The Nick Land and Accelerationism memes are rooted in the radical theories of the British philosopher and co-founder of the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU). These memes center on the belief that the forces of capitalism and technological growth should be accelerated rather than resisted, eventually leading to a post-human future or a 'techno-capital singularity.' Originally niche academic and underground internet content, the aesthetic evolved into 'schizoposting' and eventually birthed the e/acc (Effective Accelerationism) movement popular on social media platforms like X. Visually, these memes often feature grainy, high-contrast imagery, laser eyes, and cryptic, dystopian slogans that mock modern human-centric political structures in favor of runaway machine intelligence.
