The fact that progressives have decided to hate the space industry, probably because Elon is a prominent figure in it, really rubs me the wrong way. It's regressive bullshit under the guise of a moral assertion.

Honestly I've noticed a lot of anti intellectualism from progressives over the past few years. You guys hate STEM, hate emerging tech, and hate people who work in emerging tech. While they stress "being informed", all that really means is watching some 15 minute YouTube clip from a comedian pretending to be a journalist or reading an article from an obviously biased website, then adopting all the assertions as their own viewpoints.

If anyone disagrees with that worldview, they are ridiculed for being either morally or intellectually inferior. Usually there's some literal schoolyard level insult thrown in. I don't like the cyber truck, but calling anyone who drives it a "cybercuck" is the kind of shit I would expect from middle schoolers.

It's absolutely exhausting.

So we're going to support a democratic system to tax people and service the underprivileged, right?

We're going to do that, right?

The real question is how do you define best system. I bet those billionaires think this is in fact a pretty good system. Though they are probably never satisfied, so they wouldn't say best until they could snap thier fingers and a million people would start working to make whatever idea popped into thier head happen.

Gatcha addicts.

All of them. Gambling addicts addicted to watching numbers grow.

The plan is going well. Now all we gotta do is convince all those sonobabiches to get on a Tesla rocket to Mars. As soon as that shit is outta here, we cut off communication and problem solved.

Sharing twitter posts in a meme sub isn't the best system either. Don't expect anything to change with the current quality of discussion.

As long as a single human being is homeless or hungry, billionaires should not exist.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Billionaires shouldn't exist. Period.

Technicaly That is very dependent on the value of currency current or future one

I guess it could be said that the sort of wealth disparity that we have shouldn't exist

what if we didnt have money and cooperated (fucking impossible though because of greed)

what if the return to monke meme wasnt a meme

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We would need a fundamental DNA shift in the population to get rid of money. Humans are wired to compete with each other.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We're wired to cooperate. Not compete. That compete part is a relatively recent thing. Last couple thousand years. And not everywhere.

It's Neo, also I kinda agree. Though how to fix it is the tricky part.
