You're okay with more taxes, but you're an accelerationist...
What does accelerationism mean to you? And what benefits do you believe society gains from this?
P.S. For the sake of transparency, I'm not liberal; but you can call me whatever you like.
FYI, there are accelerationists on both sides. The ones on the left are just unwitting allies of those on the right because their ideology is founded upon the belief that, contrary to all historical data, pushing society to a more miserable place will magically result in widespread class consciousness and a workers' revolution.
This is something that has never happened in any major way in recorded human history and never because of intentional suffering. Generally, the historical results have been genocide and/or centuries of oppression.
I've noticed that many of these cruel and reactionary ideologies are not based in any historical data nor science. This is used to be called hysteria.
They still haven't answered either; so I can only assume they did not realize the contradiction between accelerationism and paying more taxes. Sad times we live in.
I've said this before to one of these types and then they started calling me a nazi. They're unhinged evil morons.
