Alex Newhouse, the Technical Director of the Accelerationism Research Consortium, dives deep into the unsettling world of militant accelerationism. He discusses how this extremist ideology seeks to exacerbate social divides and incite chaos, aiming for an apocalyptic vision. Newhouse reveals the historical ties to eco-fascism and the influence of online networks in radicalizing individuals. The conversation also touches on the challenges in countering these extremist groups and the troubling impact of occultism within far-right movements. It's a thought-provoking exploration of modern extremism.
