Accelerationism is frustration from being powerless over it. It's swimming downstream instead of upstream; either way the river takes you where it wants to, whether you fight it or not, but it feels like you're doing something swimming with it.
You have to move sideways orthogonal to the current to get anywhere. In this sense you change the culture not the politics.
R party is always going to be lesser of two evils and the only thing you can do about that inside the system is vote in the primary, but most of the time that doesn't actually matter. You have to change the middle to change the parties (that's how they changed the D party into being psychos, they propagandized D voters into thinking the middle was way out in crazy land).
But culture is more like a swamp than a river and you can change it a little bit at a time around you. That's what you should do, and that's what Asmon is doing by highlighting all this politics instead of playing games, and even talking about accelerationism is really to rile people up and change the culture around inaction and complacency.
...change the culture not the politics...change the culture around inaction and complacency...
Yup, that's what I've been realizing recently. A huge core problem is that the people aren't educated or aware enough to demand change. You need a solid people to get a solid government. You have to wake the people up, and then things fall in line from there.
...only thing you can do about that inside the system is vote in the primary, but most of the time that doesn't actually matter...
You should still absolutely do it, though. There are always a few high profile primaries that can change the politics/culture both. Brandon Herrera vs Tony Gonzales. Casey Putsch vs Vivek Ramaswamy. Those would be big swings, and I hope they go the right way.

Good way to think about it.
