    Silver lining is fine, doing things like advocating to vote for the worst possible option is not, or worse still are the accelerationists taking part in and actively pushing the far right further because they believe worsening the conditions is good.

      Unless you’re suggesting Joe Rogan or RFK Jr or Aaron Sorkin or Lin Manuel Miranda are accelerationists, I just don’t think we’re talking about a meaningful input into election results.

      the accelerationists taking part in and actively pushing the far right further

      I don’t think this kind of person exists in a meaningful way. Actual corporate fascists are pushing conservatives rightward.

      I don’t think we have the numbers to meaningfully affect the vote whether we’re advocating for accelerationism or not. The world seems to have chosen to make the lives of people worse, and many of us are just coping and hoping that the worsening conditions - which were coming regardless - will lead to a better outcome in the end.
