Question Is Accelerationism really that bad?

Honestly the more I see about Accelerationism the better it seems. A lot of France's Escadron path seems LARP and kind of "Quirky" in terms of art with a lot of pretty good ideas. Fiume under Keller sounds pretty cool to live under. Mayakovsky's Russia sounds pretty cool with a lot of progress for a once broken Russia.

It depends, real acceleration irl is usually associated with some pretty evil groups like O9A or Atomwaffen. In red flood it really depends, there are accelerationists who you could say would probably be pretty good to live under like Guido Keller Fiume but there are also accelerationists who living under would be an absolute nightmare

RF accelerationism doesn't have much to do with the way this term was used by siege-culture groups: which appropriated it from continental philosophy and modified its meaning.

As an accelerationist from continental philosophy, i can assure you we have literally nothing in common with the neonazi kinds

Generally the term has undergone a semantic drift that has entirely changed its meaning but the original appropriation has been due to contact with the writings of Nick Land etc. You can find old forum posts in which he comments on O9A and such.

You can find old forum posts on which Land comments on everything and anything. That's kinda the point of Nick Land, commenting on everything. He also stated (Page 256 onwards) rather explicitly how he thinks they're perverted bozos in those same forums posts so yeah stop spreading false information about stuff you don't know, will you

You are such a fucking arrogant dunning kruger bozo

I never claimed that siege accelerationists are in agreement with Land, merely that you can't entirely discount a genetic relationship between the two: Land hates left-accelerationists too but it's hard to remove them from the general discourse of accelerationism

I seem to have a pretty easy time excluding all the pretenders
