Accelerationist vs. Buy Time

This is incorrect phrasing IMO. It implicitly presumes the "accelerationists" are correct. A more accurate phrasing would be Give up Power vs. Seek Power.

No of course not, but nothing is going to reverse the brazilification of our society. Once all of the older generation whites die out white people will become a minority in the country. https://theconversation.com/the-us-white-majority-will-soon-disappear-forever-115894

If that were the case then wouldn't we want to buy time to fortify?
