Accelerationism: the obscure idea inspiring white supremacist killers around the world
How a techno-capitalist philosophy morphed into a justification for murder.
Blaze Bernstein, age 19 at the time of his murder, loved to cook.
Before he traveled back to his home in California for the 2017-ā18 winter break, the University of Pennsylvania sophomore had been elected managing editor of a campus cooking publication called Penn AppĆ©tit. Itās a position he ended up never filling.
On the morning of January 2, his parents noticed that heād left their house in the Orange County community of Foothill Ranch and tried to contact him. When he didnāt respond, they checked his Snapchat account and found messages between their son and Sam Woodward, a former high school classmate. The two had planned to hang out at a local park.
Bernstein, who was gay and Jewish, texted friends that he and Woodward were meeting for a sexual encounter. Less than a week later, investigators discovered Bernsteinās body in the park, hidden by a tree branch and a mound of dirt. He had been stabbed 19 times in the neck.

Authorities quickly identified Woodward as a suspect and found Bernsteinās blood in his car and on a knife in his possession. They learned that Woodward was a member of Atomwaffen Division ā one of the most extreme neo-Nazi groups in the country. He was arrested; he pleaded not guilty and is still awaiting trial.

Bernsteinās 2018 slaying marked the beginning of an extraordinary period of white supremacist violence ā a spate of murders and mass shootings that has continued through this year.
The October 2018 shooting at Pittsburghās Tree of Life synagogue was the deadliest act of anti-Semitic violence in American history. The March 2019 Islamophobic attack on mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, was the deadliest mass shooting in the countryās history. It was followed in April by another attack on an American synagogue (this time in Poway, California), and an August 2019 shooting at an El Paso Walmart that was one of the most brutal attacks targeting Hispanics in US history.
In late July, FBI Director Christopher Wray reported that the FBI had made as many domestic terrorism arrests in 2019 as it did in all of 2018 ā and further, that āa majority of the domestic terrorism cases that weāve investigated are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence.ā
These killings were often linked to the alt-right, ....
1. The alt-right is a term used by ws to try to co-opt much larger and diverse movements. I believe it had roots in GAMERGATE, which was about gamers liking sexual imagery, if I understand it correctly. so, I stopped reading there, any reference to it, is generally bullshit.
2. How many accelerationists are there? 12? 1200? 12,000? I'm leaning to the low end.
