   Heyo, I told you all these tech billionaires were nazis. I mean admittedly way less of you argued with me than folks did 10 years ago, but I did tell you - and now it's in the Guardian:

     "“Effective accelerationists” argue that human problems are best solved by unrestricted technological development."

     It's my belief that humans as a species lack the awareness, intelligence and responsibility to wield even basic technologies like agriculture safely and sustainably.
     The idea that we should allow arguably the least well suited demographic, i.e. unhinged narcissists, have unfettered access to godlike technology seems kinda unwise

     @Shivviness It's literally just re-worded nazism that puts tech bros in the master race slot. Like, I'm not even kidding.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites @Shivviness
     Frankly it's not even well reworded.

     The entire argument is 'Humans will exist in x years. We can make sure they're descended from you by doing y. Don't you have a moral obligation to your descendants to keep your race/grouping alive?'

     This is literally the entire 'master race' concept rephrased to get rid of 'and that's why we will defend all the lesser races' overt text (remember the nazi posters shielding black people?).

     We've through capitalism rewarded and promoted to positions of authority the worst, most cruel, bigoted of our number.
     I suppose what's somewhat concerning at the moment is the very fact that these fascists used to at least try and disguise their message, but more and more of them are out there now, e.g. Musk, just openly tossing around white supremacist rhetoric

     @AnarchoNinaWrites fascists maybe. But SBF is Jewish so the exact term doesn't add up. Imho
