Bros, I think that at least I found the answer to the problems of our society.

...OP found an enemy we can all unite against?

I tried reading it; nebulous motions but no hard prescriptions.

And the writing reads like flavor text fluff using an in-group cant. Why is it so purple and how did it manage to stay obtuse?

Accelerationist lit is obtuse in general.

Why do you need an enemy? Find a cause instead of trying to tear down someone else's.

This was kinda' my take as well. The book is only like 40 pages long, and while I can appreciate it's attempt at bringing a kind of accelerationist perspective to people who have literally never read philosophy or political theory before (seemed to be the target audience), the only real praxis it recommended that I can recall was something like 'make communities with likeminded people' and 'be ready to reject the contemporary system as it continues to fail'. Points for being somewhat collapse aware and queerpositive, but there really wasn't anything in there that you couldn't have got from reading one copy of adbusters, and they've been around, saying basically the same stuff, for like 30 years now.

It's like something you would give to your niece if she was getting interested in politics and also a teenager.

I'm going to try reading pic related to see if it goes anywhere or has anything more tangible to offer before I condemn the entire project to the bargin-bin of accelerationist thought, but my hopes aren't exceptionally high. Anyone here read this one?
