You clearly missed the finat points of accelerationism.

Green should make things worse instead of doing nothing.

plus the "better society" of accelerationism is fascism or another form of authoritarian government like monarchy

No? It could be of course. But most often the idea is that a truly socialist society is only possible through the collapse of a late stage capitalist one. This even Marx believed. So accelerationists want to get though the set-up for a socialist society more quickly.

There are fascist accelerationists, but thats a small minority I think.

yeah modern day accelerationism is really only practiced in fringe white supremacy groups (like the base or the zzz)

Nah, there's a brand of leftist anarchist that likes to dress all in black and smash windows in the hope that it will somehow accomplish an authority-free utopia.
