accelerationism: come for the intellectualized excuse for ruthless opportunism, stay for the fast-cycling fungal bloom of love-hate personality cults https://twitter.com/jenphalian/status/1050013775909269504
nihilism: come for the courageous embrace of the absence of received meaning, stay for the facile ability to disclaim any responsibility in anything
feminism: come for the articulation of the oppression of half of the human race and call for their liberation, stay for the construction of what it means to be a woman based on the narcissisms and bigotries of rich nineteenth century housewives
anarchism: come for the principled commitment to opposition to power, stay for the leisure to indulge in ever more pure intellectual rightness thanks to being thoroughly insulated from any of one's ideas being put into broad practice
capitalism: come for the unprecedented engine of economic growth and innovation, stay for the absence of any barrier to unbridled rent-seeking

exit/patchwork: come for the promise of being able to build a community without yahoos and sociopaths rolling in and shitting it up, stay for the screeching racism
existentialism: come for the clear-eyed embrace of an individual agent's position in the universe, stay for the whiny scolding about who's existentially inauthentic compared to you, the hero of responsibility

technocracy: come for the promise of systems governed by those most skilled at their maintenance, stay for the systems that only work if you violently reduce human endeavor to things that fit on a spreadsheet
green/sustainability: come for the responsible stewardship of the environment, stay for the romantic primitivism tarted up in morality drag
Platonism: come for the striving toward the Good, stay for the smug satisfaction that you're the one who knows what's really going on around here and should be telling the NPCs what to do
rationalism: come for the clearing away of falsehoods and trickery from thought and inquiry, stay for the hubristic superiority complex and febrile rationalization of one's cherished falsehoods and trickeries
postrationalism: come for the embrace of the full spectrum of human thought and experience, stay for the zero effort shitposting
