    Not a bonkers question, it’s actually totally predictable if you have an accurate read for both the White urge to despoil the frontier, and the depths of techbro narcissism. They just want to be the first to bust their load somewhere new, no matter what it takes, no matter whose resources they have to spend, no matter what they leave behind. Colonizer-assed cracker techbros always leave shit behind.

    This is what the space-age (hwhite) colonizer’s future looks like: every planet now has ring arrangements of dead satellites, empty fuel pods, blown-apart thrusters, and other assorted human-make space junk. Rings of garbage for all nine, dead vessels (crewed by now, long-dead, pressganged “conscripts” [because “conscript” causes less riots than “undesirable”]) hanging in high planetary orbits like macabre baby mobiles, and a still-smoldering coal where Earth used to be.

    I have no fucking respect for it.

      Only two things are infinite: the universe and Seppos’ ability to bring up race in any convrsation.

        As long as there are white people, we have to keep having this talk. At some point they’ll realize that white is a caste and hopefully give it up.

            Don’t you have natives of your own to be ceding your land back to, then going the fuck back to Britain afterwards? Settlers are settlers, no matter what white country they illegitimately live in. America, Britain, Australia, France, Spain, Belgium, the Nordics, all of you are exactly the same.

                  Sorry Hexbear, you should self-crit here.

                  I don’t know why you assumed their nationality, but they clearly corrected you and you shouldn’t double down.

                    They didn’t though

                    They just said “fact” in quotes.

                    If they had said “actually I am from x” I could have engaged differently. But frankly it doesn’t matter because they are getting very defensive and calling others westerners without even saying where they are from. They certainly don’t have to I aint fishing for personal info or anything but given the surrounding context I could not help but respond the way I did.
