Being an accelerationist to my understanding is to want to use capitalism to cause radical social and economic change. If I'm wrong, please tell me. Fact of the matter:Never supported, voted for, or defended Trump. I have voted against him despite my deep dislike of neo-liberal ideology because it's not actively destructive like reactionary ideology. If saying "This is a shit situation we're in...

i agree, tho i would define it more broadly as "wanting things to go to shit in the hopes that itll motivate ppl to do something abt it and organize/revolt".

i appreciate that, tho i dont think i accused u of anything like that.

staunchly anti-capitalist

based, but again i dont think i claimed otherwise.. i hope u didnt misunderstand, i just thought u made some "accelerationist-y" arguments, which ofc doesnt mean they were intended that way, but they make it understandable to read ur position in that area.

iirc u also claimed that trump was no different than biden for ppl on food stamps, which to my understanding is a gross oversimplification of the situation (just one example: lots of ppl getting food stamps are not white, and therefore particularly vulnerable under trumps ice atm).
ive heard this often from accelerationists but also from anarchists who are just against voting, but either way, i think its a false claim bc it ignores any nuance. importantly tho, it makes the rest of ur position seem more accelerationist than it probably is.

and since were judging positions only from this one context, i think yours came off as somewhat accelerationist based on the above.

Was more offering my side of the arguments because I cannot see what was posted.
