You seem to be letting your hatred for Musk confuse you about space exploration. NASA and other governmental agencies do very important work when it comes to space exploration
My grandpa helped design and test the tech for ballistic missiles while working as a private contractor for a now defunct aerospace corporation under contract with NASA.
If he was still alive I would say he gets the wall too.
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!"
because their framework for viewing the world is constrained by their MSNBC vs Fox News idea of good and bad
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.
Cries for civility in the face of the uncivil, demanding that subjects-of-empire kowtow and coddle the feelings of their colonizers, is the last gasp of the settler-fascist.
Buddy you responded with the most braindead lemmitor comment you could think of and then get surprised when that's the level you're engaged at. You people are dense as bricks, I'd get more introspection from the ocean in a storm.
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.
lol this sounds like you have smoke coming out your ears writing it
hehehe wow you sure seem mad about the fact that billionares are destroying the planet and people like me are clapping like trained seals. Wow such a heated reaction, that means that I have won this interaction because I do not care about things. One point for me please
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.
His companies suck shit too. They fuck up the ozone, suck funding from the government, produce barely anything of value and fuck up nature reserves all the time. Just a tremendous waste of resources. Had the money that has been funneled into his many shitty scams gone towards anything actually useful (even if we're talking space exploration, which I do not think is worth the investment in this society) then we would have been so much further ahead already
science/engineering in general.
yeah I don't think anybody is against the general concept of "science/engineering" here buddy
I think they're just not used to anyone not soyfacing over basic sci-fi or experiencing materialist critique. They're used to Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking about how you've got stars inside you. So when it's pointed out how NASA was staffed by nazis and its' main purpose is to be a MIC front, then they start talking about morals and culture war stuff. They're smart people who believefollow are interested in science (tm) so obviously whatever they think is rational (tm) and logical (tm) and critiques are therefore stemming from a place of emotions (bad).
What I was trying to say is that most of them probably don't really think about this stuff, and then I got annoyed and expanded a bit.
Oh yeah "u r emotional lol" is always asinine. Like the dweeb in here who responded with "wow you're pretty mad" to someone freaking out about the climate being destroyed to satisfy Elon Musks lust for impregnating women on other planets. Yeah, being angry is a rational response. Our society fetishises the idea of rationality, but since it isn't a rational society rationality gets reduced to nihilistic detached impassiveness. On top of that there's a hierarchy of what emotional reactions are acceptable and anger is at the very bottom of that list.
It's the polite Hitler meme.
On the days where I am especially conspiracy brained I think those who hold cultural hegemony understand how useful it is for them that we all masturbate to the idea of "turning the other cheek" and "taking the high road", and they purposefully smash it in everywhere they can. And I'm very much not just talking about Marvel slop here.

We all know what NASA research is really for.

He has Musk Derangement Syndrome 🤣🤣🤣
Too much time reading clickbait

Can you string together 2 sentences without culture war tropes?
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?

Ironically enough in their fantasy about reaching mars with privatized space planes that is an extremely likely scenario lol
I keep thinking about what's been happening to Boeings lately and smiling. "C'mon, bazinga, go see the stars." [stick-poke meme]
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.
Lmao at removing this but not all the smug shit coming the other way. mods=cops

Meh I dislike Musk as well but I don't let that cloud my judgement of his companies or science/engineering in general.
That says a lot about you, then. The guy's a fascist but you don't care because
muh bazingamobiles and space crap!

Then stop obsessing on him maybe? The thread was supposed to be about space stations and stuff.
Colonizer fantasies and zero knowledge about how anything works
His companies suck shit too. They fuck up the ozone, suck funding from the government, produce barely anything of value and fuck up nature reserves all the time. Just a tremendous waste of resources.
