This has been going on & on. Same comments. White people don't understand that colonising new places requires labour. Who supplies it? People who have suffered most under colonialism. "Starting over" on Mars won't overcome inequity that continues on Earth https://twitter.com/CouchMJ/status/974897173291610112 …
White people have no awareness of how colonies/cities are built, who was exploited and who continues to be exploited.
WP have no understanding that colonialism is still happening. Indigenous people still forced off their land. Poor #POC overworked & underpaid for "development"
Many White people keep repeating it will be better on Mars because "there's no life" - that is the very same colonial mindset that led us to where we are now. On this planet they're so eager to discard. Hence my comments on lack of historical understanding in these discussions
White people who are so incensed that anyone would question Mars colonisation. They've never considered that Indigenous people see lands is sacred, & that they've *always* fought colonial expansion. Belief that colonising is neutral ignores the violent reality of colonialism.
Hence the reference to utopia - major enterprises always exploit workers in the name of enterprise, from Apple to the mining sector. Whether it's colonial expansion or developing land, or tech, or resources. Poor people are exploited while the wealthy benefit & land is wrecked.
I'm hoping for machine servants to make human colonialism obsolete :/
