One reason this isn't really coherent is that the "end of history" in the pejorative sense people say about "neoliberals" means that *we will continue as we are* indefinitely into the future That we'll have governments and corporations as we know them as we colonize the starshttps://twitter.com/NathanJRobinson/status/1340824411100901376 …

A genuine critique of the "end of history" is one that argues *something else* will happen after this status quo we have now Not necessarily a good one or one that we'll like, just something different All of us being vaporized in a nuclear war is one of those different things

So is the idea that maybe something comes after us that goes out and spreads across the stars or something but actually is *alien* and completely different from us *Not* something that looks like our world but nicer with a robust welfare state

It's just so headass for someone who's all pro-aliens who thinks that aliens would be our benevolent role models to think they're the broad-minded, open-minded ones To think that an "alien civilization" would have "people" in it at all
