Because to meet its really only a couple and barely even that. It's the same corporate donors who set the rules of the game. It only works until we are hungry enough to smash the board into pieces that the game is finally over.

You realize that smashing the board will costs many deaths and much suffering, regardless of how noble it is to end the game, right?
I'm not after honor only survival
Who’s survival? Because plenty of pawns rely on the system to live, as fucked up as it is. When supply chains collapse or currencies are dissolved, what happens?
Anyone who came. Shit really is really fucked up
You mean survival for yourself, not for disabled people, desperate people, or unlucky people. Wait, no, your plan ALSO calls for your own survival to be imperiled. So you're not actually after honor OR survival, you're after half-assed social media dunks.
Or I suppose we could die waiting for the perfect plan that isn't coming. Nobody's coming to save us. We have to do it ourselves.
Let's be clear: a revolution would be a nightmare that would not achieve anything you want. But it's a moot point, because your plan is to start a mass populist movement... that nobody's allowed to join unless they listen to all the same podcasts as you. You're not good at math.
Accelerationism is just lazy & dumb. Have you met Americans? Did yall forget that when shit hits the fan, we cause *toilet paper* shortages because we’re that selfish? Revolution requires organization & action. Plunging society into poverty & chaos to coerce people into joining you eschews that duty
Psst just because the toilet paper wasnt at Walmart doesn't mean it didn't get where it needed to go
Psst just because you can afford to shop elsewhere or aren’t in a goods desert doesn’t make that standard in the US. And it’s just an example of desperation mixing with individualism to prevent rational cooperation. Now imagine the pervasive, long-lasting food scarcity Trump’s policies will create
If you don't seize the means of production how could you ever hope for rational cooperation ? Nothing changes if nothing changes that's to be sure
Who exactly, specifically, is doing the seizing and from whom? ‘Change’ in and of itself is not a virtue. It’s just as likely—or even more so—that we’ll regress from capitalism back to feudalism than progress to communism
I take it you prefer a low speed train wreck over a high speed single car rollover ?
Interesting variation on the trolley problem. But I reject the dualism here. You can make repairs to the train as it’s moving. Or switch tracks. Or slow down to stop before collision. Or ensure the passengers are in the back, securely locked in, so they’re braced for impact. Or all of the above!
And you are satisfied with the status quo. Let's see who's ideas are more popular
We already checked that, though. Your ideas are not popular enough to start a mass movement, and your main activity is gatekeeping your ideas so that they do not become popular. Oh shit, I'm sorry, I'm talking about the real world. That's not what you were talking about at all, was it?
Just remember my ideas take over when yours have failed enough people. Democrats make new leftists actually pretty quickly. I voted once. That was enough for me
Cool, buddy. Let me know when your ideas take over. Best of luck with that, and I mean that sincerely. I'll be over here in the real world. It's okay that you don't visit here, you've got your own stuff you're busy with.
Ad hominem
Like praxis ? Feel free to stop by anytime and give us a hand. No requirements just giving you a distraction from your need for ad nominee with people you've never met
A mass populist movement requires understanding that the true enemy are the elite 1%. The 99% includes blue & white collar workers, middle managers & the poor—irrespective of their identity within a specific sub-group separate from the rest of the 99%. Policies that rebalance wealth are necessary.
