Replying to @misterUkelele @AscianSuperPAC

What's wrong with wanting to start your own country on another planet? Hell, we did it on this planet. (obviously not ethically but that's less of a worry on an uninhabited planet)

Look at how Elon Musk abuses his workers in somebody else's country and then ask yourself what it'd be like if he got to write all the laws

So it would be a good idea to get him off of this planet then, right? And then anyone who follows him deals with the consequences. Or, are we supposed to interfere since we're the big, bad United States?

The way several of the OG American colonies financed their startup labor costs by exploiting indentured servants would today be considered trafficking and a crime against humanity

Absolutely, as it should. But I'm talking about volunteers that could follow him to Mars - not slaves he takes with him. Those people would have to deal with whatever comes, no?

Most human trafficking that takes place these days is technically voluntary, the person signs up out of economic desperation

Great point. I just think in this fictional instance, if he's bad for planet Earth, give him some patch of desert thousands of miles away and let him go.

I don't want him to have power over other people, period, I couldn't care less what he gets up to on Earth otherwise

I respect the altruism. I just think in that particular case, the onus is on the volunteer. But I get where you're coming from.
