I stopped using that term about a week after Charlottesville. I started to call everybody on the right-wing - right-wingers except those rare times I use "conservative" because that's the term the US media insists on even though it's ridiculous to call fascists conservative.

Kinda, he's an "I'm making the world a better place" guy peppered with "I was a coder 30 years ago" confidence. Guy also has e/acc in his twitter bio, which I hope makes everyone finally convinced that x/acc is deeply uncool

Lmao I'm just making these up now trying to home in on the type of person you mean without having to waste time listening to them.

Had to look it up too. Looks like it's some LessWrong nonsense, and he calls himself an "effective accelerationist".
