What Is Accelerationism?
Junious Ricardo Stanton
“Accelerationists argue that technology, particularly computer technology, and capitalism, particularly the most aggressive, global variety, should be massively sped up and intensified – either because this is the best way forward for humanity, or because there is no alternative. Accelerationists favour automation. They favour the further merging of the digital and the human. They often favour the deregulation of business, and drastically scaled-back government. They believe that people should stop deluding themselves that economic and technological progress can be controlled. They often believe that social and political upheaval has a value in itself.” Accelerationalism: how a fringe philosophy predicted the future we live in. by Andy Beckett https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/11/accelerationism-how-a-fringe-philosophy-predicted-the-future-we-live-in
Ideas are potent things. Ideas rule the world. Out of ideas come language, culture and behaviors by individuals, groups, tribes, clans, nation states and regions. Ideas about life, its meaning, how to gain/keep power over others and good and evil ambition are the foundation of society, they form the values and agendas that motivate rulers and the masses.
In modern society there are people who are extremely selfish, self-centered, anti-social and reckless. They are called sociopaths and psychopaths. All too often these people attain leadership positions and they influence society to mirror their ideas, values, desires, motivations and goals. And the society despite what it may profess, reflects the mindset, ideas and values of these sociopaths. We see this today in the US and around the world.
Recently I came upon a new word while reading an article. Usually when this happens I look it up the definition then write it down for possible future use myself. That particular word that day was accelerationism. We can see the root word accelerate in it. Accelerate means to speed up or a change in velocity. When you look up the word accelerationism, you will see in most search engines two references and usages: one by a group of thinkers academicians and plutocrats who want to intensify and speed up social change and social engineering; https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/11/accelerationism-how-a-fringe-philosophy-predicted-the-future-we-live-in and the other by a group of white supremacists who feel the only way to save the white race is to speed up social upheaval and mayhem. https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/11/11/20882005/accelerationism-white-supremacy-christchurch, https://www.fpri.org/article/2020/04/the-growing-threat-posed-by-accelerationism-and-accelerationist-groups-worldwide/
In both definitions the thinkers behind the notion of social acceleration’s goals do not bode well for humanity. The plutocrats want to intensify their agenda for social re-engineering under the guise of The Great Reset also known as the New World Order. They portray themselves as progressive humanitarians who know best how to save humanity, change the planet and its’ contents and reshape it in their image. In short they have a god complex! These reprobates want alter not only the natural order but also humanity and our existent social institutions and replace them with GMOs, genetically altered humans, humans who are merged with computers (bio-digital convergence), “enhanced” or “augmented” by chips and DNA manipulation aka designer babies .https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-new-era-of-designer-babies-may-be-based-on-overhyped-science/ Don’t take my word for it read what they say here: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/the-fourth-industrial-revolution-what-it-means-and-how-to-respond/ or watch videos of them talking about their plans here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RhA_8Z50Oc
While the accelerationism proponents are correct, the existing system is predatory, inherently unfair and immoral, they do not care about our welfare one iota. All they care about is their lust for power, monopoly and control. Their agenda is to secure more power, more wealth and more control at our expense but under the guise of humanitarian change.
You ask, why should I care what some arrogant narcissistic billionaires, mad scientists, megalomaniacs and psychopaths plan for the future? Because what I am sharing is not science fiction, fantasy or some far off scenario, this is happening right now as we speak! Their goal is to set up a Neo-feudal techno-fascist global order with themselves on the very top as unelected, unaccountable and unknown overlords, with us on the very bottom with no political or economic power and their robots, Artificial Intelligence, chimeras and technocratic human minions in the middle doing their dirty work!
On the other hand the Far-Right, White Nationalists who embrace accelerationism see it as the only way to usher in a new white social order free of those they feel are less-than, undesirable or irredeemable. “The objective of accelerationism is to foment divisiveness and polarization that will induce the collapse of the existing order and spark a second civil war. For example, this was the strategy embraced by Seth Aaron Pendley, a January 6 protester turned would-be terrorist. The twenty-eight-year-old Texan was arrested last spring and sentenced to ten years in prison for plotting to blow up an Amazon data center in Virginia with the erroneous belief that doing so would ‘kill off about 70 percent of the internet’ and disrupt digital communications of the FBI, CIA, and other federal agencies. Pendley thought this act of destruction would ‘provoke a reaction’ from the ruling ‘oligarchy’ that would thereby convince the American people to take up arms against the ‘dictatorship.’” A Year After January 6, Is Accelerationsim the New Terrorist Threat?

Ideas are powerful things, they are mental energy and we need to constantly monitor our thoughts and ideation to make sure we are not harboring or intensifying negative thoughts feelings against ourselves and others or entertaining self-sabotaging ideation. We must also be aware of the ideas and concepts being tossed around and propagated by others and be mindful of their implications and intentions for our lives, health and well being. Accelerationism as it is viewed by the globalists and the White Nationalists is not in our best interest. So we must be cognizant and vigilant about the motives and agenda of both groups.
