I seriously doubt that the Wall Street situation can hold out until after the Senate Filibuster situation gets resolved, if they ever do remove or water down the filibuster at all. So this seems like a likely outcome.

They're gonna bail out Wall Street again. Fucking again.

And not just bail them out. IMMEDIATELY bail them out.

    yeah but its not us doing it. its them doing it. we just need to pick them up, like a friend in an abusive relationship who needs things to get bad enough before they'll accept help for themselves or criticism of their wonderful perfect beloved shithead.

      Wow that's actually the best accelerationism analogy. The longer an abusive partner remains stable and ok-ish, the more harm it can eventually cause. Not wishing for the abusive partner to be violent per se, rather understanding that they likely must show themselves for who they are for it to ever come to an end.

        right. and as the friend who's been telling them it's a terribad idea FOREVER, this is the time we need to be there, telling them "this is next", rather than "I told you so" or claiming their going deeper into the abuse is praxis.

        I'm not an accellerationist, I don't think you need to do the bad shit to take advantage, but it's happening, and this is the time to get people woke. there's an audiobook of conquest of bread on librevox, i might make another that doesn't start off with a dispassionate halty voice or heavy sometimes-obfuscatory accent before getting to the really good readers.

          Does a significant amount of people really call themselves "accelerationists" without irony? The concept is understandable, people 'feeling accelerationist' is understandable, but as a personal descriptor it seems silly and bad.
