Decel

Short for decelerationist. A derogatory term used by e/acc (effective accelerationists) who believe any criticism, even constructive, is impeding accelerationist plans for immortality, digital minds, and space colonization. An effective term because it rhymes with Intel and wordcel, even though there is a clear path to getting laid for practicing safe behavior.

Decels raining on our parade!

Man, just when we we accelerating!

Nah, they want to slow us down and get bent!

'“Decel” is a derogatory slang word used by the e/acc community. It’s short for “decelerationist”, meaning someone who wants to slow down technological progress. Most decels probably wouldn’t explicitly think of themselves this way, but their attitudes and beliefs end up working in that direction."
