Is this ironic? The Landian sense of the term seems quite different from the memetic version of the term used in the milieu of the internet. You rarely see people refer to it as positively directed cybernetics. You instead see some vague notion of hypercapitalism --> collapse.

Replying to @KoightVampff @AMK2934
I'm sure
@Outsideness himself would agree that the term "accelerationism" has been co-opted in a way that has not been seen since the unfortunate co-opting of the term "liberalism", right? There's a real divergence between the original, intended meaning and the common usage.2 replies 0 retweets 8 likes -
The proliferation of varying interpretations is part of the acceleration.

Well naturally, but re-analyzing the modern usage of the term in the context of the "original" meaning (or whatever one might interpret as the original meaning in the context of "now") still seems useful as a lodestone. Wittgenstein be damned in some scenarios

Also worth looking back to Deleuze & Guattari, Baudrillard also, as well as Land & Fisher. The latter two coined accelerationism (I believe), but the older thinkers spoke before that of accelerating the process. Acceleration when it was still an inchoate idea.

Also back to Marx and Nietzsche (at least).
