Accelerationism is inherently reactionary and fascists have an actual plan for what to do 10 minutes after the social order collapses, while you more or less do not.
Look, believe whatever you want to believe and feel however you want to feel but please stop coming to my mentions saying "I can't wait for these bastards to lose to the nazis" because you're talking to a woman who is already dead if that comes to pass and I just don't know how to respond.

All of these people you want to punish are still going to die rich and happy whether the fascists win or not. That's why they don't care as much as you do.
Either way, if we could do less of "I can't wait till they're actually shooting people like you, that'll show these smug libs" in my mentions, that'd be appreciated.
You don't realize that's what you're saying, because you don't really know what a fascist takeover actually looks like. I fear you may learn soon but I won't be here to see it.

Fascists are not going to hand you a revolution; the very first thing they're going to do once they have the power to get away with it, is start mercing people who want a revolution.
If you want society to change on the scale necessary to end the fuck barrel, you're going to have to do something besides waiting around for the nazis to burn it to the ground.
I know you don't want to hear that, but history says it's true, and accelerationist fantasies are just a fast trip to a shallow grave.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I've said before that a holocaust is the closest thing there will ever be to a rapture, since it's the only time everyone decent leaves the earth as the earth turns into hell. There were intriguing thoughts: what if the Nazis only burn down the things I don't like. What if their militarization leads to them being prioritized for elimination over leftists by the establishment. What if the coordination and technology that emerges as the establishment either merges with or destroys the Nazis is easily hijacked by leftists who are watching and waiting. I guess these really were all unrealistic. I am tired. I was tortured as a child and now I see the already existing torture infrastructure becoming nationally normalized in full sight. I would rather have been killed as a child. I think a lot of trans kids growing up in coming years will wish they had been killed as a child. The knife is already in deep. There is a certain temptation to just plunge it further and twist.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
Likewise Mishnory ratchet anti-accelerationist fantasies: "If you don't pull this lever to save democracy, the fascists will take over all the sooner" is just acquiescence to a teleological fate one has already embraced.
So much "let's just take it slow," while waiting passively to be fucked—swooning for collapse.
Far too many have a romantic attachment to giving the electoral lever a hand job, rather than exhibit any liberatory libido when voting booth curtain ain't drawn.

@beadsland You will notice the absence of "VOTE" in my previous statements.
I can tell you what won't work; I'm not going to bother telling anyone what WILL work in an environment where that will almost certainly just get me in the clink.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
@AnarchoNinaWrites Oh, most certainly notice that. Only chose to add my two cents because knew you'd already put the rest of the dollar on the table.
Just contemplating recent early a.m. discovery of folk in your own mentions using "accelerationist" to mean "not into our fantasy play" or some such bullshit.
That anyone could mistake yours, of all voices, for accelerationism suggests the term has jumped a whole school of sharks in some corners of the discourse.

@beadsland I saw your posts, but I was actually just responding to the 3rd or 4th person the past few days responding in my replies something to the effect of "I can't wait for these smug bastards to lose to nazis."
They're welcome to that opinion, but it means I'm dead; so I don't really want to talk about it with them.
"You do you" is Eu-gen-ics.
@AnarchoNinaWrites Yeah, sorry, that was indeed your explicitly stated context. (So can't claim that I was confused.)
Please forgive my derailing.
