        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.

            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.

                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!”

                    Yeah they will smugly condescend to us with their “not a team sport” shit all the while demanding we vote for their particular team because harm reduction or whatever. Meanwhile every president and 99% of congress people of either party in my 40 years has done the same genocidal shit.

              Ironically enough in their fantasy about reaching mars with privatized space planes that is an extremely likely scenario lol

                  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.

          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

            He isn’t even the guy behind any discovery his manifold bought-up companies make.

            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
