I don’t agree with it but I can understand it somewhat. Some voters don’t care about (or hate) the people currently being directly threatened, and only want to see a major economic collapse. A Republican Party dictatorship could drag on for decades and deny them that quick decisive ending.
Accelerationists aren’t just a problem for the left. Crazies all over think they just need a little chaos to get their chance.
Most (leftist) accelerationists I’ve seen are either people that are just trolling, elitist tools that are going to be able to flee the country and set up camp in the Riviera or the like, don’t actually live in this country, or just armchair revolutionaries completely ignorant of history (1). Almost no one comes out on top - eventually the revolution calls for your blood, too. To paraphrase Tyson, all these revolutionaries have a plan until they and/or their families are up against the wall and get a bullet in their head.
Actually most of the rightwing accelerationists I can think of meet the description in the first paragraph, come to think of it.
(1) I seem to recall someone (Lenin?) calling this last type eggheads because they were typically fodder when it came to violence. I suspect none of the accelerationist theorists will be on the frontlines; all of them can go fuck themselves. Just because they seem to have personal problems they want to make an entire nation, possibly the world, suffer. It’s just so childish.
