Accelerationism is a bigoted ideology that seeks to pit the minority against the majority during a state of economic and political collapse. It looks okay in a vacuum and on paper, but the reality is that in the event of widespread instability sociopaths would almost certainly seek power by convincing the majority population that it's minorities are the root of all their problems. You now have a second Holocaust on your hands.

Furthermore, I'm almost certain that it is spread by Nazis seeking to harness the left's hatred of the West in order to achieve their goal of "cleansing the white race" because I've observed that accelerationism is extremely popular with Nazis. They believe that a collapse will allow them to exterminate anyone they believe to be degenerate or inferior without being impeded. The extreme left, like always, is getting suckered into believing in a post-crash utopia and is helping them spread their disgusting ideology.

Sir, you are almost certainly a Nazi or a Nazi's unwitting cockholster. That makes me extremely disappointed because I know you didn't used to be like this.

You wanna make a real change? That means you have to actually get out from behind your PC and start targeting common "issues". You have to tackle the "problems" that the US is facing head-on. None of this cowardly, keyboard-warrior bullshit where you simp for some kind of fake, Nazi-inspired utopia and hope that something better will replace the US when the US collapses (spoilers: it'll only get worse). You have to actually take matters into your own hands.

You won't though, because you don't actually care, you just want to watch the world burn. You've drunk your flavor aid and now you're dying and can't see straight. Your mind has been poisoned to the point where you can't see the harm that your rhetoric threatens or who your rhetoric actually serves. As such, I'm not interested in arguing with you because I know you've convinced yourself that you're right and as such, nothing I can say will convince you otherwise. I'm more concerned about others following you while believing they're somehow doing good.

I'm not a sir, I'm not an accelerationist, and I actually do care. Unlike these fucking self-absorbed liberals, I care about groups like Palestinians, immigrants, and the many, many demographics we exploit for our well-being. I'm sorry you libs don't give a rat's ass.

[โ€“] Fal@yiffit.net 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No one believes that you actually believe any of that.

If someone can't believe that anti-fascists exist, then I'm not sure what to tell you

[โ€“] mrpants@midwest.social 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We believe anti-fascists exist and are extremely important. You just seem to be an idiot.

[โ€“] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"Opposing a fascist nation is idiotic" -definitely an anti-fascist /s

[โ€“] mrpants@midwest.social 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Brilliant take. What's it like being a reactionary with leftist aesthetics? Does Putin pay you for this comrade or is it all of your own volition?

"Everyone to the left of Reagan is a Russian psyop/bot"

I'm getting a blackout on my neoliberal bingo card today!

You come up with an unusual opinion, people answer with counter arguments, and rather than explaining your position you come back with one liners that bring nothing to the discussion.

Do you have an example where the downfall of a society was beneficial to its citizens? In the last thousand years? More than one, so we can see that it's generally a good thing?

[โ€“] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's beneficial to the world if a genocidal regime that also virtually enslaves people in the global south collapses :3

[โ€“] tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So, you don't.

Alrighty then.

[โ€“] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's interesting you seem to think that exploitation will... Slow down?

Lol

[โ€“] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The downfall of a genocidal regime would certainly help

[โ€“] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Do you think it's downfall would be brought down by someone better?

This is depressingly naive...

[โ€“] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's enough for me just to smile happily at the idea of the downfall of a horrible genocidal state that has brought nothing but oppression and destruction in its wake :3

[โ€“] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is like being happy an evil company is going under while the CEO and their cronies have already taken their golden parachute on the next project.

Like... Nothing's changed. The entity is not a person. Nothing has been stopped. If anything they were just allowed to get away with it, while the suffering of everyone affected remains.

You're allowed to be happy, but you're naive to think this is the end of anything... Or even a push in a positive direction. No one's going to let you have that narrative when it's presented openly.

"We can't be happy Jeffrey Dahmer's gone because there are other serial killers afoot"

[โ€“] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Inequivalent. Jeffrey Dahmer was an individual. My argument was on organizations that the guilty individuals had already left.

[โ€“] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I'd celebrate their demise as well. If Amazon collapsed right now, it would be awesome.

[โ€“] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

See previous comment about golden parachutes and implosion of organization.

Yours is the same logic used to sue companies instead of people.

This is feeling petulant so I'm taking my step out now. Hope you find the joy you're looking for, but seeing as you noted earlier that you live in the USA and noting the instance you're posting from, I suspect you know all about what will be coming around the corner for trans people should the states be allowed to implode on itself.

Yeah, surely the state-sanctioned oppression of trans people will worsen if the fascist state collapses /s

[โ€“] oatscoop@midwest.social 21 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

collapse

Yeah ... it almost certainly won't. The world's largest economy and millitary will still be unmatched, except now they're under the control of mask-off christofascists. They're evil, but unfortunately they're not stupid.

Everyone in the free world will be in for a bad time to varying degrees. I can promise you the new regime won't be isolationists.
