Why is this neoreactionary ted bundy look alike popular amongst some leftists? What's the deal with accelerationism anyway? Most of his writings seem like some incoherent ramblings by a bloke who friend his brain on speed

This much is certainly true.

However, reading early Land, pre-Dark Enlightenment, you can easily read him as a kind of heretical Marxist.

There was a reason that he and Mark Fisher got along so well back in the CCRU days despite having some core disagreements. In fact I think Land even tweeted out a thing about K-Punk earlier today. There was definitely some shared admiration, and I believe they reference each-others work in both of their main texts.

Land's accelerationism is definitely different from generalized left-accelerationism, but it is speaks to the core of that idea. Land is (arguably) worth reading, especially Fanged Noumena, though Dark Enlightenment is honestly kind of a gross slog. I'd skip it unless you want to get a sense of what NRx is like and why it might appeal to someone with Land's background.

They're first worldists who want to keep consumerist capitalism but pretend they're not capitalist. Nick Land basically offers consumerism as a solution to capitalism rather than revolution, which appeals to people raised in consumer culture because they don't have to change anything.

Untrue, he looks like Winters from Band of Brothers.

It seems like Land is more on of the mind that humanity will be consumed by a kind of uncaring technocapital singularity inevitability than he seems to care about consumerism or maintaining it.

Hard to say, I'm not an expert on Land, but I was of the impression that NRx is what he thinks will slow down acceleration a little bit. Can't say if that's accurate or not, I've only read through the first bit of Dark Enlightenment and skimmed a bit of the rest. Maybe you're right, he does appear, from my limited understanding of NRx, to seek to maintain of sort of slow growth/status quo.

I WANNA FUG

Beneath all the cyberpunk bluster, Land is just a sad old run-of-the-mill reactionary fuckhead, notable only in the fact that he's smart enough to realize that communism is inevitable. Marx the revolutionary says that the productive forces unleashed by capitalism will reach a crescendo incompatible with capitalism, at which point the social relations of capitalism will collapse and re-form into communism. Land the reactionary says the same thing, except he puts it in scary 'Skynet'-type terms and tries to slow its progress because he's a reactionary fuckhead.

He sees the inevitability of Communism, is fucking terrified of it, and has crafted a snowflake ideology for the express purpose of delaying its onset. Your position on the left-right spectrum should be defined entirely by your relationship to Communism. If you're trying to bring it about quicker, you're on the Left. If you're trying to retard its progress, you're on the Right. Land is as purely right-wing as its possible to be.

Because some "Leftists" have fucking brain worms and don't understand what Accelerationism is, and even Left Accelerationists are fucking retarded themselves and all of their arguments are more succintly explained in someone like Moishe Postone's work, to much greater theoretical depth and detail (although to be fair I'm pretty sure Postone died before he could complete his magnum opus, as it were, to attempt to resolve some of the problems with his insights)
