So Bobby resents "the many" who value sustainability over robotics and space travel? That explains the Moon Wheat.

Also Epcot is a for-profit theme park, a waste of fossil fuels for entertainment, not a prototype of Superior Future, friendo.

It makes a lot of his superior future ranting funnier when he doesn't really care about people and just "WE NEED TO ANNEX FUCKING EVERYONE AND GET TO SPACE NOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOWNOW"

I know he's scientifically illiterate but no amount of believing is going to give us the ability to leave our solar system and no, just pouring money into it will not guarantee we will either. Advancing research into alternative fuels will help but this isn't cheap sci-fi films, we're not that many generations removed from living under feudalism. Having big dreams is great as long as you don't deny reality.

Also I'm reminded of him once defending his "Well if America doesn't want to start the superior future then China will" by arguing that China's human rights abuses aren't so much a problem as is just getting an unified Earth government out in space. It'll sort itself out.

This viewpoint isn't new by any means, George Orwell wrote an essay back in World War 2 where he criticized H. G. Wells for believing that history would automatically flow in the direction of a science-based one world government.

George Orwell said:
Mr. Wells, like Dickens, belongs to the non-military middle class. The thunder of guns, the jingle of spurs, the catch in the throat when the old flag goes by, leave him manifestly cold. He has an invincible hatred of the fighting, hunting, swashbuckling side of life, symbolised in all his early books by a violent propaganda against horses. The principal villain of his Outline of History is the military adventurer, Napoleon. If one looks through nearly any book that he has written in the last forty years one finds the same idea constantly recurring: the supposed antithesis between the man of science who is working towards a planned World State and the reactionary who is trying to restore a disorderly past. In novels, Utopias, essays, films, pamphlets, the antithesis crops up, always more or less the same. On the one side science, order, progress, internationalism, aeroplanes, steel, concrete, hygiene: on the other side war, nationalism, religion, monarchy, peasants, Greek professors, poets, horses. History as he sees it is a series of victories won by the scientific man over the romantic man.

Sears has been shit for a long time. I had a fridge at my parents house we bought from them ten years ago that was supposed to last twenty years and this summer it went out. Sears has had mismanagement that makes MGM look great and lack of consistency in improving their products. The fact that Bob would tie this to Trump is laughable. Trump had nothing to do with Sears' bankruptcy.

As for Obama, Bob's ilk made it difficult to criticize Obama since he was black, never mind the fact that he was a shit president. Back in high school, people would make bullshit allegations of racism against me whenever I had the gall to criticize Obama's policies. What Bob and his ilk ignorantly and dishonestly fail to realize is that there's legitimate criticism of Obama from BOTH sides.

From the left and right, these are legit criticisms from Jimmy Dore, Cornel West and Thomas Sowell that doesn't cone off as racist.

So to say that criticizing Obama makes you racist is absurd and intellectually lazy.

Fine, democrats are looking to win with people who were too stupid to complete high school as they usually do. And republicans are looking to win with more blue collar and richer people, winning every income bracket above $50000, and winning with many who only go to college for a 2-4 year degree.

This is one of those things where you can tell how much someone knows about a topic within 30 seconds of talking to them. My major is economics and I go to a school that has a large liberal arts program and an honest to god pro-North Korean Marxism club, so I'm often seeing shit that makes you feel like an evolutionary biologist in a museum of creationism. One of the things they keep harping on is eating the rich, because to them all people earning more than a certain amount are just evil since they don't really understand the importance of investing in growing the economy. You could try to explain that no rich people means no capital and therefore nothing you can't make in your basement out of tree limbs and your own shit they'll tell you that you're just a bad person because you think that people who don't twist wrenches, and preferably are white men, are important. The ultimate irony of it all is that guys like bob harping on how evil rich republicans are are invariably overpaid underachievers who make money from telling people like them exactly what they want to hear and are the ultimate economic parasite since they contribute fuck all.

I'm curious. When was the last time Bob even set foot inside a Sears? I mean, when he got upset over Toys 'R Us' closure, it was because of his sentimentality of the brand and showed little understanding of business or the current climate of retail. There were department stores like Montgomery Ward and Ames that went tits up in the 90s and 00s as well and I wonder if he lamented their loss.

I admit that I feel some wistful nostalgia (and probably at the risk of :powerlevel:) for defunct department stores like Woodward's, Woolco, and Eatons at times, but that is more about reflecting on more carefree days. These stores folded due to market conditions and/or bad management. It happens and the world moves on. Of course, Bob cannot move on from the happier times before he became an angry Twitter sperg.

Has anyone pointed out that the failure of brick and mortar is practically an inevitable byproduct of the SUPERIOR FUTURE he craves?
