How "accelerationism" supposedly works:
-
Terrorist attack
-
The government uses the attack as an excuse to take away rights and freedoms
-
The populace freaks out over losing freedoms and overthrows the government
How "accelerationism" actually works:
-
Terrorist attack
-
The government uses the attack as an excuse to take away rights and freedoms
-
That's it. Nothing else happens.
I'm willing to bet that a year from now, the political climate in Australia and New Zealand will not be markedly different from today. There will be no "escalation", no further conflict, and no real change in the lives of people, except for the loss of free speech and gun rights in the wake of the recent attack. The attack and subsequent removal of rights will not prompt any mass awakening or popular revolt.
History shows us this is what happens every time. You can look back at many similar attacks that were later used to justify the removal of freedoms, and there was no mass revolt afterwards, and those freedoms were ultimately never restored.
I'm happy to debate this. However, time is all I need to prove me right. If "accelerationism" is correct, then New Zealand, Australia, and likely much of the West would be considerably more violent and conflicted by the end of this year, possibly even engaged in some kind of civil war. If I'm correct, then they will be basically the same except with less freedom for the average person. At the end of this year we'll see who is right.
Civil war and "accelerationism" are pipe dreams. No one can tell you when these will ever happen, although they tell you they'll happen "soon". This is because they're illusions with no basis in reality. They're fantasies somebody came up with because dreaming of an epic societal collapse is less work than raising a family or building a community.
"Accelerationism" is a path to losing freedom, nothing more. It is a path to failure.

You were losing it all anyway... tomorrow... 10 years time... what's the fuck difference. You could have got out a white marker pen and written something decent instead of that wall of cucked failfag text

"You're going to lose it anyway, why not help the government take it away from you faster!"
And you call me a failfag?

No the point of accelerationism is to force you all to take a stand whilst the numbers are still on your side... if you were never going to make a stand then you deserve to lose it all anyway... so what's changed?

Okay. I have a few simple questions for you.
If accelerationism is true, where do you expect the political situation of the world to be in a year? How about 2 years? How will the average person's life be affected? How do you expect the average person to feel or respond? When do you expect the full "collapse" to happen?
The problem with accelerationism is that it has no standards. People have been using these tactics for over a century and they have never worked. Hell, Charles Manson tried this exact thing over 50 years ago and it didn't work. The only things that ever happens is that rights are removed and people get more brainwashed.
Accelerationism is a lot like communism. Communism has the stated goal of creating a better society, but every time it is tried countless die, and then the communists walk away and say "oh well, maybe it will work next time". The stated goal of accelerationism is to get our rights and freedoms removed by the government, and that will cause people to rise up. Except the people never rise up. Rights get removed and are never restored. Just like the communists, the accelerationists have no standards and no ability for self-analysis. EVERY TIME THEY TRY THEY FAIL, and yet every time they walk away and say "next time it will surely work". In the meantime our societies become less and less free, as the accelerationists happily fuel the leftist propaganda machine and turn the masses against the right.
If the goal of accelerationists is simply in setting us back, removing our freedoms, and ensuring a better and freer society is less and less likely, their track record is excellent.
