The people online are real people. They have a wide range of beliefs. And again, it’s not just people of one political position who are accelerationists. Communication online is no less real than if it was had in person. It’s no less effective than any other form of communication. If people can be convinced by someone talking to them in person they can be convinced by reading text on an electronic device. The medium of communication does not legitimize or delegitimize any idea. The fascists use every medium of communication at their disposal because they know this. We should do so as well.
I do live in the real world. So I refuse to call it early. I have had experiences on Lemmy that contradict your argument. I personally know your argument’s position to be false. I’m happy to talk to people in person when I get the chance, but I’m going to do what I can online while there is still time. Refuting accelerationist arguments is the least I can do. It’s effective and more people should do it.

Okay.
