If this is a slow board why are accelerationists allowed here? They conflict with the very structure of the board.
Also slowpost your favorite deceleration authors.

Does Tolkien count as a decelerationist?

>> No.13372737

>>13372724
Sure. Since there’s no such thing, any escapism can be “decelerationist”

>> No.13372763

>>13372737
escapism is absence from reality, in this it is accelerationist, because without participants the system collapses

Yes. The entire plot of his LotR was in a way a story of the fight against industrialization and the new world order/ one world government. Tolkein himself detested industrialization and was well aware of the future implications of the mere invention of the combustion engine.

Merely claiming that an idea doesn't exist does in no way make the idea not exist.

It's said that the books shouldn't be seen as allegorical, but I know for a fact they are.

It is indeed a very colorful retelling of the Arthurian legend, but the backstory to Sauron (Saturn, Satan, Set) will reveal the true meaning of the story. And the corruption of Saruman (Solomon) completely fits the narrative.
