It seems like everything is racist and a dog whistle these days, but I will bite. How is new and better technology racist?

It could be a Marxist dog-whistle, though their literature would suggest that is unlikely, as you'd expect a few nods towards inequality.

It's also not technology that's suspect. It's the choice of the word "accelerationism" which tends to be associated with people who wish to accelerate what they see as the inevitable collapse of the current social-economic-political system. There are people who believe doing so would usher in Communisim. There seem to be much more who believe doing so would usher in an era without "globo-homo" as they seem to like to use as short hand at the moment. You might enjoy this wikipedia section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism#Fascist_accele...

Then again, it could all be a massive coincidence that this is term they have chosen to use. I would expect they will certainly attract people who don't believe in coincidence, whether they want that to be the case or not.

Minorities are too stupid to use a computer and do math, or at least that’s what California Democrats seem to be saying these days

who the hell mentioned racism. Or are you so stupidly stuck in brainless culture war crusading you think “dog whistle” is only associated with racism?
