Time to bring Communism to these people. (Is this what it feels like to be America but in reverse?)

    Yeah, you’re right. I still think they’d at some point load up generation ships with serfs, a privileged security caste, and the would be nobility if they think it’s feasible.

    It’s more of an existential dread “what if this never ends” “what if it just manages to shamble along until it becomes even slightly feasible”.

    Like, mass deportation to a colony wouldn’t get the same blowback of mass murdering workers. If things are bad enough a lot might volunteer.

    I probably need to just read less dystopian sci-fi and find something optimistic.

      no that wouldn't provide a fast enough return on capital investment to justify the cost. It could happen under feuadalism but not capitalism

      Yeah, I feel that.
