Should we A) colonise other planets or B) build habitats in the middle of space, like O'Neill Cylinders and stuff? - eviltoast

      “DAE le Musk Derangement Syndrome?”

      bazinga

      Techbros are burning the world down in swathes to fuel their theftboxes at best, and artificial lovers at worst, Neuralink just fucked some guy’s brains up, Cybertrucks keep failing left and goddamn right, but sure, let’s just chalk all this up to “Musk Derangement Syndrome” jesus fucking christ I hate you techbro settlers. Please die young of something preventable.

          Culture war is when a person points out the chauvinism inherent in cracker fantasies about colonizing the stars because there is nowhere left to colonize here without just admitting to themselves they just want to subjugate everyone and everything on earth and above.

          @frauddogg@hexbear.net is 100% correct in every single comment they have made in this thread.

          I can’t really even add anything to this other than say they right fuck off.

            “As below, so above” might as well be the settler-colonizer’s ethos. “As I subjugate everything below me, I must reach for what’s above.” At what point is Polly satisfied?

            Never, apparently. Humanity will go extinct thanks to this malign tumor on our collective neck.

              Also funny how libs mistake actual structural material analysis as “culture war tropes” because their framework for viewing the world is constrained by their MSNBC vs Fox News idea of good and bad and anything that challenges it must be from the wrong side of said culture war. Which funnily enough is also culture war bullshit.

              “Surely I can’t be racist I’m one of the good white people!”

                Kinda outs their whole “war is a football game to you” allegation as pure projection, doesn’t it? There is fundamentally zero difference between the ‘cUlTuRe WaR’, the electoral race, and the “professional” handegg games that will go on in two days for these settler liberals.

                  Yeah they will smugly condescend to us with their “not a team sport” shit all the while demanding we vote for their particular team because harm reduction or whatever. Meanwhile every president and 99% of congress people of either party in my 40 years has done the same genocidal shit.

                    Are you doing a bit?

                    The allegation was that you’re pulling everything back to culture wars, and you instantly started talking about “MSNBC vs Fox” and the USA’s two-party system. In a thread about China’s space program.

                    Not beating the allegations.

            Ironically enough in their fantasy about reaching mars with privatized space planes that is an extremely likely scenario lol

                That submarine stunt was one of the funniest things that has ever happened.

                Honestly if we wanted to do something neat that is almost exactly like settling an alien landscape we should invest in more deep sea research.

                We don’t even know shit about Giant Squid which are like the coolest most alien thing on earth.

      Meh I dislike Musk as well but I don’t let that cloud my judgement of his companies or science/engineering in general.

          Polly’s Tenet: “I can excuse anything from anyone if it means my treats arrive on time”. My parrot is literally more disciplined than these settler shitstains.

        He isn’t even the guy behind any discovery his manifold bought-up companies make. He’s just the nepobaby failspawn of blood emerald mining company money in South Africa; and as far as I’m concerned, that makes anything that comes out of his companies while he helms them fruit of the poison tree.

        We do not support, uplift, or patronize colonizers, slavers, resource-extracting thieves, or any combination of the three in this house.

          Then stop obsessing on him maybe? The thread was supposed to be about space stations and stuff.

            melon-musk and those other bazingas are all the same

            Colonizer fantasies and zero knowledge about how anything works
