I hope you guys watch those videos, they are really good. Seek knowledge - seek peace - seek enlightenment. Troll the material forces who rule this little rock.

The only way I can see Accelerationism being useful is the Middle East. By destroying Daesh with nukes you could get Israel and Iran to realize they need to share nuclear technology. You could also turn people against the MIC and the politics of superstition. This is not going to happen for a number of reasons.

Marginalizing people is never helpful. Instead we should embrace them and change them. Yes America can use nuclear weapons and kill millions of people - but we need a clear and positive ideological reason for it. Trump supporters don't know reason beyond fear and greed.

Trump supporters are mostly just older people who were around when there was more lead in paint and in gasoline and stuff. And I guess maybe some of their kids. I know you're not being serious, but any reasonable person should have no problem putting these people in a corner and just pretending like they don't exist, forever. And for their part they're used to not being taken seriously by anybody in their day-to-day life, so it's not as cruel as it sounds at first, either.

Nah just marginalizing them feeds their persecution complex. They need to understand that they are stupid and juvenile and should sit down and shut up.

If Trump wins the nomination there are too many Red Team voters for any idenitifiable group inside the team to meanfully realize they are outside the mainstream. Even an embarrassing loss will see 40% of the population voting for him which seems pretty validated to me.

Which is why we should give them what they want - Daesh can be defeated in one day in a way that advances secularity and peace in the middle east and the world.

Socialism admits that it requires a new type of man, but its dreary utilitarian calculus has never produced a single one. Only the cause of a nation can elevate man and swell his heart to glory. Neither leftt nor right, but forward.

I admire their message but their practice left a lot to be desired.

The 'true' narrative is that of globalization. First humans went out of Africa and colonized most of the planet's surface - then things were more or less static until Columbus introduced Europe to the Americas. From the noble savage meme you get enlightenment ideas about how people are shaped by their social environment and integrating advances in transportation, communication, and so on leading to the present and the Anthropocene. Now we will either become cybernetic masters of the planet and ourselves or we will go extinct.

I'm voting for the Kaiser's war on France so the old order will destroy itself and my socialist paradise will arise like a phoenix from the ashes to redeem mankind.

World Wars 1 & 2 made the USSR a world power and justified a united Europe so you wouldn't be wrong.

Just the individual making that statement probably wouldn't live to see it happen.

Soon you could have your God - you can make it with your own hands.

If enough individuals were socially conscious on the 'Values And Lifestyles' index we could have a good faith society - the ecumenical holding company. But I fear there has been a conspiracy to mold less such people - not more.
