Chuck DarwinIn late December, a 26-year-old construction worker in Sarasota County, Florida, used his phone to send a flurry of ominous online posts.Alexander Lightner, tapping away on his Samsung Galaxy, announced his intention to commit 💥mass murder,💥 according to federal court records. He used the coded language of a new breed of neo-Nazis who call themselves <a href="https://c.im/tags/Accelerationists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Accelerationists</a>. Lightner wrote that he planned to become a “<a href="https://c.im/tags/saint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#saint</a>” — the term followers use for someone who advances their racist cause through lethal acts of terror — and to set a new “<a href="https://c.im/tags/Highscore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Highscore</a>,” or death toll.Lightner launched what federal prosecutors allege were threats on <a href="https://c.im/tags/Telegram" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Telegram</a>, the sprawling, no-holds-barred platform that has become a hive for the movement. 🔥Accelerationists aim to speed the collapse of modern civilization and create a white ethno-state from the ashes of today’s democracies. Deep in the chatter of the platform’s roughly 900 million users, these extremists have created a constellation of Telegram channels where they encourage followers like Lightner to assassinate political leaders, sabotage power stations and railways, and commit mass murder.A week after firing off his alleged threats on Telegram, Lightner woke up from a nap at his home to his father’s shouts: “Whoa, whoa, whoa. What’s this? Are these people here for us?”Lightner threw an illegal, homemade silencer into a laundry basket, according to a summary of his interview with federal agents. Then he stepped into the sunlight. In his front yard, agents in camouflage and body armor pointed rifles at him. An armored vehicle faced his family home, its massive battering ram aimed at the front door.An FBI agent asked Lightner if he knew why federal agents were at his door.Lightner answered simply: “Telegram,” according to court recordsFrom attempting to incite racially motivated violence to encouraging attacks on critical infrastructure, the alleged crimes planned and advertised by extremists on Telegram go far beyond the charges facing CEO <a href="https://c.im/tags/Pavel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pavel</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Durov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Durov</a><a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/telegram-pavel-durov-arrest-domestic-terrorism-extremism" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.propublica.org/article/telegram-pavel-durov-arrest-domestic-terrorism-extremism</a>

FeralRobotsAs a rule <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/doomers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#doomers</a> tend to be <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accelerationists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accelerationists</a>: They want the doom to happen because they're obsessed with rebirth narratives.Even though I believe a lot of the things <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClimateDoomers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ClimateDoomers</a> believe, I have a pretty strong conviction that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/accelerationist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#accelerationist</a> approaches are not only creepy, but fundamentally & disturbingly wrong.E.g. I'm pretty sure global population will be up to several billion smaller in fifty years. But I think doing what we can to ameliorate that would be a GOOD thing.
