Socioecinomic crisis solved everyone! Just build a castle for the ultra rich in the fucking sky, so they never have to touch those disgusting commoners!

      I mean, this was a pretty cool concept for world building and fiction. I’d love to read that novel or webseries if the /r/worldbuilding poster went forward with this concept. Not so much IRL though.

    Good idea actually. Of course, the “disgusting commoners” are the ones with the AA-missles. One hit would take out so much human refuse!

      There’s actually a book coming out about how super-rich individuals keep investing in foolish fantasies about creating a secluded colony or space home or whatever. Should be here in October, I believe.

      Don’t even bother. Just watch them slowly whither away from radiation toxicity. A way worse fate than getting blown up!

    Don’t trust anything Thunderf00t makes. He’s an anti-feminist and anti LGBT+ bigot. Don’t give that vile shitbag any attention.

      While that’s true, his science stuff is still okay and pretty easy to follow along with (meaning, easy to fact check). You can consume someone’s scientific content without liking their political beliefs at all, because this field of science, physics, is objective.

      If you stay on an Invidious instance like the link I’ve posted, you also get no ads, so you don’t give him ad revenue if you just really hate his guts.

      He denounced his “antifeminism” a few years ago. He even made videos condemning people like Sargon of Akkad as frauds.

      Sure, he’s a liberal, but his channel was always about exposing fraud masquerading as science. And in that regard he has produced some really valuable content.

      Watch his “antifeminism” videos and it’s quite obvious he mainly had issues with people using feminism and LGBTQ+ causes for personal gain, money and as a tool for attacking political opponents and groups, i.e. Liberal identity politics.
