no, i’m not, i’m advocating for solidarity, the exact opposite of what you described.

accelerationism is evil, it’s a sacrifice of vulnerable people/groups to try and shock less-vulnerable groups into action. it doesn’t work, it has never worked and will never work.

you need solidarity. you need to work towards building it. that means you need to accept that you’re not always right and that other people have valuable perspectives.

when there are enough people on our side we will be able to change the system without excessive violence just through withholding our labour.

sorry, but no, this is a really bad idea.

you are now becoming a trump supporter as your way of fighting trump

if accelerationism worked, it would have worked before now, things have been dramatically getting worse for decades

accelerationism is one of the ways they trick us into supporting their goals. don’t fall for it.

we need solidarity and we need to take bold action collectively. ignore neoliberals, go throw molotov cocktails at parked cop cars. it’s a lot more effective than accelerationism.

wait so the people doing the work don’t get paid and the people who get paid steal from others?

that is just so uncharacteristic of capitalism, what a surprise

i know that, i mean among the working class. tolerance for listening to a friend spouting nazi shit and fascist shit has been pretty low until recently, dogwhistles not withstanding. i mean there’s a reason they dogwhistle so much, it’s because their views are roundly rejected and they get bullied when they don’t hide their beliefs

if that level of hate, aggression, suppression, etc. isn’t enough to prevent the rise of fascism, it won’t be enough to slow or stop it either. we need different tactics

thank you for your thoughtful comment, sometimes it’s tough, i wake up to usually 10+ replies telling me i’m wrong and that i’m basically hitler, and a bunch of DMs just throwing hate at me, so nice comments are a nice change of pace!

btw, if it helps, i’d totally press that button if it existed! sadly, it doesn’t, and can’t exist. fascism isn’t something that you’re born with, it’s an evil that grows inside us. none of us are immune, and probably all of us are dealing with a mild infection.

that’s where all the hate and vitriol comes from. that’s the dark part of us that enjoys seeing others suffer, and wants to solve our problems with violence, and wants to see everything in black and white.

we’ve been violently anti-fascist for nearly 100 years now, nazi is literally one of the most insulting things you can be called, and most people would happily look the other way if you punched a nazi. if violence and hate was an effective way of fighting fascism, we wouldn’t be in this situation. it’s just not effective

maybe you could approach me with compassion and try to understand, instead of just riding in on a high horse to pass judgment

or don’t, believe what you want. i know i’m right.

doing the right thing is often hard. i’m gonna keep punching nazis, but when i see trump voters having their lives ruined, i’m going to put hatred aside to try to create a better world. you may not agree with me, but i hope my comments moved at least a few people.

people can change their minds about stuff, you know?

not that i really advocate for anyone to engage with someone who willingly accepts the label of fascist or approves of fascist ideology

i was really more aiming towards the people who aren’t fascist but got misled by misinformation and propaganda, than outright fascists

dehumanizing people is the first step on the road to genocide.

if you could click your fingers and everyone who voted Trump died, regardless of how they now feel about it, would you do it?

but honestly, it’s not a safe space, i’ve seen anti-trump people be really homophobic, sexist, racist…

sometimes it’s hard to see that big of a difference between trump supporters and the people who really aggressively hate on trump supporters.

thanks for your comment, and yeah, more or less! it didn’t happen immediately, and i was never extreme far right, but it was definitely a big change.

i’m guessing you don’t really know much about anarchism, outside of movies and such - it’s actually a very coherent, orderly and sensible approach to the world. honestly, by comparison, all other ideologies are delusional, anarchism is the only approach which makes sense.

i’d recommend looking into it a bit more, if you’re interested.

you can get a raspberry pi and install something called pihole on it, it’s a DNS server with ad-blocking. basically, it converts a domain name like example.com into an IP address, but rather than just faithfully supply DNS, it also effectively blocks some adverts by acting like the domain names don’t exist for servers that run ads

once it’s set up it’ll just work, and it should protect everyone on your network/wifi from some ads

thanks for your comment, i completely understand your perspective, but, you know, they say exactly the same kinda stuff about the people that they hate. it makes me uncomfortable seeing MAGA reflected in their enemies

something something gaze into the abyss something

i totally get that! we can’t all be perfect all the time, and i totally get that for some people they’ve just been hurt too much to ever have a shred of kindness or sympathy towards the people who are at least partially responsible for that pain

i just wish that people could be a bit less hateful, at least. reading the comments in this thread is honestly quite scary. i don’t like seeing just… pure hate, from people i would like to be allies with. it reminds me of the hate right-wingers have tbh

hell yeah, great message, thanks for writing it up!

you should copy and paste it somewhere else so more people see it

don’t get me wrong - fuck that guy, he had a choice, and he chose the more harmful option.

but i mean, let’s be real, the guy got scammed/tricked by republicans into voting against his own interests, and now has to deal with that realization, plus the stress of losing his job, plus also now he has to listen to people saying “i told you so!”

there are two paths from there - admitting he was wrong, and doubling down. it’s hard to admit when you’re wrong, but it’s much easier when people are understanding and compassionate, and much much harder when people are making fun of your misfortune and having a “told ya so” victory lap

it’s really tempting to give in to the urge to clown on these people for bringing this shit on themselves, but these are the moments where a bit of compassion can change the world.

by all means, though, if it’s not for you, that’s totally understandable, i just hope you can kinda see where i’m coming from, even if you don’t agree

thank you! i try my best, but i don’t always succeed!

i totally get what you mean, and of course i would never ever push anyone into it. i just read some kinda dark comments in this thread and i wished that people would be a little more compassionate

i know they don’t deserve it, really - and i totally get how you can think of it as “aiding the enemy” or something.

but i genuinely believe that we can reduce harm just by being a bit more compassionate, a bit more patient, and a bit less aggressive

fascists believe that the world is polarized into “us” and “them”, and they believe that “them” would stop at nothing to destroy them.

just a simple act of compassion can show them that there are choices beyond destruction

i totally get that, i really do. and if you don’t think it’s right for you, i fully respect that choice, and besides, some of us still need to be the “stick” so that the “carrot” gets put into perspective!

thanks for your reply! <3
