accelerationism) is kind of the overarching framework on accelerationism and is in a very loose sense a way of thinking about capital as it expands into the future. from there you have l/acc and r/acc who basically ask "what does this mean for the left/right" and various other accs that essentially build on u/acc. i recommend xenogothic's u/acc primer which links to a ton of other stuff if you are theorycel-inclined. my familiarity with this stuff is extremely limited so take everything i say with a grain of salt.
e/acc (effective accelerationism) has nothing to do with any of this and is instead an offshoot of ea (effective altruism) which is basically a bunch of rationalist tech bro guys (some with a lot of money, some without) being like we should do altruism more efficiently by giving shit to people in developing countries. e/acc in its founding post is basically like dude we gotta make more consciousness we gotta accelerate technocapital and ai development. their whole shtick is basically trolling ai safety guys and beyond that they're pretty much your average liberal transhumanist. i tried to be as objective as possible here but i really hate these motherfuckers lol

@erin @Mondobizarrro @lilli @mazel on twitter some e/acc idiot found their way into my mentions and at first i was like “oh ive never heard of that, i bet it’s interesting.” so i asked and they guy said it was “effective accelerationism” and sent the single worst document ive ever read and it was written by some guy called beff jezos. effective altruism with slightly more explicit jacking off of billionaires. i despise those people so much.

@lizzie @Mondobizarrro @erin @lilli @mazel as i read this last reply out of context on my TL i went from absolutely convinced you were joking, to thinking you were most likely joking, to hoping you were joking, to holding out the possibility you were joking, to believing in the divine because only the eternal can possibly continue to laugh at the miserable deathly morbid pallor of a joke that is humanity
anyway, i propose a/accelerationism, where we just post accelerationist bullshit until everyone's sick of it and we can finally stop

@lizzie @Mondobizarrro @lilli @mazel yeah theyre honestly funny as fuck. i love watching them try to be transgressive when they're as far away from the Outside as possible. "no guys, we're gonna merge with technology, we're gonna become iron man, sorry to the DECELS out there you're NGMI" it's like corporate channer speak. absolute all-time bit.
