Maybe… There have been so many times we’ve said x event was the Reichstag Fire. And sure, I’m not denying it could be this time, but I don’t think we should automatically call it such yet.

I’m willing to admit they’ve tried to make other events be that catalyst, but thus far, it has largely failed. At least in the sense of the transition to complete autocratic dictatorship they want. They’ve absolutely made enough progress and damage to be very dangerous in other ways, but they are clearly wanting a full dictatorship.

Literally defined as a stateless, classless, moneyless society

The land billionaires are salivating to carve up, log and develop? That land?

Oh not only can you, it’s encouraged. I see libs talking on Reddit about how it’s actually better than renting because you take on a risk when renting and an empty house builds value and doesn’t run the chance of damage.

This is of course why private property sucks, but if the general populous can’t stomach that, I’d be willing to settle for georgism.

I like using libreddit front ends. I don’t think they’re all called libreddit, but it’s a privacy front end that is really nice to use when I need to look at reddit for something.

It would be really nice too if they implemented Brave’s fingerprint randomization, which is obviously not perfect and I’m never going to expect Tor like anonymity, but is far better than most other browsers. Where Mullvad and Tor try to make everyone look the same, Brave randomizes nearly every important fingerprint.

And I know Firefox does this pretty well already, but from the research I did, Brave’s fingerprint vector randomization is another level.

TankieJerk was a fun sub at least.

You literally need community as a great ape of a social species. It doesn’t have to be huge but something fundamental is missing when we don’t have community.

Someone hasn’t read Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid. That book absolutely tears this argument apart and argues that cooperation is actually natural and competition is not as important to humans.

If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready

Oh I meant we use this technology in collectivist ways, not private corporations mining. Truly, to build that initial space elevator or space dock, I can’t imagine it outside of a star trek like Earth. We would have to all work together for this and for many other projects which would be cool to accomplish

Once you believe in an eternal hell and that people deserve that just for thought crimes, anything and everything are excusable

So… we need resources. Like if we go back to preindustrial society, hundreds of millions die, from diseases and famine and disability and a whole onslaught of issues. We are currently fucking over our planet to scrape the remnant of asteroid impacts to make the tools and systems we use. Now, are a bunch of those unnecessary, of course, and can they probably be done better, yes. But until we have Star Trek style replicators or hard light technology, we will need a decent amount of resources to continue existing. And I don’t know about you, but asteroid mining seems a LOT more attainable and within the nearish future timespan than replicators or hard light.

Sorry, if this isn’t meant to be a rhetorical question, it’s lebensraum

Based. Bring back bare minimum requirements and expectations of people interacting with media, art, data, and programs.

I really hate that this ends up becoming a de facto gatekeeping tactic, but at some point, our creations and works cannot always be formatted for the lowest denominator. Art, media, interactive forms of data are meant to be a dialogue of sorts, an indirect conversation, and people can reasonably be expected to bring a certain level of attention and passion to that. At least I think so.

I apologize if this makes me sound like a douche. I really don’t want it to, and at the same time, how else can we expect to grow and have real discussions and projects if we keep our content and conversations at a base level.

I’d love to hear people’s thoughts, if y’all have any you’d like to share.

Oh my God. I completely forgot, and I really need to apologize. I forgot that arguing with bigoted shitstains is completely fucking useless and one of the best wastes of time ever discovered by man. I sincerely apologize for wasting my time and yours with a back and forth that ultimately will end in nothing achieved and fucking absolutely everything lost. I leave you with one final passing remark, climb back into the cesspit you came from, and sincerely and genuinely, fuck off.

Oh asteroid mining with slow electric engines would offload SOOOOOO much emissions and pollution. Granted we would have to build some sort of space elevator or platform which would be a global effort and cost hundreds of trillions in every stage. But once the main aspects were done, it would be very efficient.

Also it turns out asteroids are conveniently formed in layers like an onion. All the work of pulling veins of ore out of ground and rock is unnecessary, because the heavier elements are further towards the center of these much MUCH Smaller bodies than planets, and the lighter elements on on top. It would make it far far easier to find and harvest these minerals and resources than it is now. As most people are aware, rare earth minerals aren’t actually rare, they’re just so scarcely spread out over our crust.

All the minerals and resources we want that are actually from Earth’s formation are hundreds of miles below the surface, most likely in molten form in the mantle, because of how cosmic body formation works with density and gravity. The resources we are extracting were probably almost all deposited by asteroid, meoterite, and comet strikes, that also probably brought our oceans.

All this to say, these asteroid did the same thing Earth did, pulled their heavy materials to their cores, but these are much easier to crack and process than an entire planet. We don’t need to go all Ishimura from Dead Space with planet cracking, when we can just crack open tiny to small sized asteroids and harvest those valuable materials much more readily, in FAR FAR higher quantity than on Earth’s surface, and with very little environmental impact.

Bro responded so forcefully, their dialogue broke from the confines of their plane and therefore the dialogue box. Their very comment is metatextual. They arr the one.
