  • 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.


  • Accelerationism isn’t actually real. This decade imho has proven that the shifts necessary to bring about the end of capitalism or any other system are so large that there pretty much is no way you or your individual actions would mean anything. What has caused US power to weaken over these two years? Multiple wars on different fronts that were caused and exacerbated by US meddling in global politics and the inability to manage its plans. That’s just one example but there are many others. There’s no reason to call yourself an accelerationist or subscribe individually to accelerationism at that point, all you can do is form opinions and actions of the events as they unfold really, but it’s not like you can affect them one way or another. You can get involved in collective action obviously, but that doesn’t make you an accelerationist imho.




  • The best example of American propaganda was a video I saw of a marine who had fought on Iwo Jima who said “how come there’s so much emphasis on mount suribachi and the flag raising? While they’re putting that flag up I’m losing men. It’s a good symbol or whatever you want to call it, but what about the rest of us guys?”

    That’s some absolute helldivers or starship trooper shit to put up a flag, not when the fighting is done, but in the middle of a combat zone while other guys are bleeding out and screaming around you all because it looks good in silent black and white.
