is there any method to the madness? I stumbled upon some stuff and its horrifying, but could be understood from a very neutral perspective. Is it entirely full of racists and reactionaries?

I mean it is rather obvious that accelerationism in the US would just lead to fascism, but that is sometimes even the goal of "left" accelerationism. To create an America that is exclusively america focused, lead by idiots that don't understand the importance of Americas imperialism when it comes to their own prosperity.
The goal is to promote an isolationist hyper capitalist America, that would fail quicker than capital could react. The goal of that accelerationism is not to help save America, but to help save the world from America.
Now having a fascist nation is always bad, but having an imperialist/expansionist nation is arguably worse for everyone around them. There are not that many important exports from America that the world relies on, mostly just copyrighted things. And America has little to none of the Lebensraum ideology that made the Nazis expansionist.
I am not advocating for accelerationism here, I dont think "sacrificing" hundreds of millions for a risky gamble would be worth it, but I think this version of accelerationism is still far more realistic.
Then there's the third option, an imperialist / expansionist fascist nation that tries to do a genocide speedrun. I'm aware the right wing of the GOP leans towards isolationism, but Bush already showed that you can be a unilateral isolationist who hates international institutions and still be an expansionist warmonger. The US is just not weak and tiny enough to make them the non-expansionist kind of fash, if there even is such a thing in the first place.
This is not directed at you, just saying that the people you're describing are missing the elephant in the room when they think it's either imperialism or isolationist fascism.
