Ironically, if they would just own up to being accelerationists that want to make things worse because they think we are over the event horizon, they would at least have a position they are standing on.
But that's a fixed point, one that can be criticized and is full of flaws (like every other position they constantly decry). They can't actually have that, because if they weren't perfect then they'd look like hypocrites for attacking others for not being so constantly.
Its all about the purity spiral, just like it was for the Lefties.
It's just crazy to me what kind of positions these people can rationalize themselves into sometimes.
The Overton window has shifted so hard to the right in the past few years. Black fatigue has been a mainstream thing online this year, gay fatigue, Israel sentiment has shifted dramatically across the political spectrum. According to all of their supposed goals they're winning like never before in the marketplace of ideas. With Twitter pretty free, YouTube has been letting some crazy shit through lately. Yes the political side is bad, but I just don't get going full accelerationist unless we lose power totally.
The purity spiral is definitely a thing, but honestly it does feel manufactured a bit, its one of the things that makes me suspicious of Fuentes.
