Accelerationism

[Socrates]

Jesn Baudrillard scares me in this regard, annihilation for annihilation sake!

Can you find the relevant quotes where he suggests that? That is certainly scary.

[Socrates]

I read it in Richard Harlands book Superstructuralism towards the end.

I'm just looking around now for more quotes.

Here is a PDF I just found that might be of interest here: http://sfbay-anarchists.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/benjamin-noys-excerpt.pdf

The comfortable well fed animal - I am not buying that. Everywhere I hear this, 'well there isn't starvation and poverty in my life, so I see no reason to take these things seriously' kind of chatter.

Accelerationism gathers pace due to apathy and the religion of comfort.


That is true, but I don't see people who are psychologically stable and fulfilled going out and robbing people.

The idea is, if you can get luxurious goods for free or cheaply or like anyone else and are on an equal standing and not mentally ill, why would you rob someone for it? If you do rob someone without sense or cause you are mad.

Enough studies seemto have been conducted showing a link between restricted resources and big differences in goods and means with increased criminality and violence among the more constrained and deprived group. Even in tribes, the tribes that were well fed were complacent and quiet, the tribes with restricted resources had developed extremely violent cultures and were maniacs. Complacency and "flabbiness" is what we are looking for in many ways. A tame society and a culture of easy free access and gardens and decency and manners. Not this sh*t. Where people feel they can't afford things so might want to steal, where food is expensive so people are hungry and angry and have to say no to their urges or sublimate their failed ability to get a tub of complacency juiced fried chicken with rape and procreation.

The more complacent and having needs met comfortably without strain, the less population and population growth too. When the animals are starving but not completely starved to death, they seem to breed wildly as a survival mechanism.

[Socrates]

Note the part about welcoming the apocalypse!

Gosh what the heck lol. I don't welcome any such thing that might put my complacency at risk or my person under threat of dominating force or unpleasant impact. The dream is to never work, to only play, and to live long and prosperously without effort. The elimination of struggle, pain, difficulty, discomfort, and immunity from conflict and tension. Literally to become increasingly invulnerable, able to get what I want with less and less effort just like if I wonder a thing I can find an answer usually online like if some actress is married. I want food to be like that too and medicine. I say I want this and there it is, no traveling, no wait. The healing machines keeping my body in perfect health and order and youth. When you are perfectly well, then what excuse is there except some incurable madness to go around stealing, raping, killing.

As regards the PDF - there's an interesting part about CCRU and Nick Land of Warwick, who wanted to dissolve the form of the subject and fully immerse into a post-human delerious state of capital itself, which went along with discussions of the New Right and what the author of the PDF terms Deleuzean Thatcherism!

That is interesting, as there was a huge movement from the right online that promoted the whole 'dissolve the ego' element, which sounded really spiritual and enlightening, but seems to have led the masses into a forced schizophrenia of sorts that fully accepts capital as the way to go.

I was subscribed to this channel more or less from the start of my time on YouTube, one of those weird coincidences.

[kFoyauextlH]

Haha wow! Yeah that sort of stuff seems to happen pretty often.

Still looks like Humanism to me.
