      The Online Marxist Left is really, really bad about proles vs lumpen, the deserving vs undeserving poor "*I* deserve better because I'm an ablebodied hardworking man It is unjust to lump me in with these shiftless lazy assholes lying on the couch all day"

      Anyway I got in an argument once with an Aimee Terese fan defending her bullshit about how the Left needs "right-wing values" like discipline and honor and sacrifice to succeed, "You can't win a war without an army" And I of course told him to go to hell

      It was specifically the point at which every real life leftist revolution decided that because they needed to win a war they needed to become an army that they *stopped being leftist* "The individual must be sacrificed for the greater good" is the seed of ALL RIGHT WING VALUES

      His whole thing was defending the movie 300, saying that even though the movie was bad and racist if you don't have the core values the movie tries to teach of steadfastness and shared sacrifice And I said fine, let's ignore the racism The traitor Ephialtes is still my hero

      Ephialtes did nothing wrong and if I existed in the world of the movie I would be him Sacrifice yourself for whatever values you want but if your values demand *I* be sacrificed I will gladly snitch on you to the feds and watch your movement burn

      This is how I feel about the science fiction classic The Cold Equations The moment the cold equations said the girl needed to be thrown out the airlock she should've grabbed the controls and taken the whole ship down with her She should've aimed for the whole colony on the way

      I feel like I lost the thread here... Like, the premise of that story is ridiculous and even if you accept it the characters reactions are odd at best but in either case what is the point of making things strictly worse?

      It's an expression of anger and spite at the utilitarian calculus If you want to get deep and serious about it, it's a moral value expressing a game-theoretic strategy, which game theorists actually call "Spite"

      Peter Watts has written dark edgelord stuff about this, about how ruling classes are only ever taken down by spite The rulers generally know how to set up a system so that the rational course of action is to accept their rule, that any rebellion will hurt you more than them

      The rebellion happens eventually anyway, because of spite People can only take so much suffering before they become irrational, before they're willing to do ANYTHING just to hurt the people who hurt them, even if it destroys themselves

          I see yeah. I can get behind that... I guess when I said the premise of The Cold Equations is ridiculous I meant the technological/sf premise. It does seem plausible to me that /sometimes/ a no win scenario just doesn't include a spite worthy character/system.

          The way that spite could improve things is how this wasn’t the first time the operator had to kill somebody. They could do better security sweeps before launch, redesign whatever flaw made it easy to sneak on, do awareness campaigns... 1/2
