Can someone explain to me what this Accelerationist thing is? The more I read about it the less I understand it.What is the actual argument(s) being made in Fanged Noumena?
First I see Nick Land on Red Ice TV talking about Trump literally buying the US government, then I see people like Srincek who are apparently accelerationists too talking about UBI and full automation. So which is it? Is right-accelerationism an attempt to deepen and hasten the (actual or perceived) flaws in Capitalism, or is it a pro-capitalist position?
Why does Land call himself a Neo-Reactionary? When I think reactionary I think Carlyle, Guénon, Evola, yet wikipedia says this guy is a realist which seems counter to the kind of idealism the tradionalists espouse. In addition, the fact that this guys fans are a bunch of leftists, even nowadays, seems odd to me. Is this guy not alt-right? It seems almost unnerving to see leftists make memes of a guy who has alt-right talking points all over his twitter, although maybe it's just because I'm a jaded reactionary.
To what degree is this right accelerationism a right wing position? Does it have any connection to traditionalism at all?
What the fuck is Xenofeminism?
What the fuck is this faggot talking about: https://youtu.be/3QSOuVnFhEw
Where can someone who is completely and utterly lost start with this stuff?

Land's a continental philosopher who worked his positions through leftist continental philosophy that normally acts as a rightthink/wrongthink moral filter for its adherents. Where Land is good is that he allowed his ideas to naturally arrive at the wrongthink conclusions; Dark Enlightenment, NRx etc.

To do the same you need to follow the same tour of continental thought, much of which is bad and self-limited by never daring to stray from anti-fascism or anti-capitalism, and utterly dependent on untenable concepts derived from the labour theory of value via Marx's theory of alienation. It's trudging through poo in the hope of picking up a few gems on the way and perhaps finding a treasure chest at the end. If that interests you pursue it, Land is a good author and his works will take you on that tour. The Thirst for Annihilation offers an introduction to his thought. Your time may be better served elsewhere and you could just skip to the conclusions and read Dark Enlightenment.

Most contemporary continental philosophy is masturabatory genuflection to the idols of the genre (isn't Deluze so wonderful!), staid and boring. Even to Leftists, Land offers something novel and exciting; they are torn on whether to engage with the stimulatory novelty of his ideas or to no-platform him as a wrongthinker. Engaging with Land is better than tugging the *n*th handjob essay on how BwO can be tortured to describe (but not really) XYZ phenomenon.

I need to make this into a pasta
You should probably read meltdown if you haven't

if you just want a down and dirty introduction, start with something like
https://www.meta-nomad.net/nick-land-accelerationism-neoreaction-overview-guide
or

then if you want to keep going, move on to the introduction to FN (written by Brassier himself)
https://www.urbanomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Fanged-Noumena-Introduction.pdf
if you make it through that you can read anything in FN. mileage varies on comprehension of the weird stuff, though. archive over at /r/theoryfiction
