know what's fucked up?
The only thing.
ONLY thing.
ONLY THING
Trump ever did that I agree with is Space Force.
Sorry I think I just threw up in my mouth a little there.
Honestly it needs to be done. But I wouldn't trust DJT to park my fucking car. The very fact that he pushed it into existence means that it's going to be a corrupt cesspool for et least the first two centuries before the stink washes off.
@carver_hudson Yes, but it had been in planning for a while. Trump announced it and took credit for it but it wasn't really his policy.
@carver_hudson True... though it's my impression that it was going to happen in that administration regardless of who was president.
@carver_hudson It could be.
@RationalLeft I dunno maybe it's time for the human race to go extinct. We've had a couple hundred thousand years right? and yet in a couple hundred we've managed to toss everything into the cesspool to make sure a couple of us made money. Like.. yeah we might destroy all life on what appears to be the only planet in the universe that has it... but damn it Exxon made a profit for it's share holders.
ye gods and little fishes we're horrible creatures.
Sorry feeling nihilistic tonight.
@RationalLeft be all like FUCK YEAH Trump Space Bombs! Trump Space Bullets! Trump Space Uniforms!. Spaceforce camouflage to sell to the rubes!
probably wet himself at the prospect.
Still if it gets people focused on space it will also get people focused on why space sucks ass and maybe make them realize that Earth is a pretty unique and nice place and we should probably save it.
or we'll all died and the world will become a paradise again after we're extinct.
@RationalLeft trying really hard to give a shit which way it goes, if I'm being honest.
@RationalLeft eventually maybe. But really we've got too much shit going on right now that I doubt anyone with any concept of prioritizing human beings would have made it happen.
We're literally facing extinction here as as species. So nobody else with any sort of empathy would endorse something so stupidly frivilous.
I'm guessing Muskrat probably whispered in his ear about how much money he could make waging war with the MIC's blank check in space and he was all like FUCK YEAH.
