..few people seem to even be willing to use the name anymore.

It's been heavily associated with mentally unwell people who belong into cw threads...

The name? Of a blog or you mean transhumanism?

I know the fashionable term is “accelerationist” now but I tend to find a lot of politics thrown in around that circuit.

transhumanism

No, just transhumanism. From one side, WEF people like Harari are making it cringe with their powerpoint control-freak fantasies of perfect control.

From the other side, you have trads and anyone else disgusted with the WEF agenda using the word as a 'generic purpose slur' for anyone who has problems with human nature as it exists and hopes to be allowed to improve it.

accelerationist

That means someting quite different, no ?
