Any number of deaths is worth the fantasy, apparently

As an anarchist who is opposed to accelerationionism, it’s frustrating how many people see it as an ideology that wants the state to immediately collapse.

I’ve had multiple arguments with liberals who say I’m not a real anarchist because I want pragmatic short-term progressive solutions like Medicare for all.

So yeah, I’m not wanting to condemn people to death for my ideology. Got me!

Republicans and Democrats are both perfectly ok with state violence so long as it’s against brown people, and preferably overseas. How many millions have died from lack of access to affordable health care and an almost non-existent social safety net in the US over the past century? But those aren’t counted as ideological deaths for some reason? If you think that choosing either of the two main parties which both have an official policy of supporting foreign genocides is the lesser evil somehow, you’ve been duped. America has killed more people in wars in the past 20 years than nearly any other state, except perhaps for Russia. You’re just bent out of shape because that state violence has been turned on the domestic population for once. Anything has got to be better than the status quo.

Anything has got to be better than the status quo.

Spoken like a true child of privilege without any imagination - or understanding of conditions outside of your cozy status quo, ironically.

Can you stop attacking people and argue on the topic instead? Are you able to?
Tell me more about how anything is better than the status quo shitposting in the cozy West. I’m sure Palestinians are lining up to give you lot asspats for how brave you are living here and ensuring that fascists win and uncork infinite military aid for Israeli genocidaires.

Yeah whereas you’re over there, in america, simping for the party that gave infinite military aid for israeli genociders.

You don’t have to use the french word, btw, it’s cringe.
