Decoherence Media has just published a really detailed look at the arc of now-defunct neo-nazi accelerationist group Automata, which seems to have had a small network operating in western North Carolina, Tennessee, and northern Alabama. They also evidently had leading members in Massachusetts and Florida.
This article gets into all kinds of connections they had, ranging from the early influence of right-wing pastor Rafael Cruz (father of Sen. Ted Cruz) on Automata founder Andrew Nary to crossover membership with the brutal online 746 network, which has often encouraged children to engage in acts of self-harm and share documentation of it.
Automata sought to create a small white ethnostate in western North Carolina.
Members have also had cross-membership with Patriot Front, White Lives Matter, various active clubs, Blood Tribe, 2119 Crew, and the National Guard.
Member Kai Nix pleaded guilty last year to selling weapons he stole from his post while serving in the US Army, and members Aiden Cuevas and Brandon Crews were arrested in Jan. 2025 for breaking into a nuclear power facility in Mississippi. More recently, Cuevas and Nary were arrested in January of this year for buying guns with the serial numbers destroyed, seemingly as part of an effort to kill one of their own members who they suspected of snitching. Totally normal stuff.

"San Diego mosque shooting highlights new generation of neo-Nazi accelerationism
Key Findings
• The San Diego mosque shooting was an ideologically motivated act of neo-Nazi accelerationist violence, but the attackers’ pathways into that violence were more diffuse than their target selection and manifestos alone indicate. While white supremacy was their primary motivator, their broader online footprints also reflected influences from nihilistic online subcultures.
• The attack is indicative of a broader pattern in which ideological extremism increasingly intersects with nihilistic violent subcultures. Across a growing number of cases, perpetrators have blended ideological elements with less linear online pathways influenced by mass shooter fixations, misogynistic grievances, obscure fandoms and/or transgressive online aesthetics.
• The case highlights an emerging fracture within the accelerationist landscape. While younger actors outside legacy accelerationist networks continue to borrow from traditional white supremacist ideology and attacker mythology, established networks often dismiss them as unserious, undisciplined, or ideologically confused. This dynamic suggests that accelerationist violence is becoming more fragmented and less subject to control by legacy extremist communities."

"The no-human future
Terrorists and tech bros alike view accelerationism as a revolutionary weapon. Nick Land glimpsed something much darker
(. . .)
In August 2024, ASIO, the national security agency of Australia, raised its terrorism threat level from ‘possible’ to ‘probable’. When asked what threats the agency had in mind, ASIO’s director-general Mike Burgess listed off the usual suspects: far-Right extremists and Islamic jihadists. But he also added a new candidate: ‘accelerationists’. When the perplexed interviewer enquired ‘What’s an accelerationist?’ Burgess responded: ‘It’s people with a far-Right ideology, neo-Nazi or even further, where they believe in white supremacy and they don’t like the way the world is run today and they want it to downfall to return things to what they believe is the rightful order.’
(. . .)
So, what is ‘accelerationism’? In the past decade, two forms seem to have consolidated in the public imagination. The first evokes violent terrorists like Tarrant. The second involves titans of the tech industry striving to build a ‘pro-human’ science-fiction utopia. But neither reflects the original and much stranger philosophy of accelerationism, which began neither as an ideology of white nationalism nor of techno-utopianism.
It began with one man’s ecstatic philosophy of human extinction.
(. . .)
As the 1990s wore on, the techno-capital machine emerged as a more destructive agent than any human insurrectionist could hope to be.
(. . .)
In the early 2020s, those doomscrolling on Twitter (now X) might have observed a number of prominent Silicon Valley tech bros – including Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of the first widely used web browser, and Garry Tan, an early employee of Palantir Technologies – identifying as ‘effective accelerationists’, abbreviated as ‘e/acc’.
Coined in 2022 by two pseudonymous Twitter users (named ‘Beff Jezos’ and ‘Bayeslord’), effective accelerationism treads a very different path to the one described by the Christchurch shooter: it espouses a radical version of tech solutionism in which the optimal way to solve any problem is through the technological innovations that emerge from capitalist competition. There is no natural or technological problem, as Andreessen writes in ‘The Techno-Optimist Manifesto’ (2023), ‘that cannot be solved with more technology.’ For effective accelerationists, techno-capitalism – even the most inhuman, AI-driven version of it – only improves our lives. Global problems like poverty, war and climate change can all be fixed by ramping up unrestricted market competition.
(. . .)
Since 2010, species of accelerationist thought have multiplied – many of which have profoundly misunderstood Land’s initial vision.
(. . .)
Even the notion of a noumenon – a thing as it actually is (independently of us) – is not really a positive cognition so much as a negative abstraction emptied of all sensible forms, conceptual categories and imaginative schemata. Can we ever experience a landscape as it really is, beyond our limited senses, concepts and imagination? At most, the notion of the noumenon demarcates something beyond which we can neither sense, nor think, nor imagine."

How I Use Obsidian to Capture, Distill, and Weaponize Ideas
Ideas rarely stand alone. They’re fragments of larger structures. When you link a note to two or three others, something starts to form. Not a hierarchy. More like pressure building in certain areas of the graph. -

The FBI has arrested Mathew David Bair, a Pennsylvania-based neo-nazi and leader of the accelerationist group Injekt Division.
This whole article is pretty wild and a good case study in the Proud Boys-to-nazi pipeline.
In his post over on Bluesky, journalist Jordan Green writes:
In January 2024, I asked a Pennsylvania neo-Nazi named Mathew Bair about fliers he promoted that urged, "Shoot your local judge," and he refused to walk back the threat.
I knew this day would come. (gift link)

the process of create any content has been usually; designing the idea, then execute it while seeing how is it going, refining progress in small sprints until it looks acceptable or viable... but now in the AI era, and under the pretext of competition and productivity of savage #capitalism.. it turns like a race of producing more and more with the less possible resources just to consume and discard like F. crazy.... 😮💨😕 #accelerationism

I used to think that "#vibecoding" was a bad design and programming practice until I found myself needing to quickly program multiple scripts simultaneously in a very short amount of time. Of course, I have to constantly review the results and iteratively refactor, but otherwise I'd never get rid of this #accelerationism that is becoming increasingly prevalent... 🥴👨🏻💻🤖
