Since accelerationism was coined in 2010, the term has taken on several new meanings. The term has been used to advocate for making capitalism as destructive as possible in order to cause a revolution against it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism It’s BARELY a change in definition. Most accelerationists in their delusion believe that we can ignore the bad/the contradictions in capitalism as we hasten towards some kind of technological or political salvation that will save us. This meaning just takes away the delusion and leaves the destruction, because that’s actually what will happen.

Lmao the term isn’t from the 2010’s what kind of dumbass wrote that Article? And what kind of dumbass goes to wikipedia for political education? That’s the same definition with less academic language. Accumulated capital within empire is the most destructive form. It is also not a definition that fits with what you wrote. An accelerationist is not just someone who “wants bad things to happen quickly.” Even within your doodoo brain definition accelerating the destructive forces of capital is significantly different from just “wanting destruction”. Of course one should not expect anything but asinine reduction of scientific terms from right-wing freaks like you, who do not seek to understand, but merely subjugate to serve your most immediate needs.
