How could speeding up clown world be a good thing?
By getting to next social revolution sooner.
The people promoting "Accelerationism" have come to the conclusion that we are in such a dire predicament that only a major, possibly catastrophic event can get us out of this tunnel.
IMHO the simplest analogy to explain accelerationism is that of a drug addicted son: you first born son is desperately addicted to cocaine, the things he has done to pay for habit would make a transsexual prostitute vomit, when he is not a guest of the government in jail he ends up in different hospitals. You know that if keeps going like this he will eventually become HIV positive or die of an overdose.
You pray that he will hit rock bottom before he dies but you feel you can do nothing.
An accelerationist father would manipulate his son into a quasi-overdose, hoping that he will see the light, and get out of his deadly addiction.
It is radical thinking but it is not irrational: Accelerationists would like to do the same with our doomed deformed and dysgenic society.
