I'm against accelerationism because while it will prove a bigger point to lots of people, people are going to suffer along the way: honest companies would go down with the bad ones, people would get unemployed due to woke graduates' decisions, and so on. I believe this largely because we can clearly see communism not being a good thing thanks in large part to communist countries enforcing police states, having millions die, and so on—the point is proven that communism is bad, but I'd rather want to prevent the tragedy than to allow it to happen and say, "See? I told you so." Alas, it's only easier to see once the damage is done, but still.
Unlike the rioters who want to burn things in the name of a good society, I'd rather see to it that universities like Harvard have reform from the inside. They used to be good, and they could be good again. Call me a Pollyana, but I'd rather hope than to watch the world burn.
