A quick guide to all the insanity behind the Trump administration
"Right-wing anarchists" makes me wanna puke. I think libertarian freestaters is probably a more accurate name.
Maybe "Societal Collapse Accelerationists" would have been more clear. But accelerationist is the key word here.
I wanted to make it clear I was not talking about Marxist Accelerationism (the OG)
e/acc or technofascists
Not just techno fascists. There's a lot of these people who watched way too much Mad Max and think that when society collapses, they'll get to be Immortan Joe. They fantasize about being warlords with their own little fiefdom.
Russia fits in there somewhere.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics
Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".

wtf is a right wing anarchist?
Basically this:
I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.
“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”
“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”
“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”
The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”
“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”
“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”
He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”
“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.
“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.
“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”
It didn’t seem like they did.
“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”
Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.
I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.
“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.
Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.
“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.
I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”
He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.
“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”
“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.
“Because I was afraid.”
“Afraid?”
“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”
I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.
“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”
He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.
Christian accelerationists I'm assuming are those that want to force the apocalypse so they can force Jesus to show up?
Their all-knowing, almighty Lord is too dumb to know they rigged the event?
"Jesus hates this one trick to bring the apocalypse! Bomb the middle east here to find out!"
They don't see it that way, they think as long as the laundry list is finished, then the prophecy is fulfilled. You know what's worse then them wanting Isreal to be a war with everyone, part of the list is environmental collapse, very limited drinkable water, and unmitigated plagues.
Fuck, please tell me more, or point me to sources, thank you.
I was raised in the mornon flavor, but I've read it stems from other prophetic writing from other American new age Christian movements, a lot of it is reading Isaiah devoid of all context and usually verse by verse without much care for the intended reading.
I want to know more about the enviromental collapse and plagues, because that tracks so much with the entire world, and I want to know if people are so dumb, or if there may be some conspiracy behind it.
It's not a conspiracy, look if you want to call yourself a prophet and you want people two thousand plus years still taking you're prophecy serious, all you have to do is talk about things that happen and will likely continue to happen, war, famine, plagues, natural disasters, social upheaval, corrupt and violent authoritarian leaders, nations collapsing.
Preachers, religions they love apocalyptic prophecy, it really grabs desperate people attention and gives them an out ''my life isn't insane because of society, culture, or civil cannibalism, I shouldn't fight to change things for myself and others, It's just the end of the world and no one can do anything about it, so I'll give my church all my money because none of this matters anymore and Jesus will appreciate my sacrifice''
They've all been saying ''this is it, we're right at the end'' since forever, but Christianity specifically has always been apocalyptic, we don't have any writings from Christians until a good 50+ years after Jesus' death, they didn't bother, they were 100% convinced that was the end of the world and Jesus would return any day. Paul much later in time says paraphrasing ''I don't think you really need to worry about getting married and having kids'' because he was 100% convinced that was the end of the world and Jesus was coming back any day.
Much of the thinking on it today in the US has pretty specific origins and traits, but it does vary from sect to sect, researching it is pretty laborious, but you can trace a lot of it to specific people in the Americas, all you have to do is look into Christian dominionism, and apocalyptic new age Christian writing.
To your overall question, there's no detail in prophecy, that's a key feature of prophecy, saying ''Christ won't come again until the sons of Levi offer sacrifices to the lord again'' no further detail but for that to happen other things are required like the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem, and that requires many Jewish laws to be observed to dedicate the temple according to Jewish religious laws and customs. So there's a guy breeding red haired cattle right now so that if ever the temple is rebuilt, they can dedicate the temple which requires the sacrifice of a flawless red haired bovine that was never yoked, so this is the kind of things you see when you have heard about these prophecies all for life. As for people who want to actually harm others and the environment to force Jesus to return, that's mostly evident in apathy and a refusal to fix problems.
I'm just stumped that evangelicals were behind the Covid spreading as much as possible. And hurting the poor. And ignoring any climate disaster warnings.
It's just so mind boggling, that they expect their god to praise them for ruining his gift to them. There is no single thread of logic that I see in any of it.
Right wing anarchists??? Please delete and remake this.
