I read your comments and watched the video. This isn’t my first time watching this video.
I’m trying to call attention to these useless attacks that disregard Palestinians.
The attacks, your argument refers to, are against accelerationism. Not everyone is going to use that term, but it’s clear based on the statement that is what they are referring to. Gaza was the single issue accelerationists focused on. The accelerationists and this meme are disregarding the Palestinians.
The commenter’s message and the video’s message are the same. We need to leverage power to help minorities. Arguing against that message is more accelerationism.
He’ll yea let’s call people unwilling to vote for someone who won’t stop the genocide accelerationists! Bad faith holier-than-thou bullshit like this is why so many people hate liberals, and will get absolutely zero support for democrats while turning a lot of people away. I’m saying as a Harris voter, it’s an asshole move to call Muslims and immigrants who refuse to vote for a president who will almost certainly do nothing but bad to them be their people “accelerationists” just bc someone else will do worse

People are claiming to be accelerationists, arguing that accelerationism is the answer to fascism, making pro-accelerationism memes. The memes have been in the lemmy.world Political Memes community but the rhetoric can be found in political discussions all over lemmy. I would say it’s commonplace at this point.
Their one issue was pretending to care about the Palestinians. After recent discussions I’ve had today and yesterday, it seems more obvious than ever that accelerationists don’t care about anything but being the most morally pure person in the room.
Have you seriously not seen anything related to that? Having the self-evident political discourse on lemmy pointed out to you is really the straw that broke your back on hating the libs?
it’s an asshole move to call Muslims and immigrants
Are you kidding? It’s mostly white people as far as I can tell. The Palestinians and Muslims I’ve heard from urged people to vote for Harris. Accelerationism seems to require a privileged mindset so a person can turn a blind eye to the actual plight of minorities.
edit: It’s Political Memes community not politics community for the memes.
Show me these people you’re talking who call themselves accelerationists. Because it’s starting to sound suspiciously like that’s just a label you’re applying to people whose praxis you disagree with
Watching everything burn isn’t praxis. Their strategy is to let fascists win, so they aren’t even anti-fascist. It’s self-defeating because it helps no one and gets us further from progressive and socialist goals.
I argue with a lot of people arguing for accelerationism so there is my comment and post history. Alternatively you could go through the Political Memes, politics, News, and World News communities. Political Memes would probably be the easiest to find relevant posts and comments.
The search bar is a helpful tool for this. Individual communities can be selected to be searched. Searching on accelerationism is a good place to start. Once you find some users arguing against or for this rhetoric you can review their comment and post history.
I have been participating in and following along with the political discourse on lemmy. Lots of other people have to. I’m not the only one who has noticed the prevalence of accelerationism rhetoric or the only person arguing against accelertionism.
I have looked at a few dozen of your comments, and absolutely none have advocated for making things go to shit in order to make society collapse, or anything remotely close to that, just people arguing against voting democrat, or even just people criticizing democrats. Why are you lying about the accelerationists that are supposedly everywhere?
You’re gonna have to do better than “look through my comments and a bunch of posts on different communities, I argued with a bunch of accelerationists there”. You’ve got a shit ton of comments, many are very long, and I’ve got better shit to do with my time than clicking all your comments and all the comments on all the posts on all those communities and ctrl-f’ing for the word accelerationist. Please link or quote a comment where someone is literally arguing in favor of accelerationism, or if you can’t, just stop baselessly calling people accelerationists
