decay can be a form of acceleration.

True, except accelerated ecological collapse effectively puts to rest all of the usual accelerationist dreams.

yeah all of those critiques are on point. i guess i always equated acc with dissolution. i.e. U/ACC.

That’s also why I find u/acc more interesting than the other variants: it rejects their utopian end-states for an ongoing process. Yet it also takes the “There is no alternative” mantra to absurd lengths: at the heart of all acc. is a ceding of the future, not an invention of it.

There is no ecological panacea. That train left long ago. The earth is a wasteland and nothing can/will be done about it. To quote John Berryman: “... too late. This is not for tears.”

See, even that’s too confident a prognostication for me to agree with. No different in kind than Acc singularity simulated certainty. What’s interesting is that my orientation for patchworking is more about survivalism and anticipating future needs and modes of existence.

Agreed with both. An “ecological panacea” reads to me something like the l/acc variants (e.g. Solarpunk) where an eco-utopia is somehow supposed to emerge from our current mess. The future is much less bright, and ecological life dependent on salvage over salvation.

Your “salvage over salvation” reminded me of this piece about anarchism and ecological collapse:https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anonymous-desert …
