Since late 2010s "... right-wing accelerationism has primarily been associated with white nationalist and Christofascist ideologies agitating for the demise of liberal democracy in favor of a white ethnostate.

Interview: Naomi Klein

"The end of the bombs does not mean the end of the genocide, unfortunately.

"Gaza is a crime scene.

"I don't think we've really understood what the Nazis were originally. We in Europe & in North America treated them as a rupture, instead of as a continuation of the ideologies of settler colonialism."
