Zdzisław Beksiński. Untitled, 1973

Certain strains of accelerationist anarchism, particularly those you find online, are just celebrating the oppression and death of minorities with a tacky veneer of “for the greater good” smeared over, change my mind.

    okay yeah you might want to rewrite your comment lol I think I get what you’re saying but it was not at all clear from your first messages.

    “passivity leads to fascism; human rights must be fought for in order to be maintained” might be closer to your intent.

      Ehh I have COVID and the brain fog is real. Who knows what I’m even saying at this point. I read this interesting anthropology book that traced humanity from pre-homo sapien to present. It introduced me to the notion that human rights are a fiction. They only have any effect when we give them effect. Who knows if that’s even the right effect/affect?

        And affect is the verb, so you used the correct one here :)
