i think it’s easy to make these sorts of claims because everyone is so vague about what “accelerationism” might even mean. most people seem to mean voting for a reactionary and not, for example, industrial sabotage.
Industrial sabotage only goes so far in the sense that you and anyone who planned it with you and definitely going to jail and are fucked. It usually doesn’t spur copycats or anything, but when they do they’re like decades apart from one another which is too long to make a difference. The funko pops still get made in the mean time unfortunately. That’s why accelerationism isn’t really a think an individual can subscribe to really. It’s much different than communism which has multiple avenues of approach ranging from super harmless to actively subversive.
no more so than any other political project.
