While I agree, considering Peter Thiel wanting all of this to lead to a government collapse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment)

and his influence on Vance https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jd-vance-trump-vp-peter-thiel-billionaire/

certainly means that the accelerationism won’t stop and I don’t think we should discount the power social media can wield

Social media and surveillance capitalism being used for "conservative" propaganda and disinformation are arguably THE leading cause for the size, scale, and success of the MAGA-fascist mental illness.
