wait so is accelerationism just "we're hosed anyway, might as well speed it up"? what even is the logic there

Political Accelerationism is like: "The existing system is lovely and it's collapse is inevitable. The best move is to speed it up so we can rebuild something better, sooner."

This is dumb for a variety of reasons, but that guy seems to be a Climate/Ecological Accelerationist which I dont think I've seen before and is even dumber. Building a better government from the ruins of the old one is at least historically possible, but I don't think you're gonna build a better biosphere.

I've always seen accelerationists as folks crowdsourcing their own suicide, that particular dude seems to be a bit more open about it.

some people got righteous about his calm hitler joke too lol

Which is really funny to me because it's not even a joke. Or rather, it's a joke about the D&D posters they get so frothing mad about all the time, by deliberately making the forum a petri dish to cultivate freakish debate club posting. You'd think at least some of them would realize that and laugh at it instead of terribly misunderstanding why it's funny.

The whole brick thing is weird because they're using cruel slurs I never even hard of until now for their posting enemies. Really digging deep into the slur draw pile to bully someone who is one iota less mad about Joe Biden being President.

once i tried to explain to someone in cspam that smoothbrain was just as ableist as the r word and they tried to argue with me that such a condition did not exist therefore it was not ableist... love that forum

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
To be honest, calling the “chaos begins to fascinate me” permabanned guy an accelerationist is ascribing too coherent of an ideology to him, I think. He’s a shut in wallowing in a depression hole because he can’t unplug from soul crushing online politics news. It’s like that story about how people volunteering at a soup kitchen were told the homeless coming in would violently trash the bathroom because doing that felt like the only thing they had control over. Except garbage bags at his work or some poo poo.

I don’t know if we’re doomed or whatever, but if the choice is between dying and keeping on living do what you can to keep yourself happy and healthy first. If you still have time or energy after to do something to make the world better, then go for it.

Its really funny seeing people who have hated D&D and everyone in it for a decade be like "D&D was good, actually, until Koos rules"

cant imagine why a bunch of nerds with crippling anxiety and depression issues circle jerking each other about how worthless life is would be a bad thing, didn't see that coming at all.

my political ideology is simple: i think sephiroth is badass and the things he says are cool and his sword is really long. politically speaking sephiroth sword is so long he basically counts as a ranged attacker; when he killed the snake with the sword i was like whoa. Sephiroth....
