The speed with which Meta went from accelerationist to conservative to neoconservative is breathtaking. https://twitter.com/meta_nomad/status/953352579366432768 …

I don't even disagree with this. I question the neoconservative label though. Cannot one be both an accelerationist and *still* hold a day to day practical political perspective?

Great question. I think the question of how to tie accelerationism into more day to day stuff is left largely unanswered. Almost any other belief seems to theoretically nullify any claim to being an accelerationist.

Surely one can support the contemporary political position which they believe will "accelerate the process" e.g. many Trump voters.

D&G characterize the levelling process as occurring through the progressive deterritorialization and decoding of flows, which is that which the majoritarian political formations seek to prevent from happening (it is the "nightmare" of the political)...

This falls a too nicely towards the essay I just wrote. I, as do all other accelerationists, wish to see the acceleration of deterritorialization and the decoding of flows, however, these always exist within a system, which is going to promote or negate them: capitalism promotes
