Right Wing Accelerationism

[Anonymous No.12597636]

Hello, I´m trying to get into right wing accelerationism, How do I start reading? Is there some kind of manifesto like the #accelerate one for the left wing version?

Read Land's article on Acceleration here:

https://jacobitemag.com/2017/05/25/a-quick-and-dirty-introduction-to-accelerationism/

He recaps his understanding of everything.

What people call 'right wing accelerationism' seems to me highly apolitical. Like reading Land go on about autonomous capital strikes me as completely removing human decision making from the equation. Accelerating techno-capital has nothing to do with hierarchy or tradition, or anything else 'right wing'.

As I understand it Land sees Progressivism as a kind of obstacle for capitalism to overcome, but he sees all of humanity that way, so it's hardly right wing, it's just misanthropic.

Nick Land's Twitter.
The HBD biblography: www dot humanbiologicaldiversity dot com
Steve Sailer's blog (not explicitly accelerationist, but will help you grok the modern american right wing mind)
Moldbug www dot unqualified-reservations dot org

that's a good start

Idk much about accelerationism but is it primarily a political theory? I've heard some people use it to explain socio-psychological phenomena

honestly idk shit. Anyone have a unbiased description of what accelerationism is? What is the base underlying principle?

It's kind of spread out over blog posts, Twitter posts, interviews, Youtube videos (some of which are unlisted), etc. Not so much books.

Left acceleration barely existed, and no one even takes it seriously anymore. Representatives of Unconditional acceleration have been fairly silent in over the past two years. Vast Abrupt (vastabrupt.com) aligns itself with U/Acc and has a number of wonderful articles, but it isn't the most active site. Land represents the Right, but he doesn't really write directly about acceleration most of the time. It's more of a background thing that informs his thought.

To the extent that mainstream thinker engage with accelerationist ideas, these distinctions don't even come up. This, in a way, is a throwback to when these concepts first got introduced. At that time the word acceleration wasn't even used, let alone all these other subdivisions. Factions only sprouted up later when people sought to disassociate themselves from Land.

wow this is wrong. Land isn't r/acc, he's much closer to u/acc; u/acc seems to be the default position today. l/acc is by far the most sucsessful branch of accelerationism, stemming directly back to the CCRU through afrofuturism, xenofeminism, ect. I can't think of a single r/acc thinker accepted in academia. that being said, l/acc pretty much disappeared after Fisher died, but xenofeminism is very much in vogue. r/acc is the branch that pretty much never existed, there were a few larpers who like to meme Moldbug but overall they end up sounding more like cyberpunk-fashwave than legitimate accelerationist theory. Chances are if you're an accelerationist today you are either trans, communist, or schizophrenic (not slander, that's just the way it pans out).

I might not see the full picture, but it sounds complete bullshit to me.
- How can he unironically believe that "maximalizing security" could lead to anything but a dystopia?
- How would states be disincentived to not militarily fuck up all the others?

Land has much to say on this. It basically comes down to game theory and MAD.

>-How can he unironically believe that "maximalizing security" could lead to anything but a dystopia?

Patchwork is all about city states doing there own thing. Some will seek to maximize security. These states will either thrive or fail.

start with Singapore. how did they do it? or his notes on trichotomy. he's got interesting things to say about lots of stuff; my own sense is that he was always looking to corporate formalism (later, BTC) as the only conceivable ways to box in the fundamentally schizophrenic human drives that propel capital.

http://www.xenosystems.net/trichotomy/

there are ways of handling governance sanely, but mainly for him they begin with a sharp departure from anything that looks like moralism in party politics.

>How would states be disincentived to not militarily fuck up all the others?
i think the idea would be that trade and business in the long run would be a better look for all. obviously there are holes in this argument as well - sometimes war is good for business too - but i think his feeling was that disinterested intelligence production and Moldbuggian SovCorp formalism would disincentivize people to make war when you can make a lot of other things potentially more useful.

NRx utopias are cyberpunk dystopias flipped inside out and romantic as fuck. they aren't airtight, and lots of guys in that world have been spending years poring over Jouvenel or Schmitt or whatever else and trying to figure out the concept of sovereignty as such. Land has now basically committed himself to writing about BTC and the Nakamoto paper as - so he thinks - a rigorous contribution to transcendental philosophy, with perhaps the hope that eventually political theory will catch up with it. i'm not NRx myself, i don't know. but that was more or less the narrative as i understood it.

even if you were right (you aren't, it's boomer fodder) focusing on transgression rather than speculative ontology is part of the reason r/acc was a total failure

you seriously think there is somethign more transgressive than praising Hitler? It's quasi illegal

[Anonymous No.12598193]

>>12598142
how about a performative ontology of transgression? insurrectionary satanism, immanent terrorism, the positing of Hitlerism as immanent-Kalki principle? The present techno industrial cybernetic control system is a product of the war effort of the 40s- it was designed to do one thing and one thing only, that is, defeat Hitler. Likewise the whole ideology of liberal progressivism critikal theory etc. was a pure reaction to hitlerism. These systems were refined during the cold war, but hitler remains inscribed within the whole vortex of it. hitler is the implied eschatology. Managerial liberalism, the whole trans fad phenomenon, we as humanity only put up with this shit because we are told the alternative is going full Hitler. and you can't go full Hitler. but what if Hitler is the lesser of two evils? what if trannies are worse than Hitler?

doing coke and banging hookers is actually illegal, not very transgressive though. Hitler worship is transgressive the way wearing a make America great again hat is transgressive; it "triggers the libs" but literally does nothing to the status quo. Chopping your dick off is unironically more of a threat to the order of things than the desperate reterritorialization of the socius around the despotic-body of a 20th century German autocrat.

Not comparable m8. It is quite literally illegal in some western countries. Although the maga hat is largely more edgy than being trans as well

Chopping your dick off doesn't threaten anybody, and the entire establishment is shilling for it right now, how can you see it as transgressive? Even if by status quo you mean capitalism, you are in no way threatening capitalists by cutting your dick off. And it's not like international capital wants a Hitler style America, the very idea horrifies them.

All this leaving aside whether the ruling class are truly capitalist shills at this point

always pick deterritorialization over reterriorialization, otherwise you remain vainly gesturing against the motor of modernity

[Anonymous No.12598225]

If you read Land's blog, he thinks some of Moldbug's ideas are painfully naive. That is he is trying on some level to contain the threshold forces, that cannot be contained axiomatically. What he does sympathize though is that Capitalism in its present condition is greatest threshold of "controlled anarchy" global society can afford. But Land doesn't think axiomatically like Moldbug does, so accelerationism is in some sense unconditional, the problem is how to make do with the present situation without total endemic collapse, though I am not sure if Land really wants to avoid such an event.

but its just so lame. like you could argue furries are a form becoming-inhuman as well. Like furries, trans people are hardly a threat to civilization, ludicrous creatures definitely not worth taking seriously. Hitler Cultists? now we are talking

funny you mention that; I have unironically made the argument furries are prime cosmotechnics and a perfect example of the integration between digital personas into the physical world. Yes, furries are far more transgressive than Hitler cults, which again is a reterritorilization on the despotic-body of Hitler and not a true movement of deterritorialization

No, I just think it's incredibly anthropocentric to think we can theorize the proper social system to move the system forward, it's almost as bad as communism in it's idealist tendencies. Nick Land turned NRx because he came down off the meth, realized bladerunner never happened, and thus lost his faith in Capital and tried to save it from IQ shredding, ect. instead
