To a certain extent accelerationism makes sense to me on paper but then people don't respond the way I think they will. Trump is a cheato fascist who tried to steal christmas; but naturally when he says he cares about democracy in Venezuela we support him.

News media is an auditory cancer that drives people insane.
Facebook and Twitter are somehow even worse.
Until those engines of propaganda are undermined or begin to decompose, we're stuck with a population constantly ingesting and then shitting out bad ideology.

the twin scientific principles of dialectical materialism and wishy thinking
