Bonkers question. Can't even figure out living on Earth sustainably and you want to talk about doing it without gravity, an atmosphere or an ionosphere?
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.
If you're an aussie you're no fucking better settler lmfaooooooooooooooooooooo
Westerners try to accept that the rest of the world exists challenge: impossible
Don't you have a democracy you should be overthrowing?
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.

What. Are. You. On. About.
This is an Markov Chain bot or something.
The typical reaction of a cultist: denying that people that disagree exist, by dehumanizing them.
I can't reasonably be expected to formulate a response to word salad.
No you're just a settler brain dipshit that gets uncomfortable getting called out, the fact you are an Aussie calling someone else westerner is fucking rich lmao.
weird use of the word 'fact'
Don't you have some Muslims you should be bombing instead?
I fuckin burned my draft card and was getting tear gassed protesting against the Iraq war over twenty years ago. Fuck off with that shit.
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.
