In a lot of ways I am privileged, yes. Aren’t we all? Tell you what though, I know some very much less privileged people than myself, that are similarly principled when it comes to genocide.
No, it’s because you are unaffected by the downstream consequences of your actions. You get to pontificate on social media about how you won’t succumb to the “two-party evil system” while going on about your day. Meanwhile, millions of Americans will be directly affected by Trump’s policies. Remember: the presidency is not one person, but also their entire cabinet. So everything from environmental regulations to women’s reproductive rights are consequentially downstream. But since none of these issues have any significant impact on your life and you have a very limited understanding of geopolitics you get to sit and preach to the world from your keyboard. If you want to be an accelerationist, then fucking embrace it and own up to the position. Don’t hold your tail between your legs and beat around the bush. You should actually vote for Trump and burn the place down. Own it --don’t be a bitch on Lemmy and abstain your vote. Just go all the way.
