i accidently walked into a vegan sandwich shop the other day while trying to grab a quick bite between classes and i was served the most terrible thing ive ever eaten in my life. it was a "seitan" wrap and it tasted like toasted unsweetened grain brownies with some weird creamy mayo substitute. and the guy that made it was a cranky gay japanese man with a tiny little knit beret. everytime i've ever gone into a vegan place its been by accident and im always like stop being prejudiced the food is probably good, people eat it and enjoy it but its always awful

warm bloodedness is a sick perversion. a crocodile your weight can live off of like 1500 calories a month.

all your produce is harvested by exploited labor, and most likely shipped in on airplanes and stuff, and probably grown in world-destroying ways

yeah, i keep on telling myself to keep an open mind that there has to be good vegetarian food out there, but every time I've been to a vegan or vegetarian restaurant the food has been absolutely disgusting. like i hardly need meat in every dish, but it seems like something happens when you become a vegan that you stop being able to actually taste food like the rest of humnaity and manage to fuck up the most basic of dishes
this shit is good.,.

yes exactly its like some kind of bizarre taste palette modeled on hospital and airline food
stuff that isn't trying to be vegan or vegetarian, like some indian or middle eastern dishes, are great

they need to eat a lot relative to their body size. this is why a lot of small mammals go after things high in energy like nectar or insects or whatever. you couldn't have a grazing mammal the size of a mouse.

small mammals in general are pretty fast and exert a lot of energy. fun to watch

i don't think there is a single person who self identifies as "accelerationist" alone, or believes that specifically but whatever
the way i've always seen "accelerationism" used, is with a notion of historical materialism in mind - that revolution is only possible when material conditions are right and not when trot pamphlets reach critical mass and everyone votes obama until reforms bring upon socialist utopia
rooted in historical materialism, by itself, it is not a complete or whole political ideology. as such, it's silly to see it being brought up and contended as a serious and radical ideology outside of marxism - because when it is pruned and out of context with marxist ideals, it's simply capitalism pro forma
either way, "accelerationism" isn't a Real Thing

someone said something about "unironic" accelerationists in this thread and i literally do not believe they exist. libertarians and their ilk actually believe if you salt and burn the earth then the Free Market will rise again and you'll have economic utopia. that's a pretty far cry from a leftist believing militarization of america to break up the black panthers benefited the global socialist movement or whatever

I think you are a bit strict with requiring an individual to take an ideologically 'pro-collapse' notion for accelerationism, a person doesn't necessarily need to wish for the crisis or promote it as much as it requires viewing it as an inevitability a sort of 'the ends will justify the death of billions' scenario.
a person who "believes" in some form socialist salvation yet awaits patiently for the final crisis of capitalism to come along while he cruises by living like anyone else can be considered an accelerationist of sorts.
but that's just how view it which might be dumb cause i am
it's a believee
