This is what I’ve been telling the accelerationists for a decade. You don’t know what’s going to step in and fill the political vacuum (I mean, we do now and it’s angry white men playing at being gangsters) but I guaran-fucking-tee you it’s not going to be the social democracy or socialist utopia that leftists want. It’s going to be a bunch of thugs looting and burning govt for personal gain.
But THIS time the people will SEE and then the neoliberals won’t have any support and the proletariat will finally rise up!
The proletariat: exhausted cricket noises
With Meta, Google, Amazon, and Apple on board the fascist train I don’t think the people will see. The revolution will not be televised because algorithms will filter it from our news feeds.
That’s why the Fediverse is so important but even if it succeeds and people can communicate freely we need to then worry about AI generated propaganda flooding and poisoning the well. Whether that be text, images, or videos
I’m not optimistic, but, there’s still a glimmer of hope deep down inside somewhere
I think you’re right. It could seem worth it in the end, but not for a long while and maybe only in the perception of a future generation.
Accelerationist view has always been that you need a fascist driven collapse to shift the pendulum back to progressive peace.
The US empire shifting to more explicit domination of its colonies instead of wars it cannot win, is provoking the CIA/establishment world order to double down on CIA enemies list, potentially embracing US extortion with massive weapons purchases to fight US enemies on its own. The brainwashing in service of US empire domination is so established that evil and hatred is our new identities, because of our misplaced trust in the CIA owned politicians ruling our colonies.
The reason accelerationism isn’t an actual solution is that revolutionary change it might breed/catalyze will be based on reactionary hate more than reason/shared prosperity.
Still, the war on US colonies and Russia was always a deeply anti human US empire move, and it would be surprising that no mental clarity from colonies can arise to free themselves, even if that takes more time than a week. That breaking US empire fascism was so easy without a civil war, is a big win, when time passes for you to understand it.
I feel sick that was so goddamned embarrassing. And all of the demented rapist’s toadies climbing over each other to stick their tongues in it.
Jesus fucked up Christ
W Bush was the collapse, this is the looting
“First as tragedy, then as farce”
The supreme court handing the Florida election to W was the tipping point. We still could have pulled ourselves out of the shit at that point. It would have been ugly and Republicans would have fought it every step of the way but that was the opportunity before the far right media networks had consolidated their holds on radio and TV.
Did you guys know that this fiasco unfolded under a bust of Winston Churchill?
Double irony here.
“You’re all dressed up today,” Trump said sarcastically.

I’m sorry, how is the hegemony collapsing? The ruling class is still ruling; and that’s kind of the problem.
The US ruling class is losing its allies it projected hegemony onto.
The us ruling class has its allies holding power in every branch of government. And is both projecting and subject to global hegemony.
The US ruling class is losing its international allies it projected hegemony onto.
