Yes.

Maybe i should rewrite the above, i meant it as a self-critical observation of why i give into a lazy and narrow-minded worldview. I thought it was clear everything i wrote is the opposite of an endorsement

Honestly, the appeal of accelerationism to me is that it pretty much just requires me to give up.

I don’t think i’m the only one with a looming anxiety that capitalists are too entrenched to be defeated, that i can’t stop the ongoing collapse of society; well if i believe in accelerationism, then i don’t have to, the collapse becomes desireable if i can convince myself that a better world will emerge on the other side. It’s faster and easier to let society destroy itself than it is to built.

While my privilege is undeniable, subjectively, my emotional experience of accelerationism is one of giving up and relaxing. Which, you know, would feel nice sometimes.

So i know at least one source of accelerationist sentiment is rooted in fatigue and impatience, i know that because it’s the one i experience. The answer is an ongoing realization that progress is incremental.

Dude i remembered six months in advance and still lost my account because the process was a disaster. I haven’t played it since.

I was gonna say superhero movies but that’s more a thing of the 2020s.

Regardless, i think the current phase of Hollywood won’t go down in history, all these remakes being unceremoniously shoved into streaming services to be forgotten forever will leave a black hole where 2020’s culture should be.

Allright knuckleheads, here’s what you do:

  1. Follow people who’s content you’re interested in

  2. Browse Following and not For You

  3. That’s litterally it

I get so peeved when people browse algorithmic feeds and then complain that they see bad content. You fools. You cretins. I’ll have you know that i actually have a pleasant experience on Twitter AND THAT’S NOT A JOKE, i genuinely have a good time on a bad website purely because i stay away from the For You feed. It’s literally that simple. The only time i get conservative propaganda is when someone i follow quote tweets it with a snarky response.

I’ve had someone assume i was a nazi because i’m still on Twitter and i got a little (too) mad at them because we clearly don’t share the same reality. They browsed For You and quite rightfully left the site never to return, and they don’t understand how i’m able to stay; no shit, i’m able to stay because i don’t browse Following.

Now the thing is, this is how i’ve always used the internet, from the start i’ve built my follows list with this browsing habit in mind so i only follow like 200 people with the specific purpose of seeing their content; but for a lot of users, following is more like pressing “like” on a profile, and they end up following 5000 accounts. In that case you’re gonna get way too much content sprayed at you and pruning your follows list is going to take forever. I don’t know what to do in that situation tbh

An under-appreciated fact about fascists is their karen-adjacent sense of entitlement and victimhood. Which will be amplified if they become the target of violence.

As a lazy fuck who has let his dishes get gross and moldy more than once, i doubt these glasses are too gross to clean.

It’s even the case for physical media, like paper and carved stone, because over a long enough time people forget the language that they were written in. Historians had to teach themselves how to read ancient egyptian, and off the top i think a lot of Maya inscriptions are still a mystery.
