Working on a short book/guide on "Practical Accelerationism", all written in layman's terms. No ghey Nick Land sh*t or other outside influences, revamped and redefined by me (and potential some other notable badboys)

So then we are able to take Kaczynskis understanding of the material and psychological problems associated with tech and expand them into a new context. Deceleration is Primitivism with an understanding of accelerationisms description of technomodernity.
-
Dialectic with Land and D&G enable us to take Primitivism further because we incorporate a thorough understanding of how and why technocapital accelerates which is deeper and broader and has demonstrable predictive power.
-
Yeah i get that They both describe the same process, same sympton, yet different cures in a sense. With transhumanists one doesn't even see anything bad with the symptons or trajectory
-
Yeah exactly. It's the same reason a nationalist for example might want to have a good understanding of communism or globalism, or a hunter might want to understand the behevior of deer.
-
Nationalism can easily default towards Marxism (accelerationism towards class or civil warfare) because virtually all Marxist revolutions turn into hardcore nationalist states eventually because oligarchy becomes iron law within society.
-
That's out of the scope here for me, I'm just suggesting that you know your enemy as much as possible and that understanding acc gives Primitivism insight in this area which is valuable.
-
Oh I know, just suggesting as an example, most leftists are useful idiots to the power hungry types. If anything, even if they win they get fucked. And that’s fine. Plenty of liberal elite are virtually on somebody’s guillotine list regardless of radical leanings.

This is also why I encourage people to read baudrillard, because of his detailed and insightful map of modernity qua simulation. Decel is probably the most noteworthy development in primitivist thought in a long time bc of this. Think of it as elaborately "knowing thy enemy."
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Then why would anyone who's for good and natural order would subscribe to acc? I get it's a force/tendency one might stop, but I will not submit just because of that. Acc is literally admiting tech and civ is stronger than human will or nature. I'll keep my faith, even if blind.
-
I'm not suggesting you subscribe to the idea that it's good I'm suggesting you understand the process of technocapital acceleration so to better combat it. Clearly it's a process that's actually happening since we see the consequences all around us.
