      I’m not going to end up getting killed either way, because I’m not an at risk person. I’m white, and I can do a very good job cosplaying as a christian nationalist, because that’s the kind of home I was raised in. And I can just as easily be comfortable with leftists, because that’s what I’ve been for 20-odd years (although the label keeps changing). On the other hand, my Jewish, Muslim, and Satanist friends, my LGBTQ+ friends, my non-white friends, they’re going to suffer and die because of accelerationist fantasies.

      You want to actually see improvement? Start building community locally, expand that into real local political power, and then grow that. It’s real work, harder than being a keyboard warrior. You’ll quickly discover that the very messy job of politics is building consensus and compromising. …Which you should already know, considering how excellent leftist groups are at forming circular firing squads.
