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. No, people being terrible and turning to fascism is only happening because things are going so well, if we just ensure that things become terrible they'll certainly become rational individuals.

Accelerationism only makes logical sense if you conduct it via direct means of destroying the existing order in its entirety. Supporting your political opponents only allows them to reinforce their power within the system while changing it to their ends. Voting Bad Guys in an attempt at accelerationism isn't stupid because it hurts X group of people, it's stupid because it literally cannot achieve your alleged goals. Anyone serious about supporting it needs to get back to their place, at the kiddy table with their mouth shut until called upon.

Doomtalker posted:How can the reactionaries be convinced? Acquaint their heads with the pavement. There are two paths forward: Violently reject the system, or work within it. You are advocating giving up in a manner that allows you to continue stroking your ego, making you a fool and a coward.

Even the relatively young demographic of this forum, Gen X and Millennial, isn't going to live to see anything but a shittier version of what we have today, making the entire discussion more or less irrelevant. Just vote Trump so you can watch him tell Assad that he's fired as American boots hit the ground for the next phase of the endless war.

RODNEY THE RACEHOR posted:Do Not Give Sass to Me; a Population Bottle Neck is a reduction of the Population but Extinction is not a Possibility; however if the Climate under goes dramatic Change there will be a Distinct Possibility of Full Extinction; due to on going Effects of Climate Change on the Weather; Creatures; Human Health and Disease; etcetera; however a Major Depopulation Event (e.g. [for example] a Meteor Impact; a Solar Flare; Yellow Stone Super Volcano Eruption) will cause relatively few on going Effects; the Population that survives the initial disaster will likely survive to Reproduce; and Repopulate. You do not know any thing about Extinction Events; or Cheetahs; Genetic Diversity is not a Selected Trait; it is a Disaster Event for a Species. Is this poor literacy or schizophrenia?
