I’m no fan of the French Revolution, which just opened things up for Emperor Napoleon to take the reins and conquer most of Europe, and even take a crack at fighting the Russian winter with a bunch of guys that didn’t deserve to freeze to death…
They’re so obsessed with buying up as much land as possible, I say we send them hurtling toward it from space, so they can become one with that which they love so much!
Nah that’s too lofty for them, i think in a just world they would have to produce labor like the rest of us, death and space is too kind a fate. (Not that labor is bad, but they think its a fate worse than death)
Real talk, they know there’s enough mineral wealth in the asteroid belt that even some of it could make either A) everyone effectively rich or B) everyone a slave to their massive wealth forever. They’re voting with their rockets.
That plus the land grab that always happens when a new unsettled area is colonized. Yeah the moon is a horrible place to live, but if you get a parcel of land for free, and a place to live safely there, I bet a lot of people would be tempted.
The main problem is the excess blood in the ship after the deed. Its mainly water and water in space uncontained is bad news. Best just to space the fuckers.
Seems like a niche initiative to use right wing, working class idols to promote socialist ideals. My guess is the intent is the target market is more likely to read the meme and view it in a positive manner when paired with someone they respect instead of, say, Einstein or MLK Jr.
I asked this a little while back (and posted this previously), so I’ll pass along the answer: because Nascar is typically not associated with these leftist political leanings, and by association of new ideas with familiar imagery you might gently help someone become more open to considering these notions in good faith instead of a knee jerk reaction against it.
It’s honestly pretty clever, and if it helps these ideas find new homes in communities they weren’t always welcome in then I’d say it’s worth it.
Please stop saying gravity when you mean G forces. There is nowhere in our known universe where gravity isn’t a factor. The reason you can experience 0 G forces in orbit is BECAUSE of gravity. You’re free falling to earth constantly because it’s pulling you in.
0G’s is what you need want to say. Also microgravity is appropriate because it’s “low apparent gravitational forces.”
It’s honestly disrespectful to assume people don’t already understand this. And that they aren’t simply using a commonly understood shorthand to convey a simple idea. It’s not a failure of their intelligence but rather of your ability to give people the grace they need to communicate an idea
I didn’t degrade intelligence, just asking if we can stop using because it doesn’t help others who aren’t in the science space. I’m saying this in an open forum. Many people that say it do not understand this. They think that gravity is just absent. I was giving some context to help others.
