Whenever I talk to any Democrat supporters, they by-default cheer their Presidents and then I’ve to remind them of their leader’s illegal wars and war crimes. They condemn those acts and they go back to their cheerleading role - Why do they keep forgetting atrocities committed by their leaders? Why do they accept war criminals as their leader?

    Accelerationism would mean accelerating the growth of the empire to bring about its collapse under the weight of its own contradictions, so, voting for the best imperial managers to keep growing the empire. That means voting for Democrats, they’re better imperial governors. They’re better at doing war crimes and getting away with it.

    What I want is for the empire to lose. That’s not accelerationism. That’s revolutionary defeatism.

      No. It means picking the person who will accelerate into whatever calamity which will cause a collapse.

      I feel like there is a lot of revisionism of the definition because the definition is inconvenient to the opposing argument.
