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.

    Yeah I’m apparently not communicating well. I’m saying the attitude that is willing to open the gates to fascism arises from a belief that human rights are assured. In the natural order, human rights are not guaranteed and must be maintained by people and civilization

      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?

          I hear you :( wishing you a significant and speedy recovery!

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