Certain strains of accelerationist anarchism, particularly those you find online, are just celebrating the oppression and death of minorities with a tacky veneer of “for the greater good” smeared over, change my mind.
People assume that human rights are in the natural order. Human rights are fictional and can be revoked. There is no such thing as an inalienable right. It's so funny how many of the people who have this foundational belief aren't religious.
Edit: since I'm no good with words: Fascism bad. Human rights not guaranteed. You've gotta fight for your right to party.

I'm commenting that this attitude is borne from the fatal misunderstanding of human rights. These people probably assume that from the ashes, a better world will rise.
The idea that there's rights you're entitled to just because you're a human being who deserves a basic standard of decency from your fellow humans is not actually just made up nonsense.
Some bastard with a stick can pretend they're revokable, but when the revolution comes for them, it'll be their head on display in the public square as the people celebrate the triumph of their liberties over some warlord with a deficiency of moral character.
Yes even if they're some faux intellectual who justified it with ass backwards "theory."
Accelerationists when the country they wish would seppuku doesn't just slip quietly in the night or disappear like they never existed and hundreds of millions of people die as a result of its death throes:
I'm still ticked off that user had the gall to celebrate collapse and call others racist. You don't support minorities when you want their circumstances to suffer.
That and they were saying something about natives running the country like they read the phrase land back once and imagined their own fantasy version of the movement.
Yeah like they are entitled to their opinion, whatever, but digging in and doing attacks calling folks racist for not 100% concurring was… rough. Did not love.
If it's any consolation, arrogance is one of the most enduring traits of America, and we've endured this long. I remember reading a book back in college about the foreign affairs of the US in its first 30 or so years of existence, and one of the things that always stuck with me, just a minor part of the book, a minor event, was a Spanish ambassador coming away from a meeting with American diplomats bemused at how highly they thought of themselves and how casually they treated him.
We don't have to collapse. Not yet. We might always be a little insufferable though.
Honestly I think they're betting they can threaten the lowlies who'll be in actual danger into compliance with their interests.
They see us as pawns, and when we refuse to be used as such they'll let us be martyrs to their cause long before they'll even tolerate us as agents of our own.
