[LORD IMPERATOR]

Rate me hopeful but the dream is that we will be able to leave much of the bullshit we've made for ourselves on Earth behind. A chance to go back to a world where humans can live without room for anti-social internet blowhards, insane predatory fetishists, and what not.

Fat chance, I know, but sustaining life on other worlds in our solar system also creates an existential insurance plan for the entire human race. All the more so if we can try for exoplanets; some combination of stasis, generation ships, and nuclear pulse propulsion if I had to brainstorm. If it is at all possible, it will only be possible by exploiting resources from off Earth. Mars would be an ideal staging ground to mine the main asteroid belt, where there is unfathomable wealth in metals waiting for the claiming.

I'm just rambling here, I'm not a smart enough guy to say exactly how this would or wouldn't go. But those are some thoughts.

As hopeful as that sounds, the problems with humanity on Earth are far from just simple material concerns, but are closer to human nature itself. You take a bunch of boisterous, ill-mannered degenerates to a new planet, and they'll continue acting the way they've always acted once society in that new world is established. Also, Mars isn't as good at supporting life as Earth is, especially when it comes to things like trees and the atmosphere. So if anything, a Martian colony is going to be dependent on the Earth for quite some time before the tech advances enough for them to terraform Mars into something like Earth one day.

Imagine "we could have developed less destructive cancer treatments but we colonized Mars instead".

Look, space programs are cool and I'd love to have the 60's optimism about a government boondoggle but they're not a solution to problems nor are they really cost efficient.

It's all a pointless argument because money doesn't equal scientific progress, and even if NASA was given an unlimited budget it would still take years and a lot of work to make any major break throughs.

What's the fucking point of colonizing Mars? All it will lead to is interplanetary warfare someday.

>Get to shoot communists on Mars
Seems like total win-win to me.

So... Space Australia?

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Back when Bob was a child (and when I was an older child), there was a cartoon called the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. It definitely gave Mario a personality and where he lived while not saving the princess (hence Bob's autistic insistence that 'Mario is from Brooklyn, REEEEE!'). Bob's basing that cartoon on his fantasies.

Since Segale was from Seattle where Nintendo was at the time, chances are good that's where Mario is from too.

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

So... Space Australia?

Yep. It may even end up evolving in the same way as regular Australia.

Absolutely. It's a great big pipe dream, and even if it somehow works there's no guarantee we won't have more or less the same human shitshows on other worlds.

I hate to lean so hard on Asimov but he had some fairly detailed talks on this, and came to the conclusion that humanity had two options; either crush lives under overpopulation, or find other places for people to go. He saw space colonization as the release valve for a humanity that would grow inevitably more and more authoritarian as it grew more and more crowded.

It's a nice dream to think about, but I don't think any of us will live to see if it could possibly come true or not. The meme is true, we are all born too early.

Alfabusa doesn't fuck around. He doesn't do major updates often, but when he does, he arrives with authority.

In one sense this may be apples to oranges, since Alfabusa's content is of a completely different nature than Bob. 40k on meth isn't the same thing as movie reviews. But aside from that, Alfabusa is humble, hard working, funny, and doesn't spend 27 hours a day politisperging on Twitter.

Is it unfair to compare the two? Yeah. Alfabusa is very talented and Bob gave up on showing his face on camera months ago, possibly because the autism everyone keeps going on about, possibly because he got tired of people making fun of his lazy attempts at chroma keying, possibly because he's no longer working for anyone that's requiring him to be on camera. The other thing that's different between the two of them is passion. Bob spergs out for the regular consoomer shit but I don't know how much of it he actually believes and how much of it is just a put on so he can keep getting neet bucks. I'm reminded of his review of The Last Jedi. The very first thing out of his mouth is "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank fuck it's good" and it came off as so forced and scripted. Granted, yes he's going off a script but it's just so bereft of sincerity. If you were really relived and happy for it why would you need to act, and act poorly for that matter? I sometimes get the same feeling from him, mainly in his videos which admittedly I don't watch that often, that I do from Jim Sterling now. Both are woke, fat men who are almost 40 talking about kid shit to "adults". Neither of them are happy where they're at. What even gets a legitimate rise out of Bob outside of Nintendo? Troons, lesbians tribbing until their brains are fried from chemical overload, and punishing those he thinks have wronged him. Almost none of that is part of American pop culture at least not in large quantities thankfully.

I'm not suggesting that Bob isn't the consoomer we all know him to be. I just think now that he's getting up in years his heart's just not in it as much.

and to bring Alfabusa back into this

Seeing this tweet from Jack Posobiec made me think of Bob's "Twenty-Fucking-nineteen" tweet only Jack's is not full of malice and selfishness.

The big difference is "we" instead of "I." Bob wanted technology to advance just so he could do things he wanted.

Imagine "we could have developed less destructive cancer treatments but we colonized Mars instead".

Look, space programs are cool and I'd love to have the 60's optimism about a government boondoggle but they're not a solution to problems nor are they really cost efficient.

Exactly. Although we may one day have to turn to the stars for salvation.

The thing with Captain Marvel is that it was just an excuse to make a shit film because anyone who criticised it could be written off as a misogynist.

It's on the level of the late Kim Jong-Il writing plays and forcing every theatre in North Korea to perform them.

That comparison makes me wonder how much strong-arming and coercion went into the making of that shit piece. In particular, I don't think Sam Jackson was really down with the explanation of what happened to his eye.

 

[Karl der Grosse]

I was supposed to be eating a small amount of astronaut food in my domed Mars pleasure palace, waited on hand and foot by four-titted asians and spending my time teaching robots about humanity.

Anyhoo, Happy 40th Bob. At least two-thirds of your life is now over and you are still a virgin who lives in a relative's basement. The next ten years will not be kind.

People who worry about overpopulation usually don't take into account nature's way of population control: natural disasters, plagues, aging, and of course, there's also man-made disasters like wars killing people off by the bucketloads. That's why China is bound to have far less people in the future than they do now: most of their people are reaching their 50s. That's why China is so aggressive right now in trying to claim land and power-they know they're living on borrowed time. Same thing goes for the next few generations; there won't be as much people as before since birth control and consequence-free sex have made child-rearing a thing mostly handled by religious fuddy-duddies. The third world will continue to have tons of kids, but the first and second world? Not so much. I don't think we'll need to colonize Mars anytime soon.

That being said, MovieBob probably leans on the side of using eugenics to get rid of those religious fuddy-duddies because he knows his generation will one day be outnumbered. Not only do religious people in the first and second world breed a lot to give their God new soldiers for the cause, but the third world which also has a crap-ton of breeding has a lot of religious people. Bob might be wanting to off these folks because in the near future, when more religious people take over the first and second world due to their numbers, he knows that people like him would get ostracized from society at best, and shot for being a filthy degenerate at worst. Especially if traditionalist Chrisitans or Muslims take over, Bob and his fellow libs would definitely not be welcome.

I think you're giving Bob way too much credit here. I doubt he knows or even gives any consideration to the birth rates of religious people versus fedora-tippers such as himself. His pro-eugenics against the religious fuddy-duddies is rooted squarely in his childish black and white worldview that puts "thinkers" as the good guys and "believers" as the bad guys, and since the thinkers such as himself are both good and smart, they are on the right side of history, and will use their goodness and smartness to one day overcome and get rid of the bad believers.

I'd at least hope that Bob has a few working brain cells in his head. But he may not even have that. However, what I said about birth rates is true: one day, Bob will find himself having to keep his mouth shut when the traditional Christians and Muslims start questioning him on his beliefs in social justice, feminism, and LGBTQ matters. If you want a picture of tomorrow, look at modern-day Africa, with its traditionalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims. The enlightenment thinking that Bob thinks he's on the side of will soon fade, replaced by a stronger emphasis on faith and tradition. I see this transformation all around me: Christians are veering more towards traditionalism while the more progressive Churches continue to shrink, Islam's followers are getting more bold, and the more those two trends keep on course, the more people like Bob will have to shut up lest they get ostracized or worse.

-Belief in the extermination of the mayonnaise ghouls as a necessity to achieve Soopeeryah Fyootcha
-being Progressive in all things
-I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE (except when inconvenient, then science may be denied in favor of pseudoscientific psychological word salad that denies biological sexes etc.)

I'll be honest, I'd rather avoid any kind of theocracy. As much of a traditionalist as I've become in recent years, I still think traditional constitutionalism is far superior to traditional Christianity itself. I can only hope you're wrong about the Muslims, but you're probably right. Still, it'll take a generation or two to actually get to that point at the very least, and by then Blob will be dead from diabetes or something.

It's funny how Bob identifies himself with Mario while being a far-left, anti-traditionalist hippie. Mario is quite possibly one of the most reactionary and monarchist characters in video games, right next to Link from the Legend of Zelda, the Champion of Cyrodiil in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and Optimus Prime in Transformers: War for Cybertron. Mario keeps supporting the Mushroom Kingdom monarchy of Princess Peach, he keeps rescuing her and putting her back in power during the repeated instances of her kingdom falling to Bowser. This despite not having a drop of royal or noble blood himself. And he doesn't even ask for a reward. Heck, in Super Mario Bros. 3, he was saving multiple monarchs from the assaults of Bowser's children, and he supports other princesses like Daisy and Rosalina. Which means that Mario's devotion to monarchy doesn't end with Peach, he was off saving other monarchs and princesses as well.

If Bob were in the Mushroom Kingdom, he'd probably take advantage of Peach getting kidnapped to try and establish a liberal democratic republic in the Mushroom Kingdom, only for Mario to hammer his balls in on his way to save the Princess from Bowser for the umpteenth time.

this is what bob thinks wisdom/intelligence manifests as in a "thinker":

-Belief in the Soopeeryah Fyootcha
-Fedora-tipping m'latheism

Basically, your standard leftist idiot back from the mid-to-late 2000s. Kind of like the pussy version of The Amazing Atheist. What a joke.

I don't think constitutionalism will get that many supporters. Aside from the fact that a growing amount of people are losing faith in democracy, everyone who's cracked open a history book knows that constitutions are flawed and easily changed; back then the US Constitution guaranteed slavery, now it stands against slavery. Not to mention that constitutional rights are easily trampled upon with hate speech laws and gun control. So most people going full traditionalist would rather put their trust in systems that have existed for millennia as opposed to centuries.

The Papal States/Vatican is a theocracy that has lasted for over 1000 years. Same thing goes for the Islamic rulers of Mecca. Compared to America, which is already falling apart at the seams in less than 300 years, more people will go off to join more radical strains of Christianity and Islam. Trump is already a vessel of the right-wing Christian block, and there's more and more Christians who think he didn't go far enough. It will take a generation, at most, especially since the liberal brainwashing of today's high-school youths is barely working on the kids. (they prefer playing Fortnite or keeping up with celebrities and who's getting laid)

All it would take is for the traditionalists to stick it out for a generation and keep breeding, while the enlightened atheist crowd Bob hangs with will end up contracepting themselves out of a future. Depending on his luck, Bob might be dead of Diabetes by that time or still alive, but if he's still alive, then he, and people like him, will have to watch their tongue lest the future inquisitors and jihadists of the world rip him to shreds for suggesting what amounts to blasphemy in their eyes.

So most people going full traditionalist would rather put their trust in systems that have existed for millennia as opposed to centuries.

Funny thing about the Constitution: when it was being drafted, many of the Founding Fathers wanted to abolish slavery. The reason they didn't was because the slave-owning states threatened civil war, and they didn't want to fight another war so soon after the Revolution. The slave-owning states wanted to be able to buy and sell their human chattel and deny them rights (like voting), but also wanted them to count as people for the purposes of the Electoral College and seats in the House of Representatives- a classic case of wanting to have their cake and eat it too. The compromises they came up with (like the three-fifths compromise) were not only a way to give the slave owners what they wanted, they served to highlight the mental gymnastics conducted by slave owners (e.g., "how can a person count as a person for the Electoral College and the House, but not be considered a person otherwise?")

Much of what erodes the Constitution today is by and large due to a lack of respect for the document. The Tenth Amendment specifically states that any powers not specifically given to the Federal Government are reserved for the people and the states. But if we ignore that bit, we can justify all sorts of things!

Also Bob is fat and nobody will have sex with him.

Happy 40th Bob! You are now no doubt past the halfway point of your life. What do you have to show for it? No friends, no career, no significant other, rampant alcoholism and a detoriating body. All of which is taking place in a moldy basement.

Congrats! You are a true role model on how not to live one's life.
