A society is always about 3 days of hunger away from a violent revolution. Start your clocks.

    A friend of mine was sincerely advancing the idea that it’s better that trump wins, because less-bad candidates like Harris just let people coast by without doing much as the world gets worse. He thinks something like Trump will be really bad, and people will demand more radical change. I think you can call that acellerationism. Pretty easy position to hold as a wealthy professional who owns property, I guess.

    Personally, I’d rather people organize and try to make the world better without the worst people in the world having most of the power. Seems easier that way to me.

      I find this to be the most common occurrence of accelerationists.

      The most willing to send millions to their graves to achieve what they believe is socialism, while they themselves will never pick up a rifle and fight for it.

      They’re identical to every fat cat chicken-hawk piece of shit that sends young Americans to die in wars for the profit of political donors.
