Good luck explaining electoral politics to accelerationists, their political philosophy relies on not understanding that their methods only ever lead to more and more pain. The whole point is to make things intolerable to the point of revolution. Which would be very bloody in this country.
You’re right things are so peaceful in America today. Children aren’t getting shot in schools, black people aren’t getting beaten to death, millions aren’t dying from poverty or preventable health issues, etc.
This is like arguing killing a ceo is immoral because it’s violent while letting slide the people they kill through policy.
And letting the greater evil win sure helps all of those issues, doesn't it?
The greater evil always wins when you vote the lesser evil, can you not see the diagram in OPs post?
So I guess the best move is just to let the greater evil win anyway, right? After all, if the greater evil wins no matter what you choose, you have no moral culpability for your shitty choices and can continue to spread damaging ideologies without all that pesky guilt.
I've heard this song and dance before, and your lazy tautology tells me you haven't put much thought into your position. Or, at least not one that shows any humanity for those around you.
Accelerationism is for gormless stooges who support mass suffering and evil winning.
No, that is literally what has been happening for decades.
