From a tweet cited by Adam Tooze:

"I gotta hand it to the e/accs: “decel” is a beautiful turn of phrase. It effortlessly links “decelerationist” to the reviled “incel,” making it a perfect all-purpose slur for anyone advocating more than zero tech regulations or who’s unwilling to raze a neighborhood in service of a new chip factory."
