Unpopular opinion: America needs/ed this. They nerve truly believed that a Ceaușescu, Hitler, Stalin, Mao were possible in the US. Maybe one or two generations will suffer, but this is a required lesson, for the future maturity of the nation, long term. Assuming they come out in one piece at the other end, of course.
This is not rhetorical question: did accelerationism ever worked?
If only we could ask Baudrillard.
Accelerationism is to a simulacrum as the thing being accelerated (society) is to the simulation thereof (our idea of society).
Accererationism is what accelerationism does. It disrupts the status quo, for good/bad/otherwise, and largely independently of our personal stance on the goodness, badness, and/or desirability of said disruption.
The current volatility in the market is one aspect of accelerationism, and it seems to be working, in that the markets are still open for trading; many are making out like bandits. Perhaps that volatility as a market opportunity is the point.
Whether or not banditry is occurring is left as an exercise to the reader.
You believe the US on the path to killing tens of millions of its own citizens for the sake of some ideology like Mao, Stalin, and Hitler because a non-violent white collar criminal was given a shortened sentence? Interesting.
You can kill someone without weapons.
And just like the Great Leap Forward, America is well on its way to letting many thousands die from lack of healthcare.
By that criteria, Obama would be one of the greatest mass murderers in history.
Do you not believe the GOP eliminating SNAP, medicare, and social security will lead to the deaths of millions of Americans?
Do you not believe that Trump, who threatened extrajudicial killings of drug smugglers today [1], isn't going to abuse that power to murder any citizen he doesn't like?
Do you not believe Trump is a fascist, white supremacist, rapist, 34 time convicted felon, rapist, and pedophile?
>Do you not believe the GOP eliminating SNAP, medicare, and social security will lead to the deaths of millions of Americans?
I would suggest not equating libertarian policies with systemic genocide. How about we calm down?
>Do you not believe that Trump, who threatened extrajudicial killings of drug smugglers today [1], isn't going to abuse that power to murder any citizen he doesn't like?
I don't see any evidence of that yet
>Do you not believe Trump is a fascist, white supremacist, rapist, 34 time convicted felon, rapist, and pedophile?
I think he's a 34 time convicted felon, but I haven't confirmed the number.
