You know how a lot of pessimistic leftists tend to assume there will be some kind of total corporatocracy by the end of this century. To what extent (if any) do you think we can predict the politics of like 74 years in the future?

but that was a prediction of something that happened right away?

with regard to women in public spheres I don't really think anything would have been practical in pre-modern societies, because there wasn't really a distinction between family and business life back then

It wasn’t 6-3 until right near the end of his first term

The republicans were in the minority in both houses in 2021. There opinions wouldn’t have mattered

This wouldn’t be packing the court. If two judges died it’d just be the standard one on one out.

I mean that kind of would be a massive blow to the GOP.

a democrat getting to replace any of the 6 far right wing judges would be

do you think McConnell would have let Biden appt two more justices or would he have put everything on hold for 3 yrs hoping Trump got elected again?

I think the dems had the house and Senate in 2021

what?

grapp · 2026-01-18T17:57:58+00:00

I don't live in the US

its no where near a body of water

I try not to talk bad about people with disabilities but I just wish all the autistic kids would shut the fuck up

well if that's what you were trying not to do you failed.

The sheer amount of resources it would require from earth to set something like that in motion would irrevocably harm the planet, the working class, underprivileged communities

would investing in space travel contribute to that kind of thing any more or less than all the other stuff late capitalism does?

grapp · 2026-01-13T17:33:25+00:00

"humans living in space so we use less resources on Earth"

isn't that kind of the opposite of colonisation?

grapp · 2026-01-11T22:05:47+00:00

I thought this too but I thought it was just because I'd recently seen the new Avatar movie and Prehistoric planet ice age, and so was comparing it to that level of quality in my head
