    There’s no sense in lashing out at nonvoters. We need to organize in order to make a difference.

      No sense, but I’d like to see the morons who kept bullshitting that there is any kind of sense in not voting. The dumbest fucking people anywhere

        It’s hard to understate how fucking awful the accelerationism was this last year.

            Accelerationists have never been right, their argument is self-defeating.

            The heart of the accelerationist argument is equating red and blue, claiming the blues’ inability to completely undo the damage of the reds is intentional and makes them no better – that the purpose of a system is what it does.

            But by that logic, the purpose of accelerationism is to enable fascist ascent, and that makes them indistinguishable from fascists.

            A burning building doesn’t get put out by watching it burn. And the fire can in fact spread to the next building. Things can always get worse because there is no bottom. Things will only get better by making them better.

            The accelerationists got what they wanted. And everyone, including them, are worse off for it. We’ve gone from not utilizing the limited time window, to avert the worst of climate change, to choosing to use that time to pollute as much as possible. We may in fact succeed in reaching 5°C before 2100.

            It’s likely because of them that this was the outcome. 81M votes for Biden in 2020 and 10K less this year when it really mattered?
