Nick Land is Shadow and Mark Fisher was Tails, but in a DeviantArt alt universe grim dark webcomic version of this comparison, which is applicable to the times.

no, druggie accelerationists are tweakers and speeders

and as it happens they use all their mania into LET US RUIN THIS poo poo AHAHAHA while thinking themselves as cool af people, but of course, they are just moronic dumbasses who are incredibly annoying to be around. smoking weed everyday and being totally chill makes you far more of a positive companion than those idiots

also worth remembering that nick land for real totally loving melted his mind on potent amphetamines of highly questionable quality for a couple of years and that is what made him spiral off so hard that he became a reactionary proto-cyberpunk crackhead that thinks the way to go lies in being eaten by the spiritual gestalt monster of neoliberal corporate capitalism and become a healthier freak than him

Nick Land burned his brain out on drugs and now he's just another reactionary worm-brained boomer. There was an interview a few years ago where he was straight up asked why he tweets like such a reactionary weirdo nowadays after having acted like a radical back in the day.

There seems to be a lot of engagements with contrarianism and Poe’s Law. Via @Outsideness you wrote: ‘Actually I like plenty of immigrants and black people, just not the grievance-mongers, rioters, street-criminals, and Jihadists that the Cathedral preaches incessantly in favor of.’ Don’t you here sound a bit like Borges (of the Tlon Corporation) advocating ‘liberty and order’ while supporting Pinochet, preserving or reestablishing the Human Security System? Isn’t all of this a far cry from: ‘Meltdown has a place for you as a schizophrenic HIV+ transsexual chinese-latino stim-addicted LA hooker with implanted mirrorshades and a bad attitude. Blitzed on a polydrug mix of K-nova, synthetic serotonin, and female orgasm analogs, you have just iced three Turing cops with a highly cinematic 9mm automatic.’?

[Long silence.] Let me see what is the best way to answer. [Long silence.] I don’t know, it’s difficult. I’ve got a whole ankle-biting fraternity on Twitter now. I am not identifying you with them, let me make that clear from the start, but I think that their question is very much like yours. One element of it is age. Youngsters are highly tolerant of massive incendiary social chaos. There are reasons for that, the best music comes out of it. It’s not that I am not understanding that, the whole appeal of cyberpunk is based on this. But I just don’t think you can make an ideology purely out of entropic social collapse, it’s not gonna fit together. It is not a sustainable, practically consistent process and, therefore, it’s a bad flag for acceleration. It produces a reaction that will win. All historical evidence seems to be that the party of chaos is suppressed by the party of order. Even if you’re completely unsympathetic with the party of order, and I am not pretending to be anything quite so unambiguous, it’s not something that you want to see. Nixon put down hippies, the Thermidor put down the craziness of French revolution. It’s an absolutely relentless and inevitable historical story that the party of chaos is not going to be allowed to run the process and will be suppressed. There’s obviously various types of aesthetic and libidinal attractions to it, but in terms of programmatic practicality there is nothing. What I would say to these crazy youngsters now is, you don’t have a programme. What you’re advocating leads perversely to the exact opposite of what you say you want.

You sound a bit like a Left accelerationist right now with all this talk of having a programme and ideology.

Yes, there is that problem, but you always have a practical orientation. NRx has a programme, even in its most libertarian form. It’s not a programme that is going to be implemented by a bureaucratic apparatus in a centralized regime, but it’s an attempt to have some consistency in your pattern of interventions. Of course everyone is trying to do that. Even the chaos fraternity, in so far as they want to be the chaos fraternity when they wake up the next day, have a programme in this minimal sense. And that sense, I think, is the only sense I would strongly hold onto here. A strategy.

never will be

I have the impression that Land wanted to be the one from their research group to go out by suicide given his incredibly self-destructive behavior and how crass he was about those matters but because Land was far more of a postmodern giggles irony guy he never actually gave a gently caress, unlike Fisher (who went on to become a far more significant influence in quite unexpected ways)

the thing about accelerationism is that it isn't a choice you can make there is still nothing you can do to meaningfully change things but now you get to look at horrible news and go "YES! ALL ACCORDING TO PLAN!" and then you get evicted and die of exposure

accelerationism is one of the most important intellectual frameworks that exist currently but I never understood how it accounted for the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, or the necessity to over-leverage consumers to keep neoliberalism going, or other types of diminishing returns that indicate there is a hard stopping point/deceleration for capital in the (possibly near) future

Accelerationism idea: privatize the military. Completely replace Are Troops with firms like Blackwater. Then when the military contractors realize they have all the power, they can coup the government and the communists can pivot to freedom fighting to overthrow the villains that killed America.
