      I think the Virginia Company is probably a more apt comparison, though crossing a sea to exploit a land for profit hardly makes them more likely to make fair decisions. Like does anyone think Musk is going to give people an equal vote?

      Yeah the two main realistic appeals I can think of for taking a one-way trip to live in a space colony for the rest of your life are 1) religious nutjob seeking a "purified" society, or 2) nightmare capitalist seeking unlimited exploitation

      Those are basically the two kinds of colonies we had in America

      I'm not saying that there's no such thing as genuinely downtrodden poor people seeking to flee to a new land to escape persecution But those generally don't top the list of "official" colony projects, because those people don't have any money

      North Carolina, for instance, is the result of people fleeing Virginia into the crappy uninhabited northern part of the Carolina colony which was officially owned by the rich assholes in Charleston The split into NC and SC was because it was easier than kicking them out

      I guess theoretically the "right" way of doing it would be to be Maroons

      This is the origin story of the Seminoles -- a culture created by Natives, enslaved Black people, and poor white people all fleeing colonial authority into the swamp But Andrew Jackson couldn't just let that go and he went and occupied the land without orders, a war crime

      But they decided it was a GOOD war crime and elected him President and now we have the State of Florida

          A good state motto for Florida, looking at its whole history from beginning to end, would be "You couldn't even let them have the fucking swamp"
