>Is it worth it?
it's more accepting fate and stop coping than anything

After tonight I think it's the only way for the US.

Actual Landian acceleration, like as a philosophy? Sure, there's some interesting stuff in all that.

"Acceleration" that's just mental gymnastics to support nihilistic terror? No.

Really hate how the g/acceletrannies appropriated Lain.

It's the only way

yes
there's no reason to prolong the pain
just end it now

>>17221163
It's the only way forward
think about it

>>17222613
>forward
for you

Is what worth it?
acceleration is happening
>is it worth it?
What did OP mean by this?

accelerationism amounts to simping for anglo-imperialist hegemony an unfortunately i am on team china

>>17222635
>accidentally refutes Marx
damn lefties really are dumb

>>17221232
It was a shit animu anyways. Is quite pretentious.

Landian flavour should remain esoteric, so the conflation with wigger terror units is a welcome development. Now please, all of you, go die in a hole somewhere.

>>17221230
>support nihilistic terror
Don't be so dramatic you child.

>>>/lgbt/

yes

This is real accelerationism, not cringe theorizing over abstract nothingness and doing nothing

>>17221195
>stop coping
Accelerationism is the biggest cope, accept the status quo and do nothing to circumvent the process, but rather actively engage it.

>>17222863
All "smart" anime is embarrassingly pretentious schlock. See: Evangelion.

>Weak inefficient government always at the mercy of its people = Good
Americans are so fucking retarded lmao.

>>17223186
The status quo exists as a controlled schizophrenia, accelerationism seeks to exacerbate this schizophrenia to the point where control is no longer possible and the system collapses.

The Swiss, Germans, and Czechs all have better gun laws than the US will have in a few months.

>>17223201
And this is not a cope, how? You literally resign yourself to the system, you put your very TRUST into that system leading to the results you want. That's pure cuckoldry.

2021 shows a lot of promise, ngl.

>>17223216
You're describing doing nothing. Your options are to live within the system quietly or seek to break it via acceleration. Both are copes, there is no path in life - and especially modern life - that isn't coping by definition.

>>17223119
These : >>17223036 >>17223179 are what I'd call terrorist and nihilist respectively. People associating Technocapital singularity and all the rest of Land's work with mindless, depressive, action only tarnishes Acceleration's reputation and makes it difficult to talk about with anyone not into philosophy.

>>17223205
Nick seems to like trump, so maybe. I don't know if voting could really be considered "accelerating" though.

>>17223230
>You're describing doing nothing.
Because that's exactly what it is! You simply desire to reach your destination "faster", not fostering actual change.
>Your options are to live within the system quietly or seek to break it via acceleration.
Wrong, these are not your "only options" and never were.
>Both are copes, there is no path in life - and especially modern life - that isn't coping by definition.
Puerile drivel, values among individuals don't magically disappear.

>>17221163
I don't get "losing in order to win the rematch" in a system where the winner gets to change the rules and prevent rematches.

>>17223262
>Technocapital singularity

>>17223268
>Because that's exactly what it is! You simply desire to reach your destination "faster", not fostering actual change.
No change is possible within the system that does not serve the system. The clock is ticking for any level of prosperity to exist underneath the system for the vast majority of people as well due to demographic change and automation of labor.

>Wrong, these are not your "only options" and never were.
List your supposed other options.

>Puerile drivel, values among individuals don't magically disappear.
Non-sequitur gibberish.

Redpill me on how it refutes Marx

Transhumanist accelerationism is the only good form of accelerationism

Marx himself was an accelerationist nigger, he literally claims communism is the natural conclusion to capitalism and that it will happen no matter what

>>17223262
What a faggot
Why aren't they doing it for free?

>>17223277
>No change is possible within the system that does not serve the system.
Explain to me why that is.
>The clock is ticking for any level of prosperity to exist underneath the system for the vast majority of people as well due to demographic change and automation of labor.
What does this even mean?
>List your supposed other options.
Reject the system's values outright.
>Non-sequitur gibberish.
I'm saying values will never disappear outright no matter how much modernity attempts to subvert them, though I admittedly phrased it weird.

FUCK OFF TRANNY SPAMMER

>Transhumanist accelerationism
Bourgeois garbage

>>17223036
>Landian flavour
Holy fuck. Go back.

>>17223322
>Explain to me why that is.
Because the system has complete control of the mechanisms of change - predominantly the legal and legislative systems - and will not allow change to occur which is not conducive to its function. Further, the system is able to channel rebelliousness into forms beneficial to it, that is away from attacks on legitimate power structures and towards attacks on social codes and mores with act as barriers to commodification and potential sources of ideological or identitarian opposition to the system itself.

>What does this even mean?
It means that we are approaching a time in which a significant portion of the labor market is automated and thusly the capacity to earn a living via ones labor is at an end for the majority of the human population.

>Reject the system's values outright.
It's a meaningless act if you still live under the system. Rejection of it's values will not prevent your being required to work within the system to acquire money with which to pay taxes and subsist. Unless part of this is living as a hobo or illegally on public land or something to that effect.

>I'm saying values will never disappear outright no matter how much modernity attempts to subvert them, though I admittedly phrased it weird.
Values don't have to disappear, they just have to be no threat to the system's function. People can even be religious so long as they do not actively contest the commodification of sex, intimacy, and even their own religious symbolism and idols.

Reaching the destination is fostering change. If I develop an app that circumvents hippa and allows medical ads to be targetted better, then use my money to lobby for more radical medical treatments to be covered by insurance then I am accelerating the collapse of the current medical establishment. I am taking direct action to push the medical establishment closer to the cliff, sure I may be tethered to it too, but I'm looking forward to the rapid fall that's coming.

>>17223274
Land absolutely does not expect a singularity as reddit understands it. He expects something nightmarish and horrible, and not in a hopeful "evil but cool" way

Hokey theory bullshit by college twits.

>>17221163
Nice literature thread you dumb incel

>reading "#Accelerate: manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics"

This is why no one takes you lefties seriously.

>americans keep repeating how they can overthrow tyrannical goverment with guns
>take over capitol and shoot 0 goverment officials
When will you use those guns then cletus?

>when the accelerationist tries to make Kapital collapse by accelerating but only makes Kapital consolidate itself even more

>>17224616
>when the accelerationist tries to make Kapital collapse
this is the leftist cope
>by accelerating only makes Kapital consolidate itself even more
this is the only sincere form of accelerationism.
Congrats, you get it. Now stop pretending 90% of so called accelerationists really matter.

good goy
