This is the accelerationism that the long long long loud & angry barricades against governmental social safety-netting have made necessary.
I actually think this is going to improve things, for a couple decades. Because governments most-of-the-world-over are being prevented from caring for their people. Because states & municipalities cant do good things, can't try good actions. There has been pervasive, loud, angry resistance to caring for people, to trying to make things better.
So that's accelerationism. It's making things worse. It's letting neofuedal Bezosvilles spring up, because the governments have been prevented from trying. Someone can try, and they'll probably do a better job than the nothing that has been let happen for a bunch of decades now. In the US, part to blame: a 245 year old big state / small state compromise, and by the need for veto-proof majority to get anything at all done.
I hate this. The world hasn't been allowed to try much. It's been obstructed. This neofeudalism is at least some kind of chance to try something, and chances have all been denied, for my entire life. I'm very sad about this, all of it. I want change & improvement to be possible, want helping to be possible. I want other chances to be possible, to improve things. I don't see how that will ever happen. So it's left to Bezosvilles to try & be the only source of innovation & change, since everything else has been roadblocked.
