        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.

      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.

                  Where the hell was China even brought up? This thread afaik is about settler brainworms regarding space colonization.

                  Like colonize is literally in the title of this post.

                  Allegations of what exactly. What are you alleging about me?

                    Being unable to formulate a thought, because you’re addicted to drawing culture war lines.
