How is accelerationism a "long term plan that thinks beyond cutting off your nose to spite your face"? There's no long term plan at all, it's simply a false hope that people will rise up when things get shitty enough, and from those ashes some kind of utopia will sprout. That's not a plan at all, that's just a dream.

It's a shitty strategy that's divorced from reality, but it does recognize the outcome of not electing Biden. Ignorant leftists on here purposefully ignore the results of their decision so they can feel justified. They want Biden to get what he deserves, but ignore the results of their actions.

It's ironic, because socialism is often associated with utilitarianism and consequentialism, yet these keyboard socialists valorize ignoring consequences.
