The acceleration has contributed to the development of capitalism, but it has also exacerbated the series of problems of modernity, such as the destruction and alienation of people by capital. People are increasingly becoming the appendage of the accelerated development of capital, forced to follow the one-way run of accelerationism, losing the domination of speed as well as human subjectivity, embodied in the loss of control over the time of life. Capital's domination of people in the modern era is also reflected in the accelerationist control of time, which has exacerbated the problems of Western modernity such as consumerism, objectification, landscape society, cultural hegemony and unidimensionality. The alienation caused by acceleration is not only manifested in the contradiction between the acceleration of society and the process of modernity, but also in the conflict between the quality of life and the shortage of time. Acceleration on the one hand promotes the development of society, and on the other hand creates and exacerbates a series of serious problems. Consumerism is internalised and externalised into people's values more quickly through acceleration. The network virtual landscape society makes alienation and consumption develop rapidly both in the real and virtual world through acceleration, resulting in the double acceleration of capitalism's slavery to people, who are not only difficult to get rid of acceleration in the real world but also controlled by accelerationism in the virtual world.
