    The point of accelerationism (imo) is to ignore these minor issues so they can bubble up until the root cause is addressed.

    The root cause isn’t ICE, immigration policy or Trump, it’s global and national scale inequality where billionaires and mega corporations prevent wealth distribution and real change from happening. We need a party who is willing to nationalize corporations that break the law, delete the military budget, and make serious pushes for climate action the same way Trump is pushing Colombia to take back their immigrants.

    Until we get that kind of change, we will continue bickering over a couple lives here and there while the whole system heads for collapse.

      Yea… I don’t think you’re ever getting what you want at this point. If Trump has his way we’ll be set back another 50 years. You’re simply talking from a position of privilege because you aren’t getting deported. Must be nice to cosplay as cheguevara then go home and watch Netflix while America burns to the ground.

      Why do you believe giving the extractors/tyrants free reign will lead to real change? What if it follows the same trend of the last 50 years of things just getting worse and worse, while a large chunk of our populace implicitly accepts the normalization of it?

      As a person currently living in extreme poverty, I can’t afford to fight in a revolution. I don’t have a vehicle I would feel comfortable driving long distances, I have zero food security, and I rely on consistent access to medications I need to stay alive. I suspect these are realities people that want some sort of revolution are ignoring. A lot of people, possibly myself included, could die from secondary effects if we go that route. Personally, I would like to avoid a full on revolution as much as possible.

        I understand your concerns, but a socialist president like Claudia de la Cruz signing executive orders like Trump would likely not being about a revolution in which people suffer and die

          Cool. She’s lost in the noise of “other” that combined for 0.42% of the vote.
