    Your argument is what is known as a straw man. No where in my argument do I claim accelerationists are evil. My argument is that accelerationism as a strategy is useless.

    Your argument isn’t based on the discussions on Lemmy or anything in the argument you are responding to. If you aren’t going to engage with either of those then there is little point of continuing this discussion.

      Every conservative accusation is a confession. This applies to liberals too apparently. How in the heck are you gonna say I’m strawmanning you while literally calling people accelerationists when they don’t claim to be xD fuck off l*beral, from the river to the sea 🇵🇸

        From the river to the sea. I’m a social democrat.

        If you actually cared, accelerationism would bother you because they left the Palestinians out to dry. Trump being president may have killed Palestinian statehood. Israel is talking about annexing the West Bank. These election results have undoubtedly extended the genocide in Gaza for at least the next four years, assuming anyone lives that long. Israel wants to build a greater Israel out of Lebanon too and Trump is going to let them. Accelerationism is useless.

        🇵🇸

          Keep referring to Muslims and immigrants who want a president that won’t kill them as accelerationists, surely this time shaming people will get them on your side

            The accelerationists are predominately privileged white people who see Muslims and immigrants as the cost of doing business. Accelerationists seem to think they can shame everyone else into accepting genocide. No matter how much your argument or theirs tries to twist the truth, refuting these arguments will be trivial.

            This election we had a choice between a Democrat who wanted to end the war and a Republican who wanted Israel to finish the job. Choosing the Democrat was the most useful choice to help the Palestinians. The people arguing for things to get worse in the hope they get better by not voting Democrat are making the accelerationist argument. Those positions are in fact one in the same. Your argument is pretending they are different, but is unable to articulate any difference whatsoever.
