A nice and solid mockery of just how badly e/accs derailed their own plans by getting Trump elected. I’ll let the subtitle(?) speak for itself:

Effective accelerationists didn’t just accidentally shoot themselves in the foot. They methodically blew off each of their toes with a .50 caliber sniper rifle.

    Yeah, accelerationism before e/acc always had the consequential component of “society breaks down as a result of the rapidly worsening situation”. So like many things out there, tech people have co-opted this term and corrupted its meaning. M18n, in his deranged e/acc post, decided that the accelerationism part just meant the gotta go fast part; his assertion was that more tech fast == more society gooder, with no mention of “democracy collapses and the tech bros take over”

      To steal and butcher Davids/Buttcoins (no idea who came up with it) slogan. ‘they are explaining it wrong, but no they can’t be that stupid right?’
