Rodatose posted:Accelerationism relies on the narcissistic belief that, if things got worse, people who were uninformed of systemic problems would come to see the same objective truth you see, because it's so obvious. When in reality, the perception of systemic problems can be shaped heavily by media, and those who are in power are going to have a better chance of coordinating their media to shape uninformed people's perceptions, and in doing so, convince them to work in ways to reinforce their positions of power. I believe in Accelerationism, not because I believe or even hope that the world will suddenly realize that they've been going wrong all this time, but because I believe the human species as a whole is fundamentally unworthy of continued existence so the sooner we gently caress off and let others have a chance the better off the world, and all its inhabitants who aren't us, will be.

Peztopiary posted:You don't actually believe this because you're alive instead of the alternative. Can't even revolt against yourself, though you're certainly revolting. While you're probably right in that I don't actually believe this, even if I earnestly did "Why don't you kill yourself" isn't exactly the greatest argument, since that kind of belief is predicated on things becoming more terrible, something which an alive human can contribute to much better, what with their continued using of resources.
