Maybe, hopefully, still not a great situation. The problem with accelerationism is that it tends to overestimate how sensitive the proverbial frog is to the water temperature rising. Bread and circuses are a powerful thing, even when they're just relatively cheap instead of free. "Creating more socialists than socialists have in years" isn't a particularly high bar. I have my doubts that the quantity is statistically significant, being exposed to the average American on a daily basis.

    I think broad success is going to come from finding people outside the "leftist" label that embody leftist ideals. I think there's too much online atheist energy for our own good, Christians can be a valuable asset if we can learn to leverage the teachings of Jesus. Red state voters have that dog in them, if you learn how to engage it. I think the main problem is that we let vocabulary get in the way of the message.
