I’m honestly yet to meet anyone, online or otherwise, who genuinely advocates for the end of society as part of the movement’s program. The vast majority of revolutionary movements don’t build from the ashes of society, but rather seek to transform it.
Haven’t met that many, probably because I don’t browse those kinds of spaces.
Even so, at least from what I know, their whole shtick is that they recognize how Capitalism constantly gets worse and worse, how it drifts toward reactionary politics that makes working class lives worse and how this kind of process cannot be reversed without world wars (to get rid of overproduction and stimulate war time economy, ww2 was key in beating the great depression) or other massive crises. Reforms seek to slow them down to make things better for a moment, but accelerationism seeks to prevent those from happening so Capitalism reaches another crisis faster and people revolt, etc.
Even though I think it’s stupid, being on the same level as fanatical belief of deprogramite ML’s infesting this site that capital will die on its own and communism will naturally pop up like it’s a force on nature, it’s still at it’s core a transformational movement and not “kill peopleism”.

Never met an accelerationist before? Not even online?
