I've been spending most of my time in an accelerationist / nRX group

ooh

it's very interesting and civil but not very active at the moment

accelerationism sounds really really bad to me

worse than egoism

I'm not sure if I should invite new members unvetted but add me as a friend and I could pass along a future invite

It seems to be a collection of a lot of bad ideas but also in contmepating them one can figure out alternate routes

it's like on the same level as VEHMT

*contemplating

you know that one?

oh yeah, I had to google the acronym to be reminded

the voluntary human extinction movement

lol

I think I"m more aligned with them than the pro-natalist hyper Darwinians factions, to be honest

I understand Silicon Valley is big on accelerationism though

pretty troubling

But all of our own human lives and conciousness are in the Before of either of these ideologies endgames

it isn't so much in my understanding, more just normal capitalism, but of course the two will work together

there's both left and right accelerationism and a lot of neutral

why do people oppose free trade?

to protect their own countries perceived benefit / stability, sometimes

that reveals everything doesn't it

only the 1st answer that came to mind, I"d love it if any onlookers chimed in

@Brickiest Brick yes, keep staying cowardly

that one question

they want people to be dependent upon them and maintain power and control

that's why they oppose free trade

explain to me what it reveals as if I'm a totally blank slate, @Hooty

it's like a jealous boyfriend that doesn't want his girl to look at any other guys

so he keeps her at home all the time

locked away

there's something between universal free trade and entirely closed borders of trade

a lot of something there

hmm

well I'm a centrist so you could say I'm a social capitalist

collective individualist

that sounds like the internet

that graphic . how does this relate to humans irl / politics

or economics

not to sound demanding, just musing
