    In a world..

    Where a new bird flu has ravaged humanity, the last vestige of civilized humanity is a bunch of brunch liberals who took a cruise at an extraordinarily lucky time. How long till their cruise ship politics turns fascist?

    I heap a lot of contempt on people who completely miss the point of Starship Troopers, but that's nothing compared to the people whose take away from WALL-E is to dream of boarding The Axiom...

    Struggling to find the words here

    So cruises, a microcosm of environmental destruction and consumerist excess, are offering an opportunity to escape the results of continued consumerism and environmental destruction

    Hmm

    The good thing, though, is if disaster strikes the ship and the wine cave libs end up in a Gilligan's Island situation, they'll be dead in a couple weeks because none of them have any skills besides being professional managers. They're just gonna delegate foraging food to other people and establishing a pecking order (with surviving crew at the bottom, obviously) until they just get thrown into the ocean.

    Imagine going on a cruise to escape politics but the only reason anyone is on the cruise is to also escape politics so you're surrounded by a bunch of Jeff Tiedrich mega fans for 4 years with no escape

      Imagine going on such a cruise with your ML reading group and scaring the fuck out of the liberal passengers who are unable to escape you.

    I would pay money for a liberal Webcam on that ship to watch libs melt down when they don't have wifi to watch Colbert after 36 hours.

      Let alone a 4-year cruise. Like, I have a feeling that the conditions on board may enthropy, due to capitalist mismanagement, to the point the cruise stay seems more like a nightmare... then again, no one's stopped falling for buying Tesla cars

        It'll wind up as that flying party from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where it terrorizes the outside world by occasionally stopping for wine and cheese raids

            Yeah, I know it from physics and chemistry. I was confused by your usage.

            Entropy is a noun, so you would say something like "these conditions would cause the entropy of the situation to increase" (although that sounds clunky).

            Edit: LMK if this is actually helping or if I'm just being a pedantic ass.

              honestly if you wanna spontaneously just turn a word like entropy into a verb by putting an h in it, that should be allowed.

    I'm betting it will end up like Ghost Ship.
