There is no such thing as too far. Even just 20 years ago, if you suggested that "changing your gender", "banning farms", "lockdowns" or "eat the bugs" would be a part of modern discussion, they'd lose their shit. But guess what? That the stage we're in.
Too far is a lie people tell themselves in the hopes that shit will start to revert. The only truth is that it can be too fast for people to accept. Throw a frog into boiling water and it'll jump out. Put it in cold water and slowly bring it up to a boil and it stays put.
Obviously, there are really fucking stupid accelerationist ideas as well. For example, the NZ Mosque shooter was an accelerationist, and he's rightfully behind bars. Terrorism doesn't achieve accelerationist goals, because it actually provides a tragedy and rationalisation for the extremist ideologies to be further pushed. Accelerationism works best when the extremist line cannot be rationalised with their pushes by utilising tragedy and such.
Of course accelerationsists have a point.
